More often than not, one of the more inconvenient and dreading signs we experience when driving is the illumination of the check engine light. Check engine lights often provide little to no reasoning as to why it is turned on, so naturally, we become worried (and sometimes upset) about this issue.
The issues your Chevy Silverado may face that cause the check engine light to turn on include:
- FAULTY OXYGEN SENSOR
- LOOSE GAS CAP
- FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER
- FAULTY IGNITION COIL
- BAD SPARK PLUG
- BAD MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
- NON-COMPATIBLE AFTERMARKET ALARM
- LEAKY VACUUM HOSES ON EVAP SYSTEM
- FAULTY EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE
- BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
Fortunately for you, our service center here at Gunn Chevrolet is not only able to reset your check engine light, but also provide detailed information to educate you on check engine lights in your vehicle.
What Is The Difference Between a Flashing and Solid Check Engine Light?
Schedule Service Near San Antonio
There are two different ways the check engine light can come on in your Chevrolet Silverado: solid or flashing, and they have two different purposes. A solid check engine light may have multiple reasons for its illumination (as noted above). A flashing check engine light is more concerning. A flashing light will pop up on your dashboard display when your engine misfires. This means that the engine is dumping unburned fuel into your vehicle’s exhaust system.
Immediate attention and service are required.
