Check Engine Light Diagnostics and Repair

Sundance Automotive Repair Lakewood, CO

 

Every car owner dreads seeing that light come on and having to find a mechanic for check engine light diagnostics and repair. Sundance Automotive in Lakewood, Colorado will make it as painless as possible with fast service, accurate diagnosis and reasonable prices on any repairs needed.

 

So, what does this light mean? Well, it's connected to an on-board diagnostic system (OBD-II) that is federally required on all vehicles. This system regulates vehicle emissions, controlling and adjusting the catalytic converter, ignition, fuel mixture and other components to limit the amount of pollutants that a car releases into the environment. When the OBD-II cannot fix an issue, it turns on the warning light to let you know it needs check engine light diagnostics and repair.

• If the light is steady, it's likely not an emergency, but your car is probably producing a lot of harmful emissions and may be having issues with performance and fuel efficiency. Before the issue worsens and starts damaging other engine parts, make an appointment with Sundance.
• If your check engine light is blinking, it should not be ignored. In fact, your car may already be misfiring, overheating, or struggling to accelerate. If it's drivable, reduce your speed and get to the nearest mechanic. To be safe and prevent added damage, call for a tow.
