Has your engine light in Palma de Mallorca and don't know what to do? Don't panic, but don't ignore it either. At Zamule Cars, we'll explain what it means and how to fix it.
What does the illuminated engine light mean?
The engine fault light (also called check engine o THOUSAND) indicates that the engine control unit has detected a fault affecting emissions or engine operation. It could be something minor or something serious, which is why it's crucial to carry out a diagnosis in Palma as soon as possible.
Most common causes of the engine light
- Defective oxygen sensor: increases fuel consumption
- Damaged catalytic converter: emissions out of range
- Loose fuel tank cap: the silliest and most common cause
- Defective coils or spark plugs: the engine misfires or shakes
- Dirty EGR valve: the car loses power
- Clogged particulate filter (DPF): black smoke and loss of power
- Faulty MAF or MAP sensor: incorrect air-fuel mixture
Can I keep driving with the engine light on?
It depends. If the warning light is flashing, pull over safely as soon as possible and call us. If the warning light is steady (not flashing), you can drive carefully to our workshop in Palma, but don't put it off for more than 1-2 days.
