What should I do when my Kia Ceed Check Engine Light is on?

The Check Engine Light (CEL) in your Kia Ceed indicates there could be a problem with your engine or its control system. Ignoring this warning could lead to more serious and expensive issues down the line. It's important to get the CEL checked as soon as possible by a qualified mechanic.

The CEL could be activated by a range of issues, from minor malfunctions to major mechanical problems. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.

A common culprit of the CEL is a loose gas cap. Always double check that the gas cap is tightly closed after refueling. If the CEL persists, head to your mechanic for a check-up.

Don't ignore the CEL, even if your car seems to be running fine. An illuminated CEL could signal an issue with your emission control system, which could lead to higher vehicle emissions and potentially fail an emissions test.
