Check Engine Light Diagnostics in San Jose, CA

Is Your Check Engine Light On?

A check engine light can mean something as simple as a loose gas cap—or it could be warning you about a serious engine problem. At Tres Amigos Truck & Auto Service, we provide professional check engine light diagnostics in San Jose using advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the exact cause of the warning light. Instead of guessing or replacing unnecessary parts, we find the problem and explain your repair options clearly.


If your check engine light has come on, call (408) 287-6833 to schedule a diagnostic inspection.

What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?

Your vehicle's onboard computer constantly monitors engine performance, emissions, fuel delivery, ignition timing, sensors, and dozens of other systems. When it detects a problem, it stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and turns on the check engine light. Some problems are minor. Others can quickly become expensive if ignored.

Common Reasons Your Check Engine Light Comes On

Some of the most common causes include:

Arrow Loose or damaged gas cap
Arrow Oxygen sensor failure
Arrow Spark plugs or ignition coils
Arrow Mass airflow sensor
Arrow Catalytic converter problems
Arrow EVAP system leaks
Arrow Fuel injector issues
