Express Car Care Tech Question on Your Check Engine Light

July 2, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Express Car Care Tech Question on Your Check Engine LightExpress Car Care Tech Question:

I’m Alex.  My Check Engine Light came on in my truck and I’ve tried several things to make it go off but nothing has worked.  What should I do?

Express Car Care Answer:

Like Alex, most Denver car owners have experienced their check engine light coming on suddenly.  We get frustrated because we don’t know why.  Of course that’s perfectly understandable:  There are many reasons for the check engine light to come on – and there’s only one light.

Alex said she tried several things to get the light to go off – but it didn’t work.  Her goal was to get the light to turn off.  I would suggest that the goal should be to find out what caused the light to come on in the first place – and fix it.

You can search the internet and find millions of sites with tricks to get your truck engine light to turn off.  But what good does that do?  Whatever caused the light to come on is still wrong.  Not getting to the bottom of the problem can lead to other problems for Denver motorist – some minor and some more serious and expensive.

Your helpful Express Car Care service professional can get you started down the road of properly diagnosing the problem so you can have it repaired.  You can save yourself some time and frustration next time by having a professional diagnose the problem right away.
