When the engine check light illuminates on your dashboard, it's a clear indication that there may be underlying issues within your vehicle's engine system. While it's easy to feel overwhelmed or uncertain about the cause, understanding some of the potential problems associated with this warning light can help you address them promptly and effectively.

One common issue that may trigger the engine check light is a cooling system problem, particularly an overheating engine due to a coolant leak. Coolant leaks can occur for various reasons, such as deteriorating hoses, a faulty radiator, or a damaged water pump. If left unchecked, these leaks can lead to engine overheating, which can cause severe damage and even engine failure if not addressed promptly.

Another potential issue related to the engine check light is the malfunction of the radiator fans. Radiator fans play a critical role in regulating engine temperature by cooling the radiator and dissipating heat. If the radiator fans fail to cycle on and off as they should, it can result in inadequate cooling and engine overheating. This malfunction can be caused by faulty fan motors, relays, or temperature sensors.

Addressing these potential problems associated with the engine check light requires prompt diagnosis and repair by a skilled technician.
