1. Why is my Check Engine light on?

It could be any number of things. All your Check Engine light can tell you is that there’s a problem; not necessarily where the problem is. In order to get an accurate assessment, it’s important to bring your vehicle to a reputable auto shop.

2. Can I keep driving with the Check Engine light on?

You usually can, but it’s not the best idea. Continuing to drive with the light on may lead to further damage to your vehicle, reduced fuel efficiency, and safety concerns. Have your vehicle checked out as soon as you possibly can.

3. What should I do when the Check Engine light comes on?

Bring your vehicle to a professional mechanic, like those at Milex - Mr. Transmission. We use advanced diagnostic tools to interpret your onboard computer’s trouble codes and provide efficient solutions.

4. How much does it cost to fix the problem indicated by the Check Engine light?

That will depend on the nature of the issue. Some issues might not be as expensive to fix, but some can be more expensive. We’ll give you an estimate before we get started.

5. Is it safe to drive with the Check Engine light blinking?

In most cases, no. When your Check Engine light is blinking, that usually indicates a more severe problem that requires immediate attention. Continuing to drive with a blinking Check Engine light can lead to severe problems and damage.

6. Does a Check Engine light mean I won't pass an emissions test?

If your location requires emissions testing, vehicles with an illuminated Check Engine light are not likely to pass. We’ll help you understand what the emissions test requirements are in your area and provide solutions that keep you compliant.

7. How long does it take to diagnose the problem causing the Check Engine light?

That will depend on the severity of the problem. Simple issues are usually easy to identify, where complex problems require more testing and inspection.

8. Is there a way to prevent the check engine light from coming on?

It’s not possible to prevent every issue, but regular vehicle maintenance and addressing unusual things as you notice them can help keep bigger problems at bay – and keep your Check Engine light off.
