Check engine lite on

[mav_santana]

Looking to see if anyone can help me here.

My 2014 rogue SL's check engine light came on this mornning. I barely have 18k miles on this.
First I thought it might be due to coolant going below min. I refilled it but the light is still on.

I am seeing some sluggishness when accelerating. When stopped at a signal and accelerating, i feel like the engine is gasping. How could that be related to the check engine light?

What other symptoms should I look for to find out the reason for check engine light?

18000 miles, less than 2 years old. Isn't it still under warranty? Take it to the dealer.

Yeah I will. But was curious as to why this might happen.

Did you have a recent oil change?
When was the last time you checked the engine air filter?

"Jiffy Lube did the job"

Well, that confirms my suspicions.
As Andrew noted, the first thing to check is your air filter box, as the poorly trained kids at J-Lube may not have secured it properly after taking out your air filter in order to try to sell you a new one. Or they may have disconnected a vacuum line. In addition to the drop in power, is the engine idling rougher than previously?

As Andrew hinted, it is possible that those lunkheads drained the transmission fluid rather than the motor oil. The result would be a transmission that is very dry (some fluid is retained by the torque converter, so it would not be totally dry), and an engine that is grossly overfilled with oil (the old oil plus the new oil). An engine that is grossly overfilled with oil will be sluggish, and is experiencing damage from the overfill. A transmission that is grossly under filled will shortly be a fried transmission.

In case you think that this scenario is not possible, I would estimate that at least 10 people per year report that exact situation on this site, and in almost every case, it happened at Jiffy Lube.

Around 17k miles. Not long ago. I

And the air filter?

And the air filter?

No. I was supposed to do it at the 17k service but delayed it. Would that be the cause? Is there a DIY video for 2014 rogue?

Q. Would that be the cause?
A. YES.

Q. Is there a DIY video for 2014 rogue?
A. I did a GOOGLE search, but didn't find one. Honestly, changing the engine air filter is very easy to do.

BTW, it's not necessary to use the quote feature every time you reply.

Went to the dealer yesterday. Turns out that the airflow sensor was damaged. They had to overnight one in. Got back my car today and works as before.

Dont wanna be picky on words but if they say "damaged" did someone or something damage it or should they have said Defective? Thanks for your feedbacks.

maximus099, quit playing 'attorney' lolol/jk :p

damage can occur naturally through the heat cycles, vibrations, or internal electrical short circuiting. its why we have a warranty.

[Maximus099]

Thank god it was during warranty because the "damage" would have cost OP afterwards. lol
