'Check Engine' light

Did you know that you can buy this device yourself for under $20 and obtain the code yourself? Yep, that's right - it's called an OBD2 adapter. Just buy it online to have it shipped to your home. All you do to use it is connect it to the OBD connector on your car, install an app called 'Torque' on your smartphone (assuming you have an Android) and connect to it via bluetooth to get the engine code. Once you have the engine code you can then go to www.engine-codes.com, enter the code, and it will give you a recommendation on what to do to fix the issue so that the 'Check Engine' light goes away!
