Sterling Acura of Austin Handles Check Engine Light Diagnosis

As a car owner, one of the most stressful experiences is when the check engine light comes on out of nowhere. It can mean so much or so little, but it could potentially cost a whole lot more than you were expecting to pay for your car this month. At Sterling Acura of Austin, we don’t want that stress on you. If your check engine light comes on, we’re the place to diagnose and fix the problem. Our state-of-the-art service center has all the technology necessary to put your fears to rest.

Reasons Your Check Engine Light Could Be On

The check engine light has two different ways of turning it on. The first, and most common, is when it comes on and stays on. This indicates that a sensor in your engine’s system has picked up reading outside of its normal parameters, and there may be a problem that needs fixing. The second way it turns on is when it turns on and starts blinking, in which case you need to pull over immediately. This indicates that there is something so wrong happening that engine damage is imminent. At that point, you need to tow the car to our shop.

How We Check Your Engine

So your check engine light comes on and stays on; now what? Well, the quicker you can come in to diagnose it, the better. Our expert team will hook your car up to our computers and get a code that was output by the engine. We match that code to the sensor it came from and the general reason that sensor gives that particular code. Once we have that, we can sort through the possible causes of the abnormal reading, and we’ll be able to find the problem for you.

Never Neglect the Check Engine Light

While a solid check engine light means you don’t have to come in immediately, putting off diagnosis can let a small problem fester. Plus, if your check engine light is on, you won’t be able to see it come on for something else, so if there is a chain of problems and you’re sitting on the first one, there could be serious damage to your engine. Let us take care of your check engine light diagnosis today at Sterling Acura of Austin.
