Frequently asked questions
What does a check engine light mean?
It signals a stored fault code from the engine management system. Causes range from a loose fuel cap to a failing catalytic converter, so a scan is the only way to know.
Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?
A steady light usually permits short trips. A flashing light indicates a misfire that can destroy the catalytic converter, so stop driving and call a shop.
Can I just get the codes read for free?
Parts stores often read codes at no charge, but a code is not a diagnosis. A shop tests the circuit to identify which component actually failed.
How much does a diagnostic scan cost in Alberta?
Most shops charge for diagnostic time and many credit it toward the repair. Contact shops directly, since GarageMap does not list prices.
