Check Emergency Light Came On - Pls Advise by transfer101: 8:28am On Dec 23, 2019 |
Experts, please advise me on what to do and what no to do. My check engine light came on while in transit yesterday. Where it came on is not a place I could stop so I journeyed further for another 2hrs to my destination. During the 2hrs, the car didn't feel different despite the light. Now am planning my return which would require a 7hr drive, can the car survive another 7hrs? If yes, what do I have to do to pamper the car. I'm thinking of limiting my speed to 60km/h (with AC off), contrary to the 140km/h I often do. Pls advise if this is a reasonable risk or I should just invest on bringing my Kazeem down to where I am |

transfer101:my moms 2007 Xterra for over 9years now. Up till now it keeps saying check engine. Which we do every 2-3 months. But the car works fine. But I advise u still take it for servicing and find another way to return back. Its better than risking |

transfer101:Nobody can tell you the specific issue with the car without scanning it. If you can get where to scan the car please do and post the codes for interpretation. Check engine light is just a warning light telling you that something is wrong within your engine. It doesn't signal emergency. The car will not perform optimally but will do just fine. I have traveled over 700km with check engine light on in my car. I knew what brought the light though and could deal with the effect which was increased fuel consumption. |

seanfer:12hrs drive at 90km/h after, the light is still off. I went to see my mechanic today, and he said since it has stayed off after a long period of time, that means it has corrected itself and it was not due to a critical problem. He said such case usually occur when the exhaust pipe get is a serious contact with the road when in motion, or if a plug failed during acceleration. He, however, said I should just let him observe the engine sound tomorrow when it still cold. Should I be worried? P.S. I have used the car for 1yr, and 3mth without doing anything aside from changing oil and oil filter every 3 months. Cc: GAZZUZZ |
