What does the engine warning light mean?

The engine warning light, also known as the check engine light, is a warning indicator that appears on the dashboard of your Vauxhall Corsa. It indicates that there is a problem with your engine that needs to be addressed. It could be a minor issue, but it could also be a serious problem that requires immediate attention.

When the engine warning light comes on, it is important to get it checked out by a professional mechanic as soon as possible. The issue could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or a faulty sensor, but it could also be something more serious like a malfunctioning engine. It's better to be safe than sorry and get it checked out right away.

If the engine warning light is flashing, it means there is a serious problem with your engine and you should stop driving immediately. It is likely that there is a major issue such as a misfire or engine failure. It's best to have your car towed to a mechanic to avoid causing further damage.

In some cases, the engine warning light may come on due to a loose or faulty gas cap. Before taking your car to a mechanic, try tightening the gas cap and see if the light goes off. If it does, then the issue has been resolved and there is no need for further action.
