When you start up your Acura, you’ll see a bevy of warning lights on your dashboard. These lights typically go out after a second or two under normal conditions. However, a problem with your vehicle can cause the Check Engine Light to stay illuminated or flash repeatedly. If you see a Check Engine Light on your Acura’s dashboard, don’t panic. It’s simply an indicator that your vehicle needs service as soon as possible. Fortunately, the service department at Vern Eide Acura can help you get your vehicle sorted out and back on the streets of Sioux Falls, SD.
Think of the Check Engine Light or CEL as an early warning system for your vehicle. Countless sensors monitor every facet of your Acura’s performance. Whenever there’s a sign of trouble, the appropriate sensor sends electrical signals that trigger the CEL and creates an On-Board Diagnostic code for later retrieval by a service technician. The underlying cause behind a CEL could be as simple as a loose fuel filler cap or a malfunctioning sensor. In other cases, a CEL could indicate the start of a more serious problem for your Acura. Common causes include catalytic converter failure, ignition issues, vacuum leaks, and oxygen sensor failure. A CEL can accompany a variety of common symptoms, including poor acceleration, engine misfire, and poor fuel economy.
