Modern vehicles are equipped with onboard computers that monitor the critical systems in your car and warn you when something is going wrong. Your Check Engine light is the computer’s way of telling you that there may be a problem and your car needs service as soon as possible.

Your vehicle’s check engine light can trigger for a number of reasons that vary in significance. The check engine light can activate for something as simple as a loose gas cap to something as serious as a faulty catalytic convertor. Below is a list of a few of the possible problems that could cause your Check Engine light to activate.

• Loose gas cap
• Problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit
• System running too lean or too rich
• Cylinder misfire
• Knock sensor circuit malfunction
• Insufficient EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) flow
• Catalyst system efficiency below threshold
• Faulty Oxygen Sensor

These are just a few of the hundreds of codes, causes, and symptoms that would result in an engaged Check Engine Light.

Our Free Check Engine Light Code Retrieval involves you getting quick and accurate answers from a professional Pep Boys technician. When the check engine light turns on, a fault code detailing the nature of the issue is registered in your vehicle’s diagnostic system computer. This fault code is stored and can only be retrieved with specialized equipment that can communicate with your vehicle’s diagnostic system computer. We use that equipment to pull the code from your computer, analyze the findings and provide you with a game plan to get your car back on the road.
