What causes a check engine light to come on in a Kia Rio?

I noticed that my check engine light has turned on in my Kia Rio. What could be causing this issue and how should I address it?

The check engine light could be indicating a variety of issues, such as a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensor, or engine misfire. It is important to get the vehicle diagnosed by a mechanic to determine the exact cause and prevent further damage. If the light is flashing, it could indicate a more serious problem and the car should not be driven.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Rio and it turned out to be a faulty catalytic converter. It's important to get the vehicle checked as soon as possible to prevent any potential damage to the engine.

It's always a good idea to stop by an auto parts store to have your check engine light scanned for free. This will give you a better idea of the potential issue before taking it to a mechanic.
