The PGM-FI light, which stands for Programmed Fuel Injection, is an indicator on your vehicle’s dashboard that signals an issue related to the fuel injection system. When this light comes on, it means that there is a problem with the engine’s fuel injection system, and the onboard diagnostics have detected an issue.
Common reasons for the PGM-FI light to come on include issues with the fuel injectors, fuel pump, sensors (such as the oxygen sensor or throttle position sensor), or the engine control module (ECM). It could also indicate problems with the air intake system or issues related to the fuel delivery system.
If the PGM-FI light illuminates on your dashboard, it’s recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic or take it to a service center as soon as possible. Ignoring the warning light could lead to decreased fuel efficiency, poor engine performance, and potential damage to the engine components. The mechanic can use diagnostic tools to identify the specific issue and recommend the necessary repairs.
