Can You Continue Driving When the Engine Fault Light Is On?

[LaMarcus]

You should not continue driving when the engine fault light is on. Once the engine fault light illuminates, the vehicle owner can perform the following three checks: 1. First, check whether the engine is running normally, such as whether there is shaking, black smoke emission, or difficulty starting. Try not to restart the engine, as there is a high probability that the engine has a problem; 2. If the engine is running normally and the car can be driven, go to a service station as soon as possible to identify the cause; 3. If the engine is running normally, the owner can try gently plugging in each wiring harness connector, as it may be a loose connection somewhere. Alternatively, repeatedly turning the key to the ON position may help eliminate the issue. The reason for the engine fault light being on is easy to confirm. A service station only needs to connect a portable diagnostic tool to easily read the fault code and obtain fault information for targeted repairs.
