Hello, I'm Danny.

Having the diagnostic light on means that there is a trouble code(s) stored in your cars computer. First thing that needs you need to do is have the code(s) retrieved.Most auto parts stores (AutoZone) can either loan you a code reader/scanner or will do it for you for free. Here is a tutorial showing you what is involved:
