What You Need to Know About Your BMW Check Engine Light

The check engine light is a valuable tool that’s used to warn of a problem or repair needed on your BMW. While you may already know this illuminated light is an indication of an issue with your BMW, you may not realize the specific issue that’s causing the light to turn on. At Autopotenza LLC., we have specific diagnostic tools that can provide us with all the information we need to properly fix your BMW. Our certified mechanics can walk you through the process so you know exactly how we service vehicles with vivid and bright check engine lights.

What a Check Engine Light Means

When you notice that bright check engine light shining on your dashboard, that’s a clear sign that the onboard diagnostic system, or OBD, has discovered a malfunction within the vehicle. The defect could be located in any part of your BMW, such as the ignition, fuel system, or exhaust system. 

Issues that Cause a Glowing Check Engine Light

There are several items that can trigger a check engine light to turn on, including:

• faulty spark plugs and wiring.
• bulging or cracked hoses.
• catalytic converter problems.
• faulty oxygen or air flow sensors.
• a loose gas cap.
• emission control malfunctions.
