Check Engine Light Carbon County Automotive Utah

Check Engine Light -
 What the light means and what to do if it comes on.

What The Light Means
      1) Onboard Diagnostics (OBD)
          A)  This controls and monitors your vehicle performance - such as engine speed,  (RPM)
                 fuel mixture, ignition timing. The computer also tells the automatic transmission when to shift.
          B)  When the computer finds a problem it can't correct, it turns on a light that is labeled

                 "engine, or Service engine"        

        C)  When the light come on the computer has stored a "trouble code" in its memory that

                that identifies the source of the problem. (such as - malfunctioning sensor or a
               misfiring engine.
          D)   This is then read with an electronic scan tool or a Diagnostic computer.

What to do
If the 'check engine" light comes on it will either blink or remain constant, depending on the problem.  But it means it is time to get your car/truck checked.

      1)   In late - model cars it usually indicates a misfire that can be burning up your fuel dumping it into your exhaust system.( Have car or truck looked at a.s.a.p.)
                 *This can quickly damage your catalytic converter- requiring expensive repair.
     2) If the light is steady - Just schedule and appointment  - not usually an emergency.
Today's automotive computers often try to compensate when there's a problem; so you may not notice deterioration in performance, even though your fuel mileage is suffering and your vehicle is emitting levels of hydrocarbons & pollutants.
Tips if you Check Engine Light Comes On   
     1) Check your dashboard lights / gauges for 
           A)     Low oil pressure
           B)     Overheating
                      These conditions mean you should pull over and shut off the engine a.s.a.p. in a safe
                      place.
                             On most cars - Yellow "check engine" means investigate - giving you time to
                             investigate and schedule an appointment.
          C)     Try tightening your gas cap. ( keep in mind, it may take several trips before the light
                    resets.
          D)     Reduce speed and load.  If  the 'check engine" light is blinking or you notice any serious
                         *Performance problems, such as a loss of power, reduced speed.  Reduce your speed & try to reduce the load ( if your towing a trailer) on the engine.  ( make an apt. to have code read)
          E)      This is not the time to get a state emissions test. (Which should be eliminated in 2013) It will most likely fail.
The best advice is to read your owner's manual beforehand and learn the purpose of the "check engine" light and every other gauge and warning indicator on your dashboard.

 Checking the CV Joint should be part of your Regular Maintenance .
CV Joint Failure Constant velocity joints (CV joints) are found on many cars and even some trucks. Though vehicle manufacturers are reintroducing rear-wheel drive on more new cars, over 80 percent of all the cars on the road today are front-wheel-drive, and every one has four CV joints. The outer CV joints are usually the ones that most often need to be replaced. There are two reasons, one is that the outer CV joints wear more than the inner CV joints, The outer boots on the outer joints are more apt to fail than the ones on the inner joints. CV Joint boot failure is bad news for any CV joint because it dooms the joint to premature failure. A spit, cracked loose or torn boot will throw grease, draining the joint of its vital fluids = lubricants. Sooner or later the joint will run out of Lubricant, which is a bad thing for the metal-to-metal surfaces. They must withstand height pressure loads and constant friction. A boot that doesn’t seal can also allow outside contaminants, such as road splash and dirt, to enter the joint and havoc havoc on its precision machined and polished surfaces. If the boot problem isn’t discovered almost immediately, joint failure will usually follow within a few thousand miles.

Some symptoms of CV Joint failure:

1) Popping or clicking noises when turning.2) A clunk sound when accelerating, decelerating or when putting the car into drive.3) A vibration or shudder when accelerating. 4) A growling or humming noise.
