Check Engine Light Click for details!

Contrary to popular belief the check engine light (also called service engine, or maintenance required light) is not the same as the oil pressure, or level light, nor the same as the engine temperature light. It is indicating an electronic fault in one of the engine, transmission, or other computer controlled systems. It is also NOT just an indication of a pollution control issue, although it CAN be indicating a failure in a pollution control system, it ALSO can be triggered by LITERALLY hundreds of OTHER reasons. 

ACCURATE diagnosis of the service engine light requires complex testing. The scan result you may have acquired at one of the parts vendors does NOT tell you what is wrong, it is a SIMPLE description of the fault. We must enter that fault into our diagnostic service information, and it may print out 5 pages of step by step tests we must perform to find the REAL source of the problem. The code scanner is simply a tool, no different than a screwdriver or wrench, it is NOT a magic diagnostic machine.
