Obviously manufacturers could spell out exactly what’s gone wrong on the screen, instead of making you hook up a code reader. In fact many cars have special diagnostic modes that basically already do that, but the info isn’t provided to owners, only dealers and mechanics. I guess if there was a bigger market demand for the feature we probably would see it happen, but since half the time the check engine light goes on it’s because of a loose gas cap, maybe it’s not worth it!
@greyfox78569 yes, I understand that, I have a code reader myself. But with all the tech in vehicles now a days you shouldn't have to need one anymore. Roughly $150 scanner will give you the codes and/or the description. They really can integrate that into the vehicle.
Heck NC was puts cars off the road for the check engine light. Luckily my county came to its senses on this one matter. I had a 96 Mercury Sable I could cut the power to the battery and drive it 70 miles and pull it into the Inspection station get it inspected and the light would come back on leaving the Inspection station. Every year... But I had pulled that engine out and refreshed it too. We had a love affair at that point.... $300 for a set of head gaskets at the time.... Autozone didn't carry them...
All the old chevys have the lights on because of small or large evap leaks. If you don't live in a state that does emissions testing, you just ignore it.
As someone who has a Ford... There are many things I wish a check engine light would come on for but don't. What I mean the solid amber one is to let you know something is wrong before it goes really wrong. Blink amber is a really sign and you should shut your car down and wait for a tow. A red one oh boy better hope you are under warrenty or better start prepping to buy a new car. Also if your car has a check engine light it means its throwing codes. A car throwing codes is way easier to fix than a car that isn't throw code but is still running rough is a whole another level of expensive. Also 90% of this can be fixed by having a OB2 scanner that you just keep in your car, that way you can know if its something that can wait.
Black electric tape covered up the check engine light on my old '91 Ranger. Mechanics wou!d clear it, a few miles down the road it came on again. Nothing wrong with the truck they could find. Bough it used in 1994 and kept it for a few years before trading it in, and never did get that light to stop coming on but it ran fine.
Then there are those poor check engine lights on all the old farm trucks. Just begging that the farmer gets bored of tinkering and takes the truck off life support.

Code 400 speed sensor is the code a Subaru trips if the battery is bad or you need to clean the ground straps. I say that as a warning to those before you buy a OBD scan tool. It is not going to play fair sometimes.

The toyota corolla version of this is just that awkward introverted friend whose always there but never says anything. I can't remember when the light WASN'T on lollll
OBD2 scanners are well worth their price (between $50 and $100 for a good one). You can even clear check engine lights and sometimes see if someone else cleared the light (monitor not ready). By the way, most common check engine light is the evap purge valve for the fuel system. Most common cause is the gas cap is loose or you forgot to put it back on after fueling up.
bro came into my car 5 years ago and never left. I had to go to the engine whisperer (mechanic with a diag tool) and it whispered to him that he needs an airflow sensor. Idc, you run fine, keep on hiking with me

Omg this is so so good and accurate!!!!!!!!
This is why you buy an OBD scan tool BEFORE your car breaks.
Code 400 speed sensor is the code a Subaru trips if the battery is bad or you need to clean the ground straps. I say that as a warning to those before you buy a OBD scan tool. It is not going to play fair sometimes.
Wtf funny as hell glad I came across this 😂 I deal with this with my Honda Civic all the time lol it's old AF. Dam....that reminds me gotta get this current engine light fixed my tags up early 2025 😫
That may be the most evil laugh I’ve ever heard.. I don’t dare go try to start my truck 😬
🤣🤣 I laughed up my Koolaid watching this.
The toyota corolla version of this is just that awkward introverted friend whose always there but never says anything. I can't remember when the light WASN'T on lollll
That was pretty amusing dude.
I literally felt braincells dying watching this.
Hahahaha I wanna play a game. Most real shit ever! Well done Marshall.
i cant stop thinking about him making this video talking to nobody in the other seat. LMFAO
I already lost it at the check engine light T-Shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check Engine!
I did, it’s still there 🤷🏻♂️
how wife acts, read my mind
Would’ve been even better if he left the first time, but came back the next day and insisted on staying this time.
Now do one where check engine gets into a car with a woman and she pretends he isn't there...
I was waiting for the transmission light to hop in next. 😂
Your videos are amazing! Keep em at 3 minutes!
In the next episode, he just stares at you and doesn't say anything... terrifying
Here's a light that won't tell you sheeeeeeit😂
Need a sequel where a $5000 scan tool is a person dressed up in a fancy suit!
I mean a $30 scan tool will work
OBD2 scanners are well worth their price (between $50 and $100 for a good one). You can even clear check engine lights and sometimes see if someone else cleared the light (monitor not ready). By the way, most common check engine light is the evap purge valve for the fuel system. Most common cause is the gas cap is loose or you forgot to put it back on after fueling up.
I feel like it was a missed opportunity for a gas cap to magically appear in the vehicle
bro came into my car 5 years ago and never left. I had to go to the engine whisperer (mechanic with a diag tool) and it whispered to him that he needs an airflow sensor. Idc, you run fine, keep on hiking with me
