What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?

I have a Vauxhall Corsa and the Check Engine light has come on. What does this mean and should I be worried?

The Check Engine light can indicate a number of issues, from a loose gas cap to a more serious engine problem. It's always best to get it checked out by a mechanic to be sure. In the meantime, make sure your gas cap is tight and check your engine's oil levels.

The Check Engine light can sometimes come on as a false alarm, but it's always better to err on the side of caution and get it checked out. You never know when it could be a serious issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Do not ignore the Check Engine light, even if your car seems to be running fine. The issue could be something small that can be quickly fixed, preventing it from turning into a bigger and more expensive problem down the road.
