What should I do if my Kia Rio's check engine light is on?

I noticed that the check engine light on my Kia Rio turned on. What could be causing this and what should I do?

The check engine light can indicate a variety of issues, including a loose gas cap or a problem with the engine. The best thing to do is to have a mechanic run a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact issue.

If the check engine light is flashing, it is a sign of a more serious problem that requires immediate attention. Pull over and call for a tow to avoid further damage to your vehicle.

If the light comes and goes, it could be a temporary issue or a faulty sensor. Using a diagnostic tool, you can clear the code and see if the light turns on again. If it does, then it's best to have a professional look into it.
