Engine Light and Diagnostics
Why It Matters
The check engine light in your GMC car or truck, sometimes referred to as a malfunction indicator lamp, signals that a sensor or system has detected a problem. Sometimes the problem is a minor issue like a loose gas cap, but sometimes the light can signal a more serious engine, emission, or fuel system issue. Ignoring check engine and other warning lights can lead to reduced performance, increased emissions, or even potentially catastrophic engine damage over time.

- Reduced power
- Rough idling or stalling
