I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and the engine light turned on while I was driving. What could be the problem and how should I handle it?
ReplyFirst, don't panic. The engine light may indicate a minor issue or it could be a false signal. Check your owner's manual for instructions on how to troubleshoot and reset the light. If the light continues to stay on, it's best to bring your car to a certified mechanic for further diagnosis.
There are many reasons why the engine light could turn on, including a loose gas cap or a faulty sensor. It's important to get it checked out as soon as possible to avoid any potential engine damage. Take your car to a reputable mechanic and explain the situation. They will be able to diagnose the issue and fix it for you.
The engine light can also be triggered by a dirty air filter or spark plugs that need to be replaced. If you haven't had your car serviced in a while, this could be the culprit. Schedule a maintenance appointment and have the technician check these components and replace them if necessary.
