TALKING CARS

 LISTENING TO YOUR CAR

We all know how important our cars are, in fact most of the times it's an integral part of our family and business,.
The good thing in this time and age is that our vehicles are developing so fast into a fully computerised robot for our convenience.
Thus I'm going to bring your notice to some important informations your cars passes across to you and how to decode them to your advantage to save your dear life and money.

Check engine light


That orange/yellow engine symbol light (In some cars a spanner sign or Service Engine Soon message)  on your dashboard is usually trying to pass an important info across to you while you are busy concentrating on other things on the road.
The light isn't there for decoration like some people believe but it comes on to tell you about new developments that might pose a treat to your Engine and safety.
Therefore these 3 reasons why you need to hear from it whenever it comes up.

1) It might be come as God sent to save you some unnecessary repair cost E.g in some cases of a car's excessive fuel consumption. While your roadside mechanic is busy guess-searching for and changing what is not missing. Whereas your vehicle computer has already released an info on the problem to be an easy and quick fix such as a loose fuel cap or evap leak or a loosely connected sensor.

2) The vehicle computer through it's sensors, is always monitoring your engine's performance to prevent it from knock, wear and tear and the informant it sends to you is the Check light thus for the love of your car you should at least listen to its heart beat.

3) It will help you make the best choice of that Tokunbo car you want to buy from that dealer or friend. Getting used car from dealers have gone beyond judging from the interior and exterior or just taking a visual inspection of engine and chassis cuz dealers are getting smarter in masking the fault.
But your secret weapon lies in the the yellow light.
So Instead of just paying your mechanic for just laying down and conniving with the dealer to rip you off,  why not go with a scanner or an experienced technician to help you read and interpret the pre registered faults on the car. Trust me this will cost you less money and stress.
In this case, even if the dealer is smart enough to erase the fault before you come for your inspection (which they rarely do), your experienced technician will bring the fault all back out with just few tricks within a minute.

In conclusion you need to start taking this check engine light serious because cars are no longer what they use to be in the 60's and ain't going back to it.
We now drive computers on wheels and it takes a computer and programmer to decode a computer's message.
Thus the need to conduct a diagnostic scan on your vehicle whenever your yellow light comes on.

On a lighter note, I still can't help but laugh sometimes when I bring people's notice to the check engine light on their dashboard while driving with them and they reply me with words like oh that was the way I bought the car so it's nothing. Well it's a lot.
