Why a Check Engine Light Turns On
If your check engine light turns on, it's usually because a sensor in your fuel system has registered a reading that's outside normal limits. You have sensors throughout the fuel system that sample multiple types of gases and combustion products, and they all have "normal" readings that mean the engine is functioning as it should. An abnormal reading can be anything from a coincidence at the sensor to a problem with your engine. That's why every sensor sends a unique code to the computer when they detect a specific anomaly.

How We Diagnose Check Engine Lights
Once our certified technicians pull up the code that the computer received, they look that code up and match it to the sensor. This already gives them a good idea of where in the fuel system the problem was noticed, and their years of experience and training help them figure out what's causing that problem. They'll work tirelessly to locate the source of any strange readings in your fuel system until they're sure they've fixed the problem or until they're sure the problem was a one-time issue.
