The Dreaded Check Engine Light

What to Do When Your CEL Illuminates

Chances are you’ve seen the dreaded check engine light on your dashboard. The CEL is designed to alert you to a problem in your vehicle’s powertrain system. It can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a major issue with the engine or transmission. At Mad Hatter Auto Repair in Council Bluffs, IA, we specialize in check engine light diagnostics and repairs. When you bring your vehicle to us, the first step will be finding out what’s causing your check engine light to illuminate.

Diagnosing the Problem

The color of the check engine light—yellow or red—will help you determine what kind of issue you may have. If it’s red, then it means there is a severe problem, and you should pull over as soon as possible; if it’s yellow, then it means there is a problem, but it may not be an emergency situation. When you bring your car into Mad Hatter Auto Repair in Council Bluffs, IA, our ASE Master Certified technicians will diagnose the problem by hooking up a specialized diagnostic computer for your vehicle. This computer will read any codes stored in your car’s computer system, which can give our techs a better idea of what might be going on with your vehicle.
