Check Engine Light
Transmission Tacoma
Is your check engine light on? We can run diagnostics to figure out the issue. If the light is illuminated solid, it's not signaling an emergency but you should definitely have it looked at as soon as you can. If the light is blinking that usually means there's a severe engine misfire and damage is likely. At this point, we recommend reducing power and not driving your vehicle further. Repairs may be needed and the last thing you want is a roadside breakdown. We offer FREE 24 hour local towing with major repairs. So if you are in the Tacoma, WA area, give us a call to have your vehicle towed to our shop located in Lakewood.
The check engine light is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostics system. When the light is lit up solid, the reason could be any number of things. Because this system is specifically for problems that may have effect the vehicle emissions, a lot of the time the light turns on because of a malfunction with a sensor. When the system finds a problem it cannot adjust, the light is turned on and the computer stores a trouble code in its memory. Every code has a corresponding test procedure; when followed, it will direct us to the problem. After the problem is solved the light should turn off.

It can be frustrating to drivers when a shop doesn't have the ability to accurately read the error codes, usually due to using equipment that's out of date or not make/model specific. Luckily, we keep our shop current with the latest automotive technology, because we know everyone wants the job done right the first time. Some shops will spend hours of labor time playing trial-and-error with your car! If a shop has given you inconsistent diagnosis from your check engine light, bring your vehicle down to A-1 Transmission. Our ASE certified mechanics will find what the others missed and get you back on the road safely in no-time.
It's important not to confuse the check engine light with the service interval light or maintenance reminder. These lights are triggered by mileage, fuel, tire pressure, and other vehicle use measurements. The check engine illumination could mean that your car is getting poor fuel economy or emitting high levels of pollution. Ignoring the warning could result in expensive damage. On the other hand, tightening the gas cap is known to be a quick fix on a vehicle with no other apparent problems. Other common repairs are replacing oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, ignition coils, spark plugs, mass air flow sensors, thermostats, etc. Repair costs range from under $100 to over $1000.
