Your hybrid vehicle deserves a specialty car for each service it receives, even down to check engine light diagnostics and repair. If your light has recently been triggered, there’s no time to waste because the issue might actually be serious. You shouldn’t feel comfortable with your hybrid check engine light being on. However, you can be comfortable knowing that you have the engineers at N Seal Auto Garage who are trained, equipped, and willing to help you at any moment.
Why Is Your Hybrid Check Engine Light On?
When your check engine light {light malfunction indicator light (MIL)} illuminates, it can mean a variety of different things. Beginning with the most simple issue, if your light is on you should check your gas cap. A loose/broken gas cap will allow air to flow into your gas tank, which sets off a warning light. You can tighten the gas cap until you hear a click, otherwise, just buy a new gas cap.
You can also check your spark plugs and see if any of them are broken or dirty. Spark plugs can also be fixed at home. However, if that’s a little out of your skill range we are always happy to help you. If these simple fixes don’t seem to work, wait no more, bring your hybrid into our garage for immediate attention. Or else, contact us immediately as your issue is probably something more serious.
You Need a Hybrid Engineer You Can Trust
Your hybrid check engine light diagnosis shouldn’t be serviced by just any mechanic. You need to take your vehicle to someone who is specialized and experienced working with hybrid cars so that your issue is diagnosed and fixed the first time. It’s not rare for hybrid car owners to take their vehicle into a shop for a repair just to find themselves having the same issue as soon as a week later, ending up right back in the shop again. At N Seal Auto Garage, we want to avoid this at all costs. We know you have better things to do than sit waiting for a repair to be completed that should have been fixed the first time.
