Life happens to all of us in a blink of an eye. One moment we are driving down the road and that little engine light comes on. We say a choice word and just continue not knowing what the problem is. The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) refers to the vehicles self-diagnostic. It is your vehicles way of keeping you safe and sound. In our experience the five most common codes are:

Oxygen Sensor: PO171-P0175

This is one of the most common fault codes found by our ASE-Master Certified Technician. The oxygen sensor monitors how much oxygen makes it into the engine. If the sensor is faulty then your gas mileage will decrease, and your engine could start to stall on you.

Engine Misfire: P0300-P0305

If you experience shaking while idling, this could be the sign of your engine misfiring. This is a common problem that our ASE-Master Certified Mechanic works on every day.

Evaporative System: P0411, P0440, P0442, P0446, P0455

In our experience, a loose gas cap allows more vapors into your fuel causing more air to pass through your engine causing the light to pop on. Your evaporation system consists of vent hoses, a purge valve, a charcoal canister, and a vacuum sensor.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR): P0401

Your EGR regulates your engine's emission of smog-causing nitrous oxides. It helps recirculates your engine exhaust gas into the engine's cylinders.

Catalytic Converters: P0420, P0430

Your Catalytic Converter is the Green of your car. This piece of the vehicle takes the most toxic of exhaust fumes and turns them into less toxic fumes. It can not get contaminated from burning oil or leaking coolant.
