Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive with the check engine light on?
If the light is steady, you can usually drive carefully to get it checked soon. If the light is flashing, it indicates a severe misfire. Pull over safely and have the vehicle towed to avoid catalytic converter damage.
Will the check engine light turn off on its own?
Sometimes, if the issue was temporary (like a loose gas cap). However, the underlying problem may still exist even if the light goes off. A diagnostic scan can reveal stored codes that indicate past issues.
