Check Engine Light
in Aliso Viejo, CA

If your Check Engine light comes on, it's a clear sign that your vehicle requires professional attention. However, not all Check Engine lights are created equal. A steady light indicates a less urgent issue, but one that still needs to be checked as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your vehicle. On the other hand, a flashing Check Engine light signifies a more severe problem that requires immediate attention to prevent significant damage to your car's engine or emission system. At Super Service of Aliso Viejo, we recommend bringing your vehicle in for a diagnostic check the moment your Check Engine light comes on. Ignoring this warning can lead to decreased performance, higher fuel consumption, and potentially costly repairs down the line.

Understanding the urgency and implications of a Check Engine light can save you time and money. Common reasons for a Check Engine light include a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, loose or faulty gas cap, catalytic converter issues, spark plug/ignition coil failures, and mass airflow sensor problems. Each of these issues can significantly impact your vehicle's performance and efficiency. By choosing Super Service of Aliso Viejo for your Check Engine light diagnostics, you're entrusting your vehicle to experts who will accurately diagnose and resolve the issue, ensuring your car is operating safely and at peak performance.

This tool reads the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in your car's computer, which indicate the nature of the problem. However, diagnosing the issue doesn't end with reading a code. Our technicians perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of the warning. This may involve inspecting related components, verifying the condition of sensors and wiring, and conducting performance tests.

Once the issue has been accurately diagnosed, our team will discuss the findings with you, providing a clear explanation of the problem, the necessary repairs, and an estimate of the cost and time required to fix it.
