Sterling Tire & Auto Fuel Saving Tip for Sterling Heights: Check Engine Light
August 26, 2014
Here's a question for Sterling Heights, Michigan auto owners: How long have you been enjoying the romantic glow of your check engine light?
Hey, it's not there to create ambiance; it's a warning that something's wrong. (And, by the way, Homer Simpson's fix of covering it with tape is not a good idea.)
If your check engine light comes on, check your gas cap. A loose gas cap can cause a false sensor reading that'll make the check engine light turn on.
Many conditions that trigger the check engine light can hurt your fuel efficiency. A lot.
If your date's eyes are smoldering in the soft glow of the check engine light, try to think of all the gas money you'll save by getting it fixed. Give Sterling Tire & Auto a call when you are ready: 586-264-7775
