"My check engine light came on! What do I do?"
First, take a deep breath. Your check engine light is the computer system that monitors your car letting you know that there's something worth checking out. The computer your engine is connected to is constantly monitoring your driving environment and engine conditions. In the event an issue occurs, the computer will generate a code that is temporarily stored so a Factory Certified Technician may be able to read and interpret the issue.
Sometimes, your check engine light might be a sporadic issue. Even though your check engine indicator light might turn off, it's never something you want to ignore. Especially if your indicator light is flashing; in those instances it is best to call us immediately and explain what you're experiencing. While dealing with a flashing indicator light, be sure to take it easy and avoid strenuous highway speeds and hauling heavy loads. Lute Riley Honda is located conveniently off the North Central Expressway, so drive with caution while on your way to see us. The flashing check engine light is meant to notify you that there may be something seriously wrong with the functionality of your engine.
