Check engine light on
Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.

we have already scanned it. As far as we can with the scanner we have. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas what it could be.
