What to do when your check engine light comes on and flashes<\/h3>\n

Petrol and diesel drivers are in serious trouble if one car button light flashes on a dashboard, according to leading mechanic Scotty Kilmer.<\/p>\n

He warned motorists are likely to have a \u201cbig\u201d problem if the check engine light is continually flashing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Kilmer has stressed this indicates the vehicle has an issue which could destroy a catalytic converter which could lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n

Speaking on YouTube, Scotty said: \u201cToday I’m going to show you what it means if your check engine light is flashing on and off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen your check engine light comes on that means there\u2019s a trouble code stored in the computer and that there\u2019s a problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But, these problems can be big or little. When they flash on and off it means they’re big enough to ruin your catalytic converter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if your check engine light is flashing on and off it\u2019s a good idea to have it canned and fix the problem and then pray it’s something simple like a misfire from a bad ignition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts at carwow have also warned that a flashing light is not good news for owners.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cA flashing orange light means that there is a problem that could affect how the car drives or handles, such as an engine misfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might be able to feel your car shake, or the engine could suddenly sound different. If this light comes on, you should take your car to be inspected immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
