Hey guys I need a little help. My dashboard or message center if you will has the check engine light on every time I run my car. I have checked everything regarding oil, coolant, transmission, and power steering fluids and they are full. So I really don't know what is making it do that. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated

You need to use a code reader to pull the trouble codes from the control module(s). Take the car to an Autozone. They'll read the codes for free. The trouble codes will help direct you to what the problem is. Or, take it to the dealer or a repair shop and they can help you.

yes, advance or autozone will read your codes for free. check the gas cap. if not on correctly or if is bad it will give you a check engine light also.... just a thought!! good luck....
