Poway Check Engine Light

The check-engine light, also known as malfunction indicator lamp is an orange, yellow, or amber-colored indicator that appears once a car's computer has detected a problem. Though the vehicle may seem to work normally, an underlying issue could be at hand. Sometimes the problem is as simple as a loose gas cap or faulty spark plug, though it could be as complex as a failed catalytic converter. In any case, the worst thing to do about a check engine light is nothing. Instead, drivers should bring their vehicles in for a diagnostic inspection before a small problem becomes a bigger one.

We here at Hunda Automotive have state-of-the-art equipment designed to detect the causes of check-engine lights and the warnings they indicate. Though there are many different things that can trigger a check engine light to appear, some of the most common causes are:

• O2 sensor
• Loose gas cap
• Faulty catalytic converter
• Mass air flow sensor
• Spark plug wires
• Faulty or damaged fuel injector

Depending on the diagnostic code detected during our testing, we may check various systems within your vehicle to narrow down the problem. For example, a mass air flow sensor code may lead us to check your vehicle's air filter or the wiring and air ducts connected to your car's mass air flow sensor.
