What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Start with the simple checks: ensure the gas cap is tightened properly — a loose cap is a common trigger and easy to fix.
• Check for obvious signs: low oil, overheating, unusual noises, or smoke — if present, stop driving and contact us immediately.
• If no obvious cause, schedule a diagnostic so our technicians can read stored trouble codes and assess any stored or pending faults.
• For warranty-related faults, repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to protect your coverage and long-term value.
