What Causes the Engine Light on the Car Dashboard to Illuminate?
1 Answers
The illumination of the engine light on the car dashboard is primarily caused by engine malfunctions, including issues with ignition, fuel injection, and air-fuel ratio, which require systematic inspection. There are numerous potential causes for engine malfunctions, such as a damaged oxygen sensor, a faulty catalytic converter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or aged ignition coils. The oxygen sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the vehicle's fuel consumption may suddenly increase. The catalytic converter in cars usually does not fail easily, but if it does, it should be replaced promptly.
