Sign Check Engine
My car's engine light is shining?
I have a Hyundai Accent, if that makes any difference, and the "check engine" sign went on today. What exactly does that mean? I have to drive 30 minutes to class and back tomorrow, is that safe?
I checked my motor oil, and that wasn't the problem. I noticed today that the engine sounded louder than usual, but it was after I noticed the light so maybe I just imagined it?
The "check engine" light is connected to the car's engine fuel management computer. This is the computer that runs the fuel injectors, reads the engine sensors, etc. The oxygen sensors are used by the ECM to determine how accurately it's injecting the fuel, and adjusting the way the fuel is injected to compensate for changing conditions. When the computer inside the ECM detects that there is something wrong, the ECM turns on the "check engine" light.
It doesn’t mean something cataclysmic is about to happen, just that the computer that runs a lot of the functions in your engine is getting some bad information.

Signs of Trouble: Weak Alternator
Winter time can be especially stressful on your car as cold temperatures and icy conditions can make the going rough during that time of the year. Hazardous road conditions, blinding snow and sub zero temperatures can put your car at risk, even leaving you stranded if you are not careful.
There is one component inside of your car that can contribute to dimming headlights, a battery unable to hold its charge and just plain difficulty starting your car on a cold winter morning. That part would be your alternator, an essential component to ensuring that your car is running right under all conditions.
"The alternator, which supplies power to your vehicle's electrical system, works a lot harder today than it did in the past," said Fred Padgett, Group Product Manager, Starting and Charging Products for Bosch, the world's largest supplier of automotive parts to the automotive industry and the aftermarket. www.boschautoparts.com.
When alternators were first developed, the only tasks they were responsible for was to power the horn and the headlights. Today, car's are much more technologically sophisticated and include a number of features that weren't available a generation ago including navigation systems, dual zone air conditioning, entertainment systems, rear window defrosters, in-car television, refrigeration and more. Initially a 50 to 60 amp alternator would have been sufficient but today's cars require a much more power unit, one with 130 amps or more.
According to Padgett, alternators contain diodes and built-in voltage regulators that may allow enough output to keep the "ALT" or "Check Engine" light from coming on. But output may be compromised enough that the alternator is unable to keep up with demand and is actually draining the battery to operate the vehicle. The result? Dim lights, slow wipers and turn signals, possibly a slow start condition --- and ultimately, a dead battery.
Fortunately, a repair shop can check alternator output and replace it if necessary. Bosch, Padgett said, offers both new and remanufactured alternators and both carry Bosch's free two-year emergency roadside assistance.
So before winter's fury sidelines your car, make sure that your car is in top shape before venturing out on the road. Make sure that your vehicle's alternator is part of that check up, something your mechanic can easily examine the next time you take your car in for service.
