Generally, panic erupts when any warning light indicator illuminates, especially when it’s the check engine light. While the light doesn’t always reflect a large mechanical problem, it’s still wise to always get your vehicle checked out as it could be an indication of a misfiring engine. Most cases end with drivers scheduling service at our service center in Nanuet, New York.

What Is The Malfunction Indicator Lamp?

A malfunction indicator lamp (the check engine light) is an engine management system that warns drivers of malfunctioning parts. This warning is often indicative of a large issue brewing beneath the hood of the car, but can also sometimes signal to something as simple as a loose gas cap.

Generally, the light features two stages:

  • Steady (indicating a minor issue)
  • Flashing (indicating a severe issue)

Regardless if you need a major or minor repair, our Honda service team will be here for you. We offer a wide selection of genuine parts for sale, premium service specials, and flexible scheduling options. The next time your check engine light comes on, don’t freak out; call us!
