Why Is My Acura’s Check Engine Light On?
What To Do When You See The Check Engine Light Appear On Your Dash
Each time you start your Acura, the check engine light, among other warning icons, will flash before promptly turning off shortly after. If the check engine light happens to stay illuminated once the other lights disappear, it could be a sign that there is something wrong with your Acura. There’s no need to panic, however, as the fix could be something as easy as tightening your gas cap. Yes, we know it may sound odd, but a loose gas cap can oftentimes trigger this light to come on, so simply take a moment to ensure it is tightly fastened and then check to see if the issue has been resolved.
If this wasn’t the issue, it may, unfortunately, mean that your check engine light could be signaling an issue with one of the more integral components of your Acura. For this reason, it is important to address the issue as soon it arises by scheduling service at our Acura service center in St. Louis, as ignoring this issue could be doing additional damage to your beloved vehicle. It is also very common that certain check engine light-related issues can also be compromising your fuel economy, primarily if the check engine light is signaling a problem with a faulty spark plug or mass airflow sensor. Either way, it is one of those warning lights that simply can not be ignored.
