About Diagnostics and Repair

Common questions and tips from our work with Manhattan customers.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on?
The check engine light means the engine computer has stored a trouble code. Causes range from a loose gas cap or a failing sensor to misfires, vacuum leaks or emissions problems. A flashing light usually points to a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter, so stop driving and get the truck looked at. A scan tool reads the code, and testing confirms the actual cause.
Is a code reader enough to diagnose a problem?
A code reader tells you which system flagged a fault, but not always which part failed. One code can have several causes, such as wiring, a sensor or a mechanical issue. Proper diagnostics combine the code with live data, visual checks and testing of the suspect parts. That extra step helps you avoid paying for parts that were never the problem.

Tip

Note the Symptoms Before You Call

Before bringing a truck in, write down what you noticed. When did the problem start? Does it happen cold or warm, at certain speeds, under load or while towing? Were there any warning lights, noises or smells? Ask the driver too. Those details help narrow down a diagnosis and save time chasing a problem that comes and goes.
