What does a check engine light mean?
That dreaded check engine light can send a shiver down any driver's spine. But fear not!
Understanding what it means and how to address it can save you time, money, and a lot of stress.
Your car's onboard diagnostic system (OBD) is like a tiny health monitor, constantly checking in on various components. When it detects an issue, it signals you with that telltale light. This could be anything from a minor problem like a loose gas cap to a more serious issue like a malfunctioning sensor.
