What Does the Check Engine Light Indicate?

The check engine light has become a standard feature in modern vehicles, including Volkswagen models. The check engine light can come on for many reasons. It could be something as minor as a loose gas cap, or it could be a significant issue with the engine, exhaust system, or other systems of your vehicle. The check engine light can be solid or flashing. A flashing check engine light can indicate a more urgent issue with your vehicle. Whether the check engine light is solid or flashing, we recommend you don’t ignore an illuminated check engine light. Any delay in getting diagnosis and service can result in serious damage to your vehicle, requiring costly repairs.

What to Do if the Check Engine Light Comes On?

The check engine light does not specify the exact issue with your vehicle. For the check engine light diagnosis, you need to bring your vehicle to a professional auto technician.
