The problem with my car is that it has the check engine light on and I'm not sure why it has it on. What I have done is connected a scanner to it and it gave me a code that I am not sure what it meant. The code read as follows: P1190. I'm really not sure what that means and would want to know so I could find out what the problem is with my car.
