Why does the check engine light in my Express 2500 turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Express 2500 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
