Why is the check engine light on in my Kia Sorento?

I recently noticed that the check engine light has turned on in my Kia Sorento. I'm not sure what could be causing it and I want to make sure it's not a serious problem. Can anyone offer advice on what I should do?

The check engine light can turn on for a variety of reasons, ranging from something as simple as a loose gas cap to a more serious issue with your engine. It's important to get it checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to determine the cause and prevent any potential damage.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a faulty oxygen sensor. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact problem.

In my experience, the check engine light can also turn on if your car is due for regular maintenance, such as an oil change. Check your owner's manual to see if any routine service is needed and if the light turns off after completing it.
