In the days gone by, you would watch as your grandfather would listen, wiggle, and wrench his vehicle back to life. Although this is still a good method to diagnose mechanical issues, in the modern era, we also have the check engine light codes to help us out. An essential component in any diagnostic process, […]
Vehicles have been packed full of all kinds of sensors for decades now. Modern cars can barely operate without the complex network of sensors and electronics that run all the main and auxiliary systems. However, all those benefits come at a cost. Complex systems mean that there are more components that can fail. The P0154 […]
Dealing with a check engine light is never a fun ordeal. That little icon on the dashboard going off is often enough to ruin someone’s day, month, or even a year. There are different tiers of error codes that can trigger a CEL. Some are severe and should be addressed as soon as possible, others […]
