Drivers often refer to the Check Engine Light as “Throw the engine.” And to be honest, there is a kernel of truth in that. Such an indicator on the instrument panel lights up when problems occur with the engine or an important system of the car. But it also happens that the lamp flashes or goes out completely after a while. Portal “AutoVzglyad” explains what to think and where to look.
If the “check” starts flashing, this may indicate problems with the ignition of the fuel-air mixture in one or more cylinders. In this case, the driver will not feel any vibrations or other problems. However, if you do not pay attention to the signal, problems will arise later. Flashing may cause “body” gasoline or refuel with the 92nd instead of the 95th. By the way, now many manufacturers, including Chinese, allow the use of the 92nd in supercharged engines. There is no need to save and follow the lead of marketers. In this case, the engine will explode: a fatal phenomenon for that. Immediately, of course, the engine will not fall apart, but regular attempts to save money will lead to problems.
If the “tick” lights up and goes off after a few seconds, then this also says a lot. Here the problem may be in the wrong operation of one spark plug, ignition coil or nozzle. Such problems arise, for example, after artisanal maintenance. The fact is that with a number of engines replacing candles is quite difficult. Three candles are easily interchangeable, and the fourth is closed by a huge air duct that must be dismantled. Therefore, unlucky masters change three candles and do not touch the fourth so as not to do additional work. Here she begins to writhe.
Errors related to the installation of the catalytic converter are not excluded. For example, when the driver first cut it out and then wanted to put it back. There are many reasons for such a decision. For example, the owner is not very happy that the thrust of the engine has increased very little, or there was a stench and jingle in motion, although a flame arrester was installed. Because of this, “light music” starts with a “check”. This is due to the fact that during the restoration of the catalytic converter, the wiring was routed incorrectly or the lambda probe began to “fail”.
Finally, we note that to read the codes for all these errors, you need a scanner and experienced professionals who can accurately spot the problem. After all, it is possible to only visually determine that the wiring has been laid incorrectly, and this requires the dismantling of many parts. Such work is expensive.
