Factors Causing Check Engine Light Illumination in Royal Palm Beach

Bad Oxygen Sensor

The oxygen sensor is responsible for keeping a tab on the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust and regulates the air-fuel mixture. A failing oxygen sensor often can cause the engine to run inefficiently and lead to other problems like poor fuel economy and increased emissions. If the problem persists for a long time, it can damage the catalytic converter. This is when you come across an illuminated check engine light on your vehicle’s dashboard.

Faulty Ignition Coils and Spark Plugs

The ignition system in your vehicle is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in your combustion chamber, and most often, worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils can lead to engine misfires, reduced power, and poor fuel economy in your vehicle. In fact, problems like these do lead to the flashing of the check engine light as the engine gets adversely affected due to faulty ignition coils and spark plugs. Get in touch with our certified auto repair shop to have your vehicle inspected for problems.

Failing Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter plays a leading role in controlling the emissions of harmful pollutants by converting the toxic gases produced during the combustion process into less harmful ones. When the catalytic converter goes bad, the performance of your car goes for a toss, and emissions increase tremendously. A malfunctioning catalytic converter is often the root cause behind the illuminated check engine light. Contact us at our garage in Royal Palm Beach to get your check engine light diagnosed and remedial measures initiated to fix the problem.

Malfunctioning Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor is responsible for measuring the amount of air entering the engine as it is vital for ensuring the proper air-fuel mixture needed for combustion. Often a malfunctioning MAF sensor can lead to rough idling, reduced fuel economy, difficulty in starting, and engine hesitation. Moreover, the incorrect reading sent by the sensor leads to the engine running too lean or too rich, leading to check engine light illumination. Replacing the faulty MAF sensor is going to solve the problems.
