Questions About 2013 Chevrolet Sonic Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Sonic? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Sonic testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet Sonic engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Chevrolet Sonic engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I use water in my Chevrolet Sonic radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Sonic when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my Sonic to suddenly stop? Your Sonic car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
