What Does a Check Engine Light Mean

There could be several reasons why your check engine has become illuminated while traveling around Chicago. One of the minor reasons for the check engine light is a loose or faulty gas cap. Your vehicle's fuel system is sealed, so if there is any change in pressure, the check engine will illuminate to prevent loss of fuel. Another minor issue could be your mass airflow sensor, or MAS.

The MAS regulates the air in mixture with the fuel. If the mixture is out of balance, the light will illuminate, so your MAS must be checked for signs of wear. Other, more serious causes of the check engine light include worn spark plugs and a faulty catalytic converter. Either component that begins to wear will cause your engine to run less efficiently near Harwood Heights.
