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 Tim Norton Motor Services. 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 Tim Norton Motor Services, 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 Oakham 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.

Tim Norton Motor Services is affiliated with several highly-respected national and international motoring organisations and brands, such as Bosch, 1link, Bumper, IMI, RMI, Who Can Fix My Car, the Motor Ombudsman, and the IMDA. These greatly contribute to the services and support we offer our customers and give us access to advanced technology, training, and the supply of quality parts to ensure we remain a leading garage in the Oakham area.
