A check engine light usually indicates that the onboard diagnostics check has discovered an improperly working component that must be taken care of immediately to avoid permanent damage to your system. Ignore it at your peril. In late model cars, the check engine light behaves differently depending on the severity of the problem. If your check engine light starts blinking or turns red, the issue is so critical that immediate attention is needed. A steadily illuminated check engine light indicates a non emergency that should be checked out as soon as possible.
