When you start your car, the car computer checks the engine for engine-y stuff like gas, spark, torques, etc.

If the engine successfully passes the check, the Engine Check light comes on.

I guess that truck owner is excessively proud of his working engine :shrug:

the check engine light comes on when there is a problem.

Serious post: The sticker conveys a humorous tone. It's stating that even though his check engine light is one he is still going to drive with his back window tinted. Tinted windows cause an engine light to come on because it dims the "cabin sensors" which determine if there's enough light getting to the distributor cap. The distributor cap controls the timing belt, which is another tongue in cheek joke about "comedic timing."

Honestly it's just a nerdy sticker for people that know a lot about cars.

The check engine light should just be a middle finger with a tiny dollar sign in the middle. Unless that light is blinking, your car is running like poo poo or your temp gauge is pegged you can probably ignore it and "Let it shine".

Well yeah. The problem is the check engine light covers too many sensors, everything from "Hey, you're engine is about to explode" to "The gas cap is slightly loose."

They are for the non-migratory ones. For my company, I'm authorized by the department of fish and game to "harass" Canada geese. I can chase them, yell at them, destroy their nests and break their eggs. I just have to report to them every year how many nests and eggs I destroy and where.

I don't actually do any of this, I'm just on the list of people who can.

So do you get an actual title with that ? Because "Geese Harasser" would go straight onto my resumé.

Every check engine light I've ever had has been a faulty knock sensor, which as far as I can tell is a sensor that's put in the engine to become faulty and trigger the check engine light.

17-year old kids at my school: 'we borrowed my dad's car for this long journey and the oil light came on. But it went off when we drive over 90, so we did the whole trip at 90+'


Daddy needed a new engine the following day.

Yeah but it might be a good idea to use that same reader to see what error codes are present since it may not have illuminated for just no reason at all.

Protip right here. Wish I'd known about those connectors before, I hate vital information about the car being right there and not having access to it.
