The check engine light serves as a vital indicator of your vehicle’s health, alerting you to potential issues that require attention. Diagnosing the cause behind a lit check engine light is a crucial step in maintaining your vehicle’s performance, efficiency, and safety. At Bay Diagnostic, we specialize in comprehensive check engine light diagnostics, ensuring that your vehicle receives accurate assessments and timely solutions.

Understanding the Check Engine Light

The check engine light is part of your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. It illuminates when the system detects a potential issue that could impact your vehicle’s performance, emissions, or overall functionality. Ignoring the check engine light can lead to more severe problems and compromised driving experiences.

Diagnosing Check Engine Light Codes

When the check engine light comes on, it triggers specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that provide insights into the underlying issue. Our skilled technicians utilize advanced diagnostic tools to retrieve these codes and interpret them accurately. This enables us to pinpoint the exact problem and recommend appropriate solutions.
