The problem here are two things: Faulty check lights and dishonest car shops.

Especially if you are a woman. They automatically assume you are "mechanically disabled" and try every trick on you. There is also the practice to recommend oil changes and other maintenance way more frequently than it is actually necessary. Hyper capitalism turns all of us into financial predators and paranoids.

The problem is the "check engine" light is tied to many systems and could be anything from an electrical issue, to a gas cap seal, to a bad sensor. Add to that some automakers tie the light to your last oil change and use it to indicate you need maintenance, and it can mean something trivial, to more important. That said, solid light means, "hey, go see your mechanic sometime soon." Flashing engine light means, "your engine is about to die, don't drive unless it's straight to your mechanic." As well.

So I drove the car for months with the light on. Then I had a family emergency, had to fly, and left the car at my aunt’s house (who was actually the person who introduced me to BBT in the first place) and said “If for any reason you need to drive the car you can.

At your earliest convenience, go to a autozone, advance auto, or O’Riley auto parts store. They will pull the trouble code and tell you if it’s a serious issue, or one of the nuisance codes. A FLASHING check engine light is much more serious. That means the PCM has detected a fault that could potentially damage the oxygen sensors or catalytic converters. Get that problem fixed asap. Having said all that, if the Check Gauges light comes on, immediately stop driving it and find out why it’s on. If you don’t stop, more than likely the car will stop on its own, in a potentially bad situation, and almost certainly be very expensive to fix.

On a side note I'd like to know how she kept it registered for years in California with a CEL.

​​@@theluschmaster no. I would've dropped him off to work, thank him for pointing out the engine light, and got it looked at. Because this time Sheldon's cause for concern was 100% LEGIT! Never drive your car when the engine light is on. You risk ruining your engine, which is extremely expensive to replace. Most cases buying a new car would be a better solution than replacing the engine. I can't believe im saying this but.... Sheldon was right!

@@theluschmaster as annoying he was. His cause for concern was just. Now penny has to replace the engine. Which costs somewhere between $4,500-$7,000 (american) depending on the car. Not to mention paying to get the car towed, and paying mechanic to install said engine. Plus, she'll have to rent a car while its being repaired. The cost of those varies from state to state, but at this point, she might as well buy a new car! She would have avoided a lot of headache if she listened to sheldon, and amy, and Leonard's mom. Driving a car while the engine light is on is damaging your engine. You must get it looked at ASAP when this happens. The fact that penny had the car running this long is nothing short of a miracle.

@@Shark97281 bullshit. Clearly, you have no automotive service knowledge or experience. It depends on the reason why the light is on. The vast majority of check engine lights are caused by nuisance issues. Most of those nuisance issues are the result of government regulations brought on by the EPA. Find a trusted skilled automotive technician to pull the trouble codes from the cars computer. If that’s to costly, most auto parts stores (autozone, advance auto, or o’Riley’s) will do it for you. They obviously won’t ox it, but you will at least know WHY the light is on. Once you have that info, you can decide what to do next. If the check engine light is flashing, the there is the potential risk of serious expensive damage. Most catastrophic engine problems can be avoided if people would simply pay attention to the gauges OTHER than the fuel gauge and speedometer. Most people never look at the oil pressure or temperature gauge. Occasionally look at them, get an idea of what they should’ve under normal conditions, if they suddenly have abnormal readings then figure out why IMMEDIATELY. If the car runs and drives normally, then almost certainly the check engine light is a nuisance concern.

I’m not always a mechanic, but when I am, I remind people of their check engine light.

One of the best scene!

I know it's a running gag with the show, but after Penny spent $1200 to get her engine fixed, you'd think they would've run a diagnostic to figure out why the light was on before returning the car to her and fixed the problem.

This showed Sheldon trying to e nice. He was evolving!

Great clip.

As someone who drives a puddle jumper of a car like and it's older than me I totally agree with Penny's decision.

Check engine light is usually a gas cap or you're running a bit rich, hardly a concern

Ahhh.. sheldon kicked out.. 👏👏👏👏

A never ending saga 😂

One of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud.

I'd put a sticker over it whenever someone else got in😅

And then Leonard buys Penny a car.

Remarkable that somebody who apparently rebuilt a tractor engine isn't capable of doing basic maintenance on her car. Even without the tools she could drive to an Advance or Autozone and borrow them (including one to diagnose that check engine light).

@@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821 actually it would. I'd love to see Penny working on her car. She's already shown to be a lot more capable and smart than the guys give her credit for and that would just reinforce that theme. This "I'm so helpless" storyline about the car is actually an aberration from her character arc.

Those snakes always get me

Putting a sticker over the light right up there with dealing with strange engine noises by turning up the radio.

How strict can Penny be real or extremely

Does the VW Golf MK1 actually had a "check engine" light? 😃😃 As I remember MK1 and MK2 had only few LED's and closest ones could be for low oil pressure or high coolant temperature.

Bingo. I was looking for someone to say this.

I never watched this show, but the clips makes me interested.

Beverly's comment to "Yikes" made me unexpectedly choke on my food. I forgot how nonchalant that was.

I was charged $150 just for the dealer to tell me my Check Engine light being on was simply a false trip and there was nothing wrong. She was probably wise to ignore it.

Although true sometimes.... if your engine light is on for days... its not a good idea to ignore this.

Jeez, the tool to read the check engine light doesn't even cost $150. Well it probably costs about $150 now, I sold them 15 years ago. And bonus you don't even need to pop the hood to use it, the connection is in the interior of the car.
