So let us begin with clearing up the big question:

What Causes All of the Lights?

Now a check engine light and a flashing cruise control light don’t spell doom right away. So calm down and take a deep breath before you call roadside assistance.

However, occasionally you find a car that activates the light under weather or temperature fluctuations. The sensors in your vehicle are sensitive to that sort of thing.

Over time you don’t need to worry because after a while the car will “fix itself” in other words the sensors will adapt and realize that nothing is actually wrong with your car.

In a perfect world, your warning lights might go as far as telling you exactly the dollar amount of how much the most common and expensive repairs will set you back. Other times it is not imminent doom at all. Your car is just being worried for nothing.

How To Know When The Lights Are Nothing to Worry About

Sometimes there is an issue with the car, but it’s not as bad as the dark light suggests it is. Sometimes the problem is with the sensors themselves.

If your speed sensor isn’t working correctly or if your throttle position sensor is less effective than it should be, it will also set off the check engine light.

Now, none of those things actually have anything to do with the engine of your car itself. So you don’t need to get these make something like an extended warranty claim right away.

And then when you do get those sensors repaired or replaced will cost you less than a few hundred bucks.

Lo and behold as soon as those sensors are taken care of, those lights don’t glare anymore, and you can well be on your way.

When You Need To Worry About Your Vehicle’s Warning Lights

Warning lights are a sign that something is wrong with your car. The best thing you can do is take your car to the mechanic and get it checked out.

Sometimes your car’s sensors will “fix themselves” or perhaps merely forget what’s wrong with the car. However, you know for a fact that the problem is dangerous if the check engine light returns.

So always keep an eye on it when you can.

What Do You Do When You See The Lights

So the key to getting your car’s warning lights dealt with is…take it to the shop. It’s literally that simple.

Take your vehicle to your automaker’s service center or an affordable, reliable, and trustworthy mechanic to have them check and diagnose your car.

If it turns out to be just the censors, then you have nothing to worry about. If a significant engine component is a problem, you need to have that fixed asap.

And then you can drive with peace of mind and no warning lights for a good long while.

A Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) is often referred to as an “extended auto warranty”, but is not a warranty.  A VSC does, however, provide repair coverage for your vehicle after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. A VSC is a contract between you and an administrator that states what’s a covered repair and what’s not. Endurance is an administrator of VSCs and does not sell warranties.
