The dashboard indicator lights are your warning system that something in your vehicle is not working correctly or requires service.

In 1996, an orange light on your car’s dashboard that is labeled “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” became standard on all car makes and models. This light tells you there’s a problem with your car’s engine and powertrain control system.

If one of your dashboard indicator lights is illuminated then schedule an appointment with an Active Green + Ross Complete Tire & Auto Centre to get it checked out.
