The check engine light is part of the diagnostic systems of your vehicle. When the check the engine light is illuminated, it indicates a malfunction with one of the systems of your vehicle. However, the light does not specify the system or issue that has malfunctioned. You will need to take your vehicle to a service center for check engine light diagnosis to determine what is causing the light to illuminate. Not all types of auto service centers offer this service. At Nemer Volkswagen, we carry all the technology required to complete a reliable check engine light diagnosis and we offer services to fix the issue.

What to Do If Check Engine Light Comes On?

We highly recommend that you do not delay getting a diagnosis service if the check engine light has come on. You should also check if the engine is overheating. If the engine is overheating, you should pull over and shut off the engine. A flashing check engine light can indicate a more urgent issue compared to a stable light. Our technicians will connect a diagnostic tool to the computer of your vehicle. The diagnostic tool will pinpoint the issue causing the check engine light to illuminate.

There are several reasons for the check engine light to come on. It could be a minor issue such as a loose gas cap , or it could indicate a major problem with a catalytic converter or an engine misfire.
