The check engine light can be triggered by a number of different reasons. Inside your vehicle is a very complex computer system that connects to many different sensors associated with a variety of components. When a part stops working properly or has failed altogether, the sensor connected to that part will detect the problem and will then send a signal to your vehicle’s computer system. Once the computer system sees this signal, your check engine light will turn on.
