What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan?
It signals that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) system has detected an issue — anything from a loose gas cap to emissions or engine performance faults. Common causes include EVAP system leaks, oxygen sensor faults, ignition misfires, or catalytic converter issues. Ignoring the light can lead to reduced fuel economy and higher repair costs down the road. At Larry H.

How long does a check engine light service take?
Diagnostic time typically ranges from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the code and if road testing is required.
