Solid vs. Blinking Check Engine Light (CEL)
A flashing CEL indicates a serious issue that requires immediate attention! A flashing CEL likely means an engine misfile that could lead to significant damage to the engine, catalytic converter, or exhaust system if ignored. If you see a flashing check engine light, safely pull over and turn off your engine. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle, have it towed the nearest Parkor Auto Care Tire Pros for expert care.
A solid check engine light usually indicates a non-emergency issue, but it is always best to have the vehicle inspected by an expert technician at Parkor Auto Care Tire Pros as soon as possible. Some of the most common causes of a solid CEL include issue with:
- Oxygen Sensor
- Catalytic Converter
- Spark Plugs
