Frequently Asked Questions
The engine light can be triggered by hundreds of different sensors. It could be anything from a loose gas cap to a failing oxygen sensor or engine misfire. A diagnostic test is the only way to know for sure.
If the light is amber/yellow, you should get it checked as soon as possible. If the light is RED or FLASHING, you must stop immediately as this indicates a serious problem that could damage your engine.
A basic code read takes about 20-30 minutes. A full diagnostic investigation typically takes between 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of the fault.
