The water pump seal can degrade over time, leading to coolant leaks. This is a common wear item on many vehicles and can lead to overheating if not addressed. Estimated repair cost: $600 - $1,000.

Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) System Leaks

Leaks in the EVAP system, often caused by cracked hoses or a faulty vent solenoid, can trigger the Check Engine Light. These issues are typically not critical for immediate driving but should be addressed to pass emissions tests. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $500.

HVAC Blower Motor Failure

The HVAC blower motor can fail due to worn bearings or electrical issues, resulting in no airflow from the vents. This impacts cabin comfort significantly. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $600.
