Possible Problems
Although your vehicle’s exhaust system is sturdy, some things can go wrong. An illuminated check engine light indicates that the exhaust could have a problem. This lamp can point to a number of combustion and exhaust related issues, so we’ll need to diagnose the situation to pinpoint the problem properly. Whether the exhaust or another underlying cause is the culprit, the source must be corrected for your automobile to pass inspection. A common exhaust problem is a bad oxygen sensor. This component monitors the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust to help your vehicle regulate its fuel-air ratio to optimize combustion. Another issue is an exhaust leak. This is particularly concerning if it allows fumes to enter the passenger cabin. Leaks typically occur as the system ages and the car has made many trips over imperfect road surfaces. This combination of circumstances creates perfect conditions for cracking. Other troubles related to use, wear, and weather include broken hangers with exhaust parts in place and rust that can eat through the metal components. Finally, watch for new colors that appear as smoke from your car’s exhaust. While this may not indicate a problem with this system itself, colored smoke often points to other problems that reveal themselves through the exhaust. White smoke usually points to coolant leaking into the cylinder area, so one might suspect a crack in a cylinder, engine block, or head gasket. Blue smoke is usually a tell-tale sign of oil burning in the cylinders. Often, the seals or rings are bad. If too much fuel is being used, the smoke may appear black. This often means your vehicle has a clogged injector or air filter.
