Engine management light

The engine computer has stored a fault code. It could be a sensor, ignition or emissions problem. If the light is flashing, the engine is misfiring: ease off and have it looked at straight away.

A general guide only. A diagnostic check tells you exactly what's wrong.

Before you call

Three things worth checking

Is it steady or flashing?

A flashing light usually means something is happening right now, like an engine misfire. Ease off and get it checked straight away.

Check the levels

With the engine off and cool, check oil and coolant against the marks. Low levels explain a lot of red lights.

Note what changed

New noises, smells, or how the car feels to drive. Put it in your quote request and it helps us find the fault faster.
