Yes. You must make the distinction between CEL.... Check Engine Light, sometimes a little engine symbol. If that lights up, the OBD has detected a fault and the car needs attention. If the CEL FLASHES a more serious fault has been detected. Now alltogether different is Maintenance Required light. The answer is yes it perfectly fine to drive to have service done

Red Engine light came on dashboard of my 2007 s60 Volvo with 96,567 miles. Delear said I need a fuel pressure sensor and PCV breather box at a cost of $650 plus $1,350, respectively, for a total of $2,000 without tax. I was about to give the car away to Goodwill for a tax break...My friend has dealt with an honest Mom & Pop mechanic for over 30 years (I always wondered why she brought a car once every 20 years) and she suggested that talk to them. Anyway, I took my s60 Volvo to her mechanic and his diagnosed the fuel pressure sensor and broken PCV hoses...Total cost to fix with parts and labor was $320. No lights or messages on dashboard and Car runs great! People check around for a great honest reasonable mechanic!
