Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes, the system resets itself when a minor fault temporarily resolves. However, the issue could still be active or returning. It’s smart to have it scanned before problems grow.

No. In most cases, your vehicle will automatically fail emissions testing if the light is on or if the system hasn’t completed a drive cycle after a reset. Diagnosis is essential.

It depends. A solid light usually means the issue is non-urgent but important. A flashing light means misfires or engine damage may be occurring. In both cases, get diagnostics quickly.
