Audi Onboard Diagnostic System & Check Engine Light

Audi manufactures every model with an onboard diagnostic system for prompt performance problem identification. The Audi onboard diagnostic system detects problems with specialized sensors positioned throughout primary systems monitoring temperatures, fluid levels, speed, voltage, pressures, emissions, and more. Sensors trigger the onboard diagnostic system to illuminate the check engine when a problem exists. The onboard diagnostic system and check engine light are essential for prompt problem identification; however, the check engine light does not provide the specifics necessary for accurate repairs. A check engine light diagnosis service provides the details needed for restoring factory specifications and turning the check engine light off. Check engine lights are usually solid for minor problems but flash due to problems associated with catastrophic engine damage. You can continue driving with a solid check engine light, but schedule service as soon as possible to contain the risk and repair cost. Driving with a flashing check engine light is not recommended; stop your vehicle in a safe position and turn the engine off.
