If your car is running normal- don't sweat it. It's probably a lazy engine sensor. A sensor that may have no more influence on your vehicle's performance than your appendix or gall bladder does to you. But when that little yellow light icon lights up your dash, just about everyone fears a wallet emptying event. That same light won't tell you if your car is out of oil, overheating or if the alternator has quit, but it must be important- right? Two fears quickly arise: 1. Am I going to make it home? 2. How much is it going to cost me? The unknown is the biggest fear. I try to explain it like this. Most cars have 10-15 sensors in and around the vehicle's engine, and they kind of work like the hospital patient with all those round white pads stuck to them with wires attached, feeding information back to a monitor. Similarly, the vehicle sensors feed information back to the main computer that monitors the information. If a sensor didn't feel like performing to its maximum on any given day, ON comes the unforgiving light. Don't get me wrong, checking to see why the light is on is a good thing to do, but, if the car is running normal, wait until your next oil change and have it scanned. It shouldn't be any more painful than having a bulb changed. There are 2 to 4 main sensors that, if defective, will have to be changed, but you'll be ready to deal with them because you either crawled to the repair shop pulling on the steering wheel and leaning forward to get the necessary speed to get there or, worse yet, towed in. All other sensors fit what this article was meant for. My wife's Saturn Vue has had its light on since I bought it for her 4 years ago. I scanned it then, saw that it had a lazy $440 EGR valve and left it. It's run 80,000 km since with no problem. If the light went out, THEN she'd think there was a problem. So don't sweat it, get it checked and if you'd like to use the repair money elsewhere, put a picture of someone special in front of that daunting little icon. CALL
