Question: Was when the indicator light check engine turns on a sign there is damage to the engine
Questioner: @ lottu.s
Answer: Indicator light check engine light indicates something is not ‘right’ in the vehicle.
In the latest car, there are many sensors in the engine, transmission and electricity, and the vehicle body.
The sensors will give a signal to the ECU if something is found to be less than normal and the ECU (Engine Control Unit) will prompt the indicator light to flash as a message to the driver of the car.
The number of these sensors can reach hundreds of sensors in today’s cars.
However, please note that the error shown at the time of the scan does not guarantee 100 percent accuracy of the damage, because these sensors can be damaged so that the signal given is not correct, and there are many other components that do not have sensors so they don’t detected damage or even detected as damage in another area.
For older cars that do not yet have OBD features, damage can be detected using a jumper cable that is plugged into a socket that is already available for this purpose, then the engine indicator light will flash, slow and slow and in a certain amount which then needs to be checked in the car service manual. the.
