Engine Management Light (EML / Check Engine)

The engine management light (also called the EML, MIL, or check engine light) is the most misunderstood warning on the dashboard. Solid amber means a fault is logged but the car is drivable. Flashing means stop now — usually a misfire that's dumping raw fuel into the catalytic converter.
