Malfunction Indicator Light
 
Bugeye 2002 high milage
hello this light has just come on. The manual mentions something about emissions but i do not quite understand the purpose. It has never appeared before. The car is very low on fuel (id say around 10miles left) before the light came on. Any ideas? Will i be able to drive to work and back tmrw?

thanks

Do you mean the one that says CHECK ENGINE?

Check engine light, or CEL, as its mostly referred to on here is a general fault log. It could be for anything. If its gone out, your OK, its when it stays on, there is a bit more of an issue.

There's about 2000 different reasons that the MIL light could come on - some more serious than others. You need someone to run a scan on your car.
