ACC UK Ltd, Winners of The Independent Garage of the Year 2015, Servicing, Repair & MOT Specialists based in the heart of Farnborough, Hampshire like
to give you hints and tips on maintaining your Volvo or Toyota to help reduce breakdowns and expensive car repair bills.
The blog this week is about what does the Check Engine Light mean, if it comes on, on the dashboard of your Volvo or Toyota?
Nowadays every new car now comes with On Board Diagnostics. On Board Diagnostics is a system that registers faults within your Volvo or Toyota connected through sensors all over your Volvo
or Toyota, the engine and fuel and emissions systems. There are thousands of codes so the only way to pinpoint exactly what the problem is, is to take
it to your local independent garage and get them to hook it up to their diagnostic kit like Vida for example to identify the fault code and action
the problem. Once the problem has been identified the garage will advise you on how to remedy the problem. They can also then clear down the fault
codes and reset the system. The thing to do is not panic or ignore it. Quite often than not it can be something so very minor and inexpensive. Do not
carry on driving ignoring the light hoping it will go away – modern cars nowadays are ultra sensitive – so get it checked out ASAP at your local independent
garage. Ignoring warning lights could lead to expensive repair bills – better to be safe than sorry. Of course getting your Volvo or Toyota regularly
serviced and maintained will help maintain the health of the engine.
