Check Engine Light

Check engine light on? Don't ignore it. Using advanced OBD-II diagnostic tools, we quickly read and decode error codes to pinpoint exactly what's wrong — saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.

From sensor failures and emissions issues to engine misfires, we diagnose the root cause accurately and provide clear, honest solutions to get your vehicle running right.

Check Engine Light in New Westminster

That amber check-engine warning could flag something as minor as a loose fuel cap or as serious as a deteriorating catalytic converter. Putting it off often turns a small fix into a major bill. At Tire Point Automotive in New Westminster, our factory-grade OBD-II scanners pull every stored trouble code from your vehicle's ECU — covering the powertrain, gearbox, ABS, and emissions modules.

We go beyond reading codes and clearing the light. Each fault is traced to a root cause through live data streams, freeze-frame readings, and physical component testing. Common issues we diagnose daily include rough idles from fouled spark plugs, oxygen-sensor drift causing poor fuel economy, EVAP leaks triggering persistent codes, and mass-airflow sensor contamination.

Once we identify the problem, we explain the repair in plain language, quote a fixed price, and only proceed with your approval. Most diagnostic scans take 30 to 60 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for the check engine light?

The most common trigger is a loose or worn gas cap, followed by oxygen-sensor failures and catalytic-converter deterioration. At Tire Point Automotive in New Westminster we run a full OBD-II scan to pinpoint the exact code rather than guessing.

How to fix a check engine light?

Start by bringing your vehicle to a qualified shop for a diagnostic scan. The scanner reads the fault code stored in your ECU, which tells the technician exactly which system triggered the warning. Our New Westminster shop uses factory-grade scanners that cover all major modules.

Can I drive with the check engine light on?

A steady amber light usually means you can drive cautiously to a shop. A flashing check-engine light indicates a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter — pull over safely and call for a tow. Either way, prompt diagnosis at Tire Point Automotive saves money long-term.
