Maintenance & Automobile

If your automobile is equipped with onboard diagnostics, the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (in some models, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light) should flash briefly once you turn the ignition to on, then flashes and goes out. It should remain out while you are driving. Do not ignore the light if it remains lit — there could be a simple solution, or it could be a warning sign of a much more severe condition. Jacksonville AAMCO auto repair shops can diagnose whatever the problem may be.

Often the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (in some models, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light) will light to alert you to problems detected by the computer. The on-board computer stores a diagnostic trouble code when it detects a problem; the trained mechanics at Jacksonville AAMCO can access this information using a scanning device connected to the automobile's computer.

Maintenance & Automobile

The oxygen sensor should be replaced by a Jacksonville AAMCO mechanic at the interval indicated in your owner's manual, or if there are signs of a faulty oxygen sensor. The signs include that rotten egg smell from the exhaust, poor gas mileage, failing an emissions test, and poor acceleration. Some automobiles also have an oxygen sensor light that appears when the sensor needs replacement, or it can also cause the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (in some models, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light) to come on. If the light remains lit, do not ignore it. There could be a simple solution, or it could be a warning sign of a much more severe condition. AAMCO auto repair shops can diagnose whatever the problem may be.
