Common Causes of a Check Engine Light
Your vehicle’s Check Engine Light can turn on for a variety of reasons, ranging from minor issues to serious engine problems. Here are some of the most common causes:
Loose or Faulty Gas Cap
One of the simplest yet most overlooked reasons for a Check Engine Light is a loose or damaged gas cap. A faulty cap can allow fuel vapors to escape, triggering the light and reducing fuel efficiency. Checking and tightening your gas cap is an easy first step if your light comes on.
Faulty Oxygen Sensor
Your vehicle’s oxygen sensor monitors the level of unburned oxygen in the exhaust system. When it malfunctions, your engine may burn fuel inefficiently, leading to poor fuel economy and increased emissions. Ignoring this issue for too long can also damage other engine components, such as the catalytic converter.
Bad Spark Plugs or Ignition Coils
Spark plugs and ignition coils are essential for proper engine combustion. Worn-out or faulty spark plugs can cause misfires, reduced power, and poor fuel efficiency. If left unaddressed, this issue can lead to more serious engine damage.
Malfunctioning Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF)
The mass airflow sensor helps regulate the amount of air entering the engine to ensure proper fuel mixture. If this sensor fails, your car may experience rough idling, hesitation, or stalling. A faulty MAF sensor can also lead to excessive fuel consumption.
Failing Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter is a crucial component of your vehicle’s emissions system. It helps reduce harmful emissions like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. If your catalytic converter fails, your vehicle may produce excessive emissions, lose power, or even fail an emissions test.
