Can You Still Drive When the Engine Fault Light Comes On?
1 Answers
When the engine fault light comes on, it is recommended to stop driving immediately to protect the engine. Continuing to drive may cause damage to the engine. With the advancement in automotive manufacturing, the engine itself rarely encounters issues. However, there are numerous sensors and electronic devices around the engine, along with critical components. If any of these malfunction, it may lead to the engine not functioning properly, triggering the engine fault light. The engine is surrounded by various sensors, such as the coolant temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, intake air temperature sensor, camshaft position sensor, knock sensor, etc. A failure in any one of these sensors can cause the engine to malfunction.
