Check Engine Light Diagnostics in Downey, CA

Is your check engine light illuminated on your vehicle's dashboard? The check engine light lets you know something is amiss related to your vehicle's engine or emissions system. At Velasco Autocare Center, we offer comprehensive check engine light diagnostics to identify and resolve the underlying issue.

The check engine light is connected to the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II), which continuously monitors components and systems of your vehicle. When a problem is detected, the OBD-II system generates a trouble code, which triggers the illumination of the check engine light.

The trouble code provides information on what isn't performing to standard but not what is causing it to underperform, which can be the result of more than one culprit. This is where the expertise of a trained technician is beneficial. Our skilled technicians have the knowledge and diagnostic tools to interpret these trouble codes and pinpoint the specific cause.

During the check engine light diagnostics at Velasco Autocare Center, our technicians will retrieve the trouble codes and inspect the different areas of your vehicle that might be behind this issue. This could involve checking the engine's sensors, electrical connections, emission systems, and other areas.
