Why Does the Check Engine Light Illuminate in Your Audi
Most vehicles since the 1990s have been designed and engineered to detect their own malfunctions as well as alert the driver of such issues.
Your Audi’s check-engine light illuminates when there is a related system issue occurring and affecting your car’s performance.
Here, we’ll go over some basic information about your check-engine light, including:* What the check-engine light means
* How to diagnose problems * Common issues associated with an illuminated check-engine light * What you can do to keep your Audi in proper working condition
What your check-engine light is telling you
Your Audi’s check-engine light serves as a warning system to the driver that something isn’t quite right with its functionality.
An illuminated check-engine light emits a code that indicates the specific part or area of the vehicle encountering a malfunction.
Many drivers equip themselves with their own diagnostic scanners in order to locate the origin of the issue.
However, any time the check engine light comes on it’s best to have an Audi specialist check out your vehicle to ensure your safety.
These are the top 5 related issues that usually cause the check-engine light to come on
Spark plug failure or wear
It is essential that your Audi’s spark plugs remain in constant function, otherwise, you could encounter engine misfiring or other issues while driving.
Catalytic converter issues
If your catalytic converter fails, your Audi will be unable to convert the harmful gases created by your engine into milder compounds and leads to failed emissions testing.
Oxygen sensor failure or malfunction
The engine also requires the proper amount of oxygen and the oxygen sensor determines if your engine is receiving the proper amount of oxygen for combustion.
MAF or mass airflow sensor
Without a working MAF sensor, your engine doesn’t know how to adequately adjust fuel and oxygen ratios for optimal performance.
Basic fuel system error
The most common and simple fuel system error that causes the check-engine light to come on is a loose or ill-fitting gas cap.
Your Audi’s check-engine light commonly indicates that there is a problem with a primary area of your car’s functioning & need to be followed up.
