What Does the Wrench Light Mean on a Mazda?

Picture this: you driving along on a Bronx street in your new Mazda CX-30 or Mazda CX-9 when suddenly your “check engine light” comes on. Fortunately for you, the potential issue can be solved quickly and painlessly through our service center at Mazda of New Rochelle. Allow us to walk through potential issues your vehicle might have if the check engine light rears its head.

What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?

If your Mazda check engine light goes on in the Manhattan area, there is no need to panic. There could be a few simple culprits that make the wrench light on a Mazda turn on. Which parts of the Mazda need reviewing with a dealer or service expert? Learn more about the potential causes below before knowing it is safe to drive:

• The exhaust systems could be low.
• Your emissions system might be faulty or in need of review.
• The oil life is running low or is empty.
• There could be a loose gas cap that is not screwed on tightly enough. Either that or it could be missing altogether.

Additional Check Engine Tips

If you want to make sure that your vehicle is safe to drive, here are a few tips you can consider as you’re driving yourself, your passengers, or anyone else on Bronx roads.

• Ideally, you should avoid driving at high speeds in the light that continuously flashes or stays on for a long time. We highly recommend you visit a Mazda dealer service as soon as you can.
• One quick potential solution would be to disconnect and then reconnect the car battery. Sometimes this can be dangerous though, as it could hide old problems or cause new problems.
