If your check engine light comes on, it can mean a lot of different things. If it’s flashing, it means you should pull over immediately and call for a tow to our service center, as that indicates imminent damage to your vehicle. If the light is solid, you’ll want to bring your vehicle in soon to get the check engine light diagnosed. At Suntrup Volkswagen, we perform check engine light diagnostics for your Volkswagen, helping you know what your car needs.
To understand the check engine light, you have to know that there are hundreds of sensors in your vehicle, many line the fuel system (including the fuel tank to the engine through to the tailpipe). These sensors lining the fuel system have normal parameters for what they’re measuring, whether it’s oxygen content, engine revolutions, or something else. If they get a reading outside normal parameters, they send an error code to the computer, turning on the check engine light.
Our experts start all check engine light diagnostics by looking at the code that caused the computer to turn on the check engine light. This gives them an immediate idea of where the problem might be or what might be causing it, and from there, they go into your car and start looking it over. They check for any cause that might have made that sensor take an abnormal reading, ruling out problems until they’ve found the correct cause. Once they confirm the specific reason, they’ll report that information back to you.
After you’ve diagnosed your check engine light, you’re likely going to want to fix the problem. That’s no issue for our certified technicians because they’ve actively trained for this very situation.
