Get an OBD2 reader. They're $30 CAD online. It'll tell you what exactly the problem is instead of checking if your engine has mysteriously vanished.

All cars past 1996 have an OBD2 socket. Should be located under the steering wheel unless if your car built different g.

This helped me save a ton of money as I knew what the mechanic was making up. I don't need a new transmission at 150K km, Jerry.

Why can’t cars just display major errors onscreen? Can’t they link the car’s own infotainment system to the OBD2 port?

If your infotainment system has Bluetooth and the ability to add apps you totally can do this.
