Engine Management

What should I do if my car’s engine management light comes on?

What you should do will depend on the colour of the light that comes on:

If the light is red, you need to stop driving straight away and get in touch with Broomhead Garage. When the red light is illuminated, it generally means that there’s a serious issue and that continuing to drive could be dangerous and ultimately result in very expensive repairs.

If the light is orange or yellow, it does indicate an issue, but it could be something simple that you can resolve yourself such as topping up the engine oil or checking the tyre pressure. A yellow or orange engine management light can also indicate something that can only be dealt with by someone with expert knowledge such as the team at Broomhead Garage so don’t hesitate to get in touch with any concerns that you have. Even if it does seem to be something very simple, we’re more than happy to have a look to help you out and reassure you.

We have advanced diagnostic software at our workshop in Dunfermline and the expertise and experience to get to the source of any issues that are causing the engine management light to come on in your vehicle, and get them resolved for you quickly and safely.

As an accredited Bosch Service Centre, Broomhead Garage adheres to the highest industry standards, offering expert service with advanced diagnostic tools. We’re also proud to partner with WhoCanFixMyCar, ensuring convenient, reliable repairs.
