Please give me a few moments to go over your concerns.
While I'm reviewing your case, would you mind sending me your VIN? This will allow me to give you the most accurate
information possible based on your specific vehicle. Please know this is not an auto response message system. We are
full time Automotive technicians, who field cases as they come in. If you do not receive a prompt response, this means we have stepped away momentarily
or are working on your case as well as many others. Please be patient as we work through this. May I ask your name?

The check engine light comes on when the on-board computer detects a fault in engine driveability or performance, transmission control system or transmission, or the emissions system, and a fault code is set and stored in the computer. Faults that can set the check engine light can range from a vaccuum leak, engine mis-fire, low engine compression, faulty sensor such as O2 sensor or other engine sensor, hydraulic pressure loss in transmission, transmission shift solenoid, open/short in wiring harness, emission evaporative system leak, or one of over a hundred different reasons.
The only way to know what set a fault code and turned the check engine light on is to have a diagnostic scanner hooked up to the on-board computer and read it for stored diagnostic fault codes. Many auto parts stores will do this service for free- (like auto zone)check with you local parts stores. If none in your area do, then you will have to take it to a shop and pay to have the computer read for stored fault codes.
Without knowing the fault codes numbers, it would be irresponsible to guess as to the cause as there are hundreds of possible causes
if you provide me a diagnostic code we can narrow down the cause of failure
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
