When you see the red engine light, you must take it very seriously. It is recommended to turn off the engine immediately and locate the problem before driving again. First consider if the problem is in the oil or coolant.

 

Inspect the dipstick’s oil level first. Add oil if necessary. Meanwhile, check the area underneath the car for sign of oil leak.

 

If the service engine light is on, that could mean emission, sensor or computer problem. A few things to check are loose cap, engine temperature, battery and oil pressure and level.
