When your vehicle's computer recognizes a problem, it lets you know by turning on the check engine light or flashes the OD off light or turns on other malfunction indicator lights. When this occurs it is important to have it checked right away, some problems are minor in nature and easily rectified. One example might be when you forget to install the gas cap or don't tighten it completely, it will turn on the check engine light. A quick scan, tighten the cap and clear the code fixes this example.
