Check Engine Light is on Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hi there:

In most cases, when all of these lights are illuminated on the dashboard, it’s typically caused by a faulty speed sensor inside the transmission; as it’s one of the few components that helps to activate all of these systems. It could also be a problem with the ABS control module or other electrical connectors. To know for sure, you should have a mobile mechanic start by completing a check engine light inspection; so they can download all error codes to determine what is causing this issue to occur.
