Land Rover Albuquerque welcomes you to discover why your Land Rover check engine light is illuminated.
The check engine light warns drivers of possible engine problems or total failure. There are several reasons your vehicle’s check engine warning light may turn on. It may be anything from a simple sensor failure, an alert to perform preventive maintenance (such as an oil change), or even warning drivers of potentially significant issues that might cause engine failure. So, even if the check engine warning light turns on, it may not be a total disaster. However, if your check engine warning light does come on, we suggest bringing it to us for a thorough diagnostic inspection as soon as possible. Even if nothing feels broken, getting it inspected can be the difference between needing to replace the engine and a simple fix.
Something as silly as forgetting to replace your gas cap or not tightening it correctly can cause a check engine light. A vehicle’s gas cap may need to be replaced during your ownership. After 50k miles, you may want to replace the gas cap. We recommend genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer if it’s time to replace your gas cap. Parts from DIY stores will work in a pinch, but nothing is better than OEM parts.
There are many sensors that provide info to the engine to help it run efficiently. However, missing readings from components like the MAF sensor or the oxygen sensors can cause a check engine light to come on. If your car seems normal, a faulty oxygen sensor is the likely culprit. This may mean the vehicle is fine, but since the engine isn’t getting the info, it triggers a warning. Even if your vehicle feels unaffected, you should probably get your car diagnosed ASAP to rule out any potential more serious problems.
Spark plugs are essential to the efficiency of your car’s engine. As the name implies, spark plugs provide a tiny spark of electricity that ignites the gas and causes your engine to run. Spark plugs require precise measurements for peak performance, and if the spark plug configuration is incorrect, it could possibly cause a check engine light. Some symptoms of faulty spark plugs include lower MPG rates, less engine power, and your engine just will not run smoothly.
