Traction and Check Engine Light On Simultaneously

The Problem

The vehicle owner noticed that both the traction control and check engine lights were illuminated.

What We Found

The technician identified that the Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid required replacement.

The Fix

The technician removed and replaced the timing control valve solenoid and the VVT solenoid, ensuring all necessary gaskets were also replaced. Additionally, a BG complete coolant system flush was performed to maintain the engine's cooling efficiency.

The Result

After the repairs, the vehicle's warning lights were no longer illuminated, and it was running smoothly.

Pro Tip

Keeping your engine oil clean is crucial for the longevity of your VVT solenoid. Regular oil changes help prevent premature failure and costly repairs.

Why Is My Car Going Into Limp Mode?

The Problem

The vehicle owner reported that their car was going into limp mode and the check engine light was on.

What We Found

The technician determined that the throttle body unit was malfunctioning, causing the vehicle to enter limp mode.

The Fix

The team at our Frostproof shop removed and replaced the faulty throttle body unit along with its gasket. They ensured all components were properly installed and performed a final road test to verify the repair.

The Result

After the repair, the vehicle no longer went into limp mode, and the check engine light was cleared.

Pro Tip

If your car goes into limp mode, it often indicates an issue with the throttle body. Addressing it promptly can prevent more severe engine problems and save on costly repairs.

Reviews

What Frostproof customers say about our check engine light work

They got me in the next day after my check engine light came on and just from the description knew what was going on (confirmed with the diagnostic). They got the parts within minutes and had me fixed up within an hour and a half. I’m so happy with the service I received, their kindness and the cleanliness of the facility.

FAQ

Check Engine Light in Frostproof: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Frostproof.

Can I keep driving with the check engine light on?

If the light is steady and the car drives normally, yes, get it scheduled rather than parking it. If it's flashing, if the car is running rough, or if a temperature or oil light is on with it, that's the moment to stop driving it. When you're unsure, call the shop and describe what it's doing.

Isn't a free code scan the same as a diagnosis?

A scan reads the stored number, which is a useful first clue and takes a minute. A diagnosis figures out which of the possible causes behind that number is the real one, using live data, testing, and sometimes a road test. That gap is exactly why people replace parts that weren't broken.

Will the light turn off by itself after the repair?

Usually yes, after the car completes its own self checks over a few drive cycles. We clear the codes when the repair is done so it starts fresh, then verify the fault doesn't return. If it comes back, that tells us something too.

Can I just disconnect the battery to reset it?

It will turn the light off and it also erases the freeze frame data we use to find the cause, so it makes diagnosis harder. The light also comes back once the fault repeats.

Can you quote the repair over the phone if I read you the code?

We can tell you what system that code covers and what it usually turns out to be, and we're happy to do that. We won't quote a repair on it, because the same code lands on different parts in different cars. The quote comes after we've tested and know which one you have.
