The malfunction indicator light (mil) came on in the van. Is this a problem that can be solved easily or do you need to go to the car dealer for a fix? Is this a dangerous problem indicator?
Thanks
You can go to an auto parts store like Autozone and have them read the codes. You need to find out what the malfunction is. Could be very dangerous.
Note if it is FLASHING have it towed.
Most any good independent shop should be able to solve it. If they can’t they’ll tell you to go to a dealer instead. Anytime the mil light turns on diagnostic codes are stored, so that’s where to start, otherwise it would just be guessing. Many times the mil turns on for something very simple, like a loose gas cap.
