Why is my Kia Soul dashboard showing a check engine light?

I recently got into my Kia Soul and noticed that the check engine light was on. Can somebody advise me on what could cause this and how I can fix it?

The check engine light could be indicating an issue with the car's emissions system. Depending on the year and model, there could be various reasons for this. It's best to take your car to a mechanic or dealership to get a diagnostic test done and see what error codes are showing up.

It could be a simple issue like a loose gas cap. Try tightening it and see if that makes the light go off. If it doesn't, then it's best to get a diagnostic test done to determine the cause.

I had the same issue with my Kia Soul and it turned out to be a faulty sensor. Check with your mechanic to see if this could be the case for your car.
