What Is the Check
Engine Light?

is an integral part of your
car or truck's on-board
diagnostic (OBD) system.
• OBD monitors your
vehicle's performance
and lets you know if
there is a problem with
your vehicle's engine or
emissions control system.
• Many states now use
OBD technology for
fast, accurate vehicle
inspections.

Check Engine light is illumi-
nated can help you:
• Prevent costly repairs later.

fuel economy.

inspection.
