When those mysterious lights on your dash start flashing letters at you, it can be scary for drivers whose main knowledge about vehicles is how to start them and steer them down the road.

If the check engine light illuminates, it will either blink or remain constantly illuminated, depending on the problem. A blinking light, or in some cars a red light instead of a yellow or orange light, indicates a problem that needs immediate attention. Either way, you should have the vehicle checked by a mechanic.
