• A check engine light signals the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an emissions, engine, or transmission abnormality; it’s a request to inspect, not always an emergency.

• At our Danvers service center we use factory-grade scanners to read precise codes and recommend repairs that reduce ongoing costs and protect resale value.
