My "Check Engine" light is on. What does it mean?

checkengineIt means your vehicle's onboard computer system has self-diagnosed some kind of problem. The "Check Engine" light, which is also called a "Malfunction Indicator Lamp" (MIL) or "Service Engine Soon" (SES) lamp, is there to signal you when a problem occurs that may require attention. This can include anything from a momentary hiccup that has has little or no noticeable affect on engine performance or driving safety to a failure of a major electronic component.

There's no way to know what the light means without running a diagnostic scan on the system to determine the nature of the fault.As a rule, a continuous Check Engine light usually signals a "hard fault" or failure that has occurred. If the light comes on and off, or only blinks momentarily, the problem may be minor or intermittent in nature.To help identify the problem, please consult our service engineer @ 03-41069395 or drop by at our service centre @ No 1 & 3, Jalan 3/4C, Desa Melawati,, 53100 Kuala Lumpur. Because we know what is the best for your car !!
