Check engine light diagnostics in AnaheimFind out what is wrong before you approve any work
A check engine light only tells you the computer saw a problem. It does not tell you what to fix. Brian's Auto Service diagnoses the actual cause, so you know what your vehicle needs and what it does not before you approve any work.

What check engine light diagnostics covers
Check engine light diagnostics at Brian's Auto Service find the cause behind the warning light on gas and diesel vehicles, so you can approve repairs with the facts in hand. Call (714) 237-0051 to confirm diagnostic availability and any charges for your vehicle.
What the light is telling you
- Steady lightThe computer has logged a fault. The vehicle is usually safe to drive for now, but have it checked soon so a small fault does not grow.
- Flashing lightUsually an active misfire that can overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Ease off and get the vehicle to a shop as soon as you safely can.
- Light plus a symptomRough running, power loss or a smell along with the light makes it more urgent.
- Light came on after fuelingSometimes a loose fuel cap is to blame. If it stays on after tightening, have it checked.
- Light keeps coming backA fault that returns after the light is cleared was never fixed.

Clearing the light is not fixing it
Turning a warning light off without finding the cause just hides the problem until it gets bigger. A real diagnosis costs less than replacing parts one at a time, and it keeps fleet vehicles from coming back with the same complaint.
