Find out more here or schedule a check engine light diagnostic service at Bill Jacobs MINI, serving Bolingbrook, Aurora, Wheaton, and Woodridge, Illinois.
The engine control unit, also known as the ECU, is a computer in your MINI. The ECU gets information from various sensors in your vehicle that keep track of emissions and vehicle performance. BASED ON THESE SENSOR READINGS, the ECU may make minor adjustments to ensure the best engine performance. However, a sensor that is not working correctly or sends a signal indicating trouble will trigger the check engine light.
Some of these include problems with the O2 sensor, the thermostat, the mass airflow sensor, the EGR valve, or the spark plugs. Something as simple as a loose gas cap can cause the check engine light to come on. This is why it’s important that you come to a service center like Bill Jacobs MINI for a check engine light diagnostic.
As long as the light is solid, you can keep driving; once you’ve come to your destination, schedule a check engine light diagnostic. If the light is flashing, the engine may be at risk, and you should pull over. Our technicians at Bill Jacobs MINI near Wheaton, Illinois, will hook a code reader up to your MINI and read the code the ECU puts out. They will then inspect the affected part or system to get to the bottom of the issue and repair it or reset it.
