Don't Panic

If your check engine light comes on while driving, the first thing to do is stay calm. In most cases, it's not an emergency situation. Safely pull over, turn off the engine, and assess any other symptoms like unusual noises, smells, or performance issues.

Check For Simple Causes

Sometimes, a check engine light can be triggered by simple things like a loose gas cap. If you've recently filled up, check that the gas cap is securely tightened. Other easily fixable causes can include a low oil level or old engine oil in need of changing.

Use an OBD-II Code Reader

Many auto parts stores will let you use an OBD-II code reader for free to get more information on what triggered the check engine light. The code can point you in the right direction, but diagnosing and fixing the issue may require a professional mechanic.
