When your Honda's check engine light illuminates, it's easy to ignore—especially if the vehicle appears to be running smoothly. But that small dashboard icon can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine problem. The longer you delay, the more likely you are to experience poor fuel efficiency, performance issues, or costly engine repairs later on.
At Adams Autoworx in Castro Valley we specialize in diagnosing and fixing check engine light issues for all Honda models, including the Civic, CR-V, Accord, and Pilot. Our ASE-certified technicians use state-of-the-art digital diagnostic tools and extensive Honda-specific experience to pinpoint the problem and fix it right the first time.
Check engine lights are triggered by a wide range of issues. Some of the most common ones we see include faulty oxygen sensors, catalytic converter trouble, ignition coil or spark plug failure, and mass air flow sensor malfunctions. Sometimes you are lucky, and it’s the loose gas cap that triggers the check engine light. At other times, it’s a deeper issue with the engine control module (ECM) or the emissions system, for example problems with the EGR valve.
When you bring your Honda in, we start by scanning the on-board computer to read the trouble codes. Then we inspect related sub-systems to confirm the root cause. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found and what we recommend. Once approved, we make the necessary repairs using OEM quality parts, then test everything thoroughly before your car goes back on the road. All of our work is covered by a 36-month/36,000-mile nationwide warranty.
