Check Engine Light

A check engine light can mean many different things, from something minor to an issue that needs attention quickly. When this light comes on, the best thing you can do is have the vehicle checked before the problem becomes bigger. At Tony’s Toys, our Check Engine Light service in Cayman focuses on accurate diagnostics and clear explanations so you always know what is happening under the bonnet.

The first step is to connect your car to a professional diagnostic system. Our technicians use OBD-II scanners and manufacturer-level software to read fault codes and view live data from sensors throughout the engine. This helps us pinpoint whether the issue is related to emissions, ignition, fuel delivery, airflow, temperature sensors, or a misfire. If needed, we perform additional tests such as smoke testing to locate vacuum leaks or pressure testing to check fuel or engine components.

Drivers usually notice small changes when the check engine light appears. The engine may feel slightly rough or weak. The vehicle might idle unevenly, burn more fuel than usual, or lose power on hills. Sometimes the light turns on even when the car feels normal, which is why a diagnostic scan is so important. Modern engines rely on dozens of sensors, and even a small fault can affect performance if left alone.
