Engine light is always on and it loses power. I have checked mechanics, even local GM dealer and all did not find fault. Can you help please?

Hi Otaf,

I can almost guarantee you that check engine light is related to the lack of power problem. Why no one can find the code is kind of weird. Can you borrow a scanner from a parts store and see what engine codes are in it?

Hello OTALF,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article from this site that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
