What To Know About CEL
Even though Florida doesn’t require annual emissions testing, the check engine light results from federal regulations to limit the amount of harmful emissions related to transportation. All new vehicles sold in the United States since 1996 must be equipped with the second-generation OBD-II system. It lets us connect computerized equipment to your vehicle and generate a universal trouble code. This is exactly what it sounds like. The code is common across all brands rather than unique to certain manufacturers, as was the first generation. It points our mechanics in the right direction, but we still must use our knowledge and skills to pinpoint the exact problem. Although there are several underlying triggers for the MIL, some are more common than others. The simplest is a loose gas cap. This breaks the sealed fuel system. Another frequently seen issue is a bad sensor. This includes the oxygen sensor that burns, which measures the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust, and the mass airflow sensor that checks for the amount of air coming in that can be used for combustion in the engine. Finally, the problem may be as severe as an ailing catalytic converter, the component that reduces toxins before releasing the exhaust into the air. In addition to federal requirements, remember that Florida calls for drivers to keep their vehicles’ exhaust systems in continuous and proper working order.
