Recently my car's check - engine light came on, I used a car OBDII
port code reader to get the diagnostic - trouble - code (DTC) and then I googled what the DTC meant.
Not exact matches
I'd recommend checking for
codes via the OBD
port (
code readers are cheap these days and handy to have around).
plug it in to the OBD2
port (wherever that happens to be on that vehicle) then ignition on and read the
codes - but one has to navigate the menu system which may depend on the
reader manufacturer...
