Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions Eric's Auto Lab customers ask most about check engine light check. Have a different one? Call (847) 303-5606 and we’ll help.
A steady light usually means the issue should be checked soon rather than immediately, while a flashing light signals a more serious condition such as an active misfire — ease off and have it looked at promptly. When in doubt, call us before driving far.
It can be — a loose or failed fuel cap is one of the more common triggers. But the same light can also point to a failing sensor or an emissions fault, so we pull the codes and verify the real condition before assuming.
We run a full OBD-II code scan, review live data, and confirm the actual fault rather than replacing a part on the code alone. Then we give you honest, prioritized recommendations.
A code identifies the circuit or system reporting a problem, not always the component that failed. Verifying first prevents paying for parts that don't fix the issue.
An illuminated check engine light and stored codes commonly relate to emissions and drivability faults, which can affect a test. We identify what's triggering it so the underlying problem gets corrected.
Yes. An intermittent fault can clear temporarily while the underlying condition remains, and stored history can often still be read. A scan confirms whether the problem is truly resolved.
