What is a Check Engine Light Diagnostic?

How Our Diagnostics Testing Works

While highway driving tends to be easier on your brakes, the prolonged high speeds can cause strain on your engine, transmission and tires. Over time, tires may wear unevenly, and the suspension can weaken. To keep your vehicle safe, consider these tips:

  • Scanning for Trouble Codes: We connect to your car’s onboard diagnostics system to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that indicate potential issues.
  • Interpreting the Codes: Each code provides insight into specific problems, helping us narrow down the issue.
  • Visual Inspection: Based on the codes, we inspect key components to confirm the diagnosis and assess the condition of your vehicle.
  • Additional Testing: If needed, we perform further tests to ensure we’ve accurately identified the problem.

Advanced Equipment for Accurate Results

We use state-of-the-art tools and technologies to provide precise diagnostics, including professional-grade scan tools, electrical testing devices and updated diagnostic software. This allows us to tackle everything from simple fixes to complex engine or transmission issues.

With a meticulous process and cutting-edge equipment, Apex Automotive ensures your vehicle gets the accurate diagnosis it needs to stay safe and reliable.

Common Reasons the Check Engine Light Comes On

Not all check engine light warnings are the same. Understanding what’s behind the light can save you time, money and potential stress. Here are some common culprits:

Person’s hand tightening a gas fuel cap on a car, with the fuel door open and the vehicle’s glossy exterior reflecting surroundings.

Loose Gas Cap

If the gas cap is loose or damaged, it can cause a leak in the fuel system, triggering the check engine light as the system detects an issue with fuel vapor containment.

Sensor Issues

Malfunctioning sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor, can disrupt the engine’s performance and efficiency. These issues often lead to problems like poor acceleration, decreased fuel economy or rough idling.

Ignition System Problems

Worn spark plugs or failing ignition coils can cause misfires, which reduce engine performance and may lead to noticeable power loss.

Catalytic Converter and Emissions Issues

A failing catalytic converter affects emissions control, often resulting in increased exhaust pollutants and decreased overall engine efficiency.
