Common Reasons Your Check Engine Light Turns On

Loose or faulty gas cap: One of the simplest fixes — but it can trigger your check engine light and affect fuel efficiency.
Oxygen sensor or catalytic converter issues: Critical for emissions and performance; ignoring them can lead to costly repairs.
Faulty spark plugs or ignition components: Worn plugs or coils can cause misfires, rough starts, and poor fuel economy.
Transmission or engine performance issues: Your vehicle’s computer flags anything from slipping gears to reduced engine power.
Emission control system problems: Malfunctions here can harm both your car’s efficiency and the environment.
