An Illuminated Check Engine Light It’s almost impossible to physically detect an EVAP leak. So when the leak detection pump in the exhaust system suspects a small EVAP leak event, it immediately turns the Check Engine Light on. You may also notice a fuel smell from the engine due to the leaking gas vapors.

If the camshaft position sensor in your car malfunctions, it can disrupt the vehicle’s fuel injection and ignition timing by sending inaccurate or delayed signals to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). Note: The check engine light can also illuminate due to a bad crankshaft position sensor or other faulty components.

Check for these bad O2 sensor symptoms. Lit check engine light (CEL): A faulty O2 sensor is one of the most common reasons behind an illuminated CEL. This lit warning light may be because the bad sensor (upstream sensor) relays inaccurate readings to the Powertrain Control Module or shows a low oxygen level.

Some misfire complaints are a flashing check engine light, and a P0300 to P0312 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that one or more cylinders are misfiring. Unfortunately, a misfire also will cause a considerable increase in hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, which can cause a vehicle to fail an emissions test.

This imbalance hinders the engine’s ability to achieve proper combustion, making it challenging to start the car. Failed Emissions Test Incomplete combustion can result in higher levels of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the exhaust. These increased pollutants can lead to a failed emissions test.
