How Should the Check Engine Light Be Addressed?
In addition to turning on the Check Engine Light, the ECU will also store a unique code pointing to the system with the issue. To read this code, our technicians will hook your VW up to a code reader. This will then tell them where they should focus their inspection.
Is the Check Engine Light an Emergency?
The Check Engine Light, while important, is usually not a sign of an immediate emergency. If a solid Check Engine Light comes on, you can generally continue your drive. However, it's best to schedule a service appointment once you reach your destination since problems with the engine can lead to decreased performance and fuel efficiency, as well as increased emissions.
There is one exception. If the Check Engine Light is flashing, it is likely to signify a misfiring engine, which can damage the catalytic converter. In this case, we recommend pulling over immediately and calling for a tow.
What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?
The Engine Control Unit, or ECU, is a computer that monitors your VW model's engine functions, as well as the various engine inputs. If the ECU sees that the engine is not functioning as it should, it will turn on the Check Engine Light. This is a wide net, with some of the common Check Engine Light triggers being problems with components like the:
- Thermostat
- O2 sensor
- Spark plug
- EGR valve
- Mass airflow sensor
