A: There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the fuel cap is fully engaged and

emergency key into the ignition switch then re-insert (backwards) the F.A.S.T.-key fob onto the emergency key. Once the F.A.S.T.-key fob
is re-inserted (backwards) turn the emergency key to start the engine.
