Hi there. If the Check Engine light is illuminated, the first thing to do is to retrieve any problem codes from the engine management system (yes, it has on-board diagnostics). If there is no Check Engine light, the problem may be related to your repeated dead battery issues - something is draining the battery, poor battery cable connections that affect charging as well as starting, or a weak starter. If you need help having this resolved, a certified technician from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to diagnose and repair the no start.
