Engine Management

What do I do if my engine management light comes on?

The engine management light may come on when you turn on the ignition but should then immediately go back off. It’s connected to your car’s engine control unit (ECU) and is often the first indicator that there’s a problem in one of the many systems within the car.

If the engine management light doesn’t go off, the only thing you can really do to find out what the problem is, is to come into SMC Garage. We have state of the art equipment at our workshop in Shiremoor, which connects to your car’s ECU and helps us to pinpoint exactly what the problem is, that way we can get it sorted for you quickly, and accurately. Once the fault has been repaired, we reset the ECU so that the engine management light goes off.

When your vehicle is with SMC Garage, we want you to have peace of mind that it’s in safe hands. That’s why we work closely with and are affiliated with the Good Garage Scheme, Approved Garages and the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency. We’re proud to meet, and often surpass, the standards set by these organisations and leave you safe in the knowledge that your vehicle is in the hands of the experts.
