When the check engine light comes on, the first step is finding out why. A warning light can be triggered by many different conditions, from an emissions-related issue to a problem that affects engine performance.
Landmark Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram provides professional diagnostic service to identify the cause and determine the appropriate next step for your vehicle. For broader maintenance and repair needs, visit the Landmark Service Center.
The check engine light is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostic system. It can illuminate when the vehicle detects a condition that needs attention. The light alone does not identify the failed part.
Diagnostic testing helps identify stored fault information and gives technicians a starting point for determining what is actually causing the warning.
A check engine light should not automatically be treated as a major repair, but it should not be ignored either. Pay attention to how the vehicle is operating when the light appears.
Our technicians use diagnostic equipment and vehicle information to investigate the cause of the warning and determine what additional inspection or repair may be necessary.
Retrieve available diagnostic information and fault codes to help identify where troubleshooting should begin.
Evaluate the vehicle's symptoms and diagnostic information rather than relying on the warning light alone.
Investigate rough running, hesitation, reduced performance and other concerns that may accompany a check engine light.
Inspect potential emissions-related causes when diagnostic information indicates that area requires further evaluation.
Evaluate sensors, wiring, electrical signals and related components when indicated by the vehicle's diagnostic information.
Once the cause has been identified, our service team can explain the recommended repair and next steps.
A diagnostic trouble code does not always mean that the component named by the code is the part that needs to be replaced. The code is a clue that helps guide the diagnostic process.
Proper diagnosis considers the code, vehicle symptoms, operating conditions, wiring, sensors and related systems before a repair recommendation is made.
Landmark service technicians can diagnose check engine light concerns on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles. Diagnostic procedures are based on the specific vehicle, its systems, symptoms and available diagnostic information.

It depends on how the vehicle is operating and what the warning indicates. If the vehicle is running poorly, losing power, or displaying additional warning signs, have it inspected promptly. A diagnostic inspection can determine what is happening.
A diagnostic test retrieves available vehicle fault information and helps technicians determine where further testing should begin. Additional diagnosis may be needed to identify the actual cause.
Not necessarily. A diagnostic trouble code is generally a clue that points technicians toward a system or condition that needs further evaluation. Proper testing helps determine the actual cause.
Some conditions can trigger a warning without immediately causing noticeable driveability changes. The vehicle should still be inspected so the cause can be identified.
