What Does Engine Power Reduced Mean on My Chevy Equinox?

Most of the time, your Mooresville Chevy Equinox is running as it should. However, you might run into a situation where you see an exclamation point in your driver information center as well as a readout: “Engine Power Reduced.” This could mean one of several things, but in every case, it means you should come have a chat with the service team at Greg Hubler Chevrolet because we’re the experts who can get you back on the road in no time flat!

What Does My Chevy Equinox Saying “Engine Power Reduced” Mean?

If you see that phrase on your car’s driver information center, there are several possible culprits. When you go into “limp mode,” as it’s sometimes called, you won’t accelerate as fast and you’ll suffer reduced performance in general. Most likely, your throttle body needs to be cleaned, which means you should pull over in Plainfield or wherever you are and get your vehicle examined by an automotive expert.

If you have access to an OBDII reader, plug it into the car’s port by the steering wheel on the door side (on most models) and see what it says. In any case, scheduling service with the team at Greg Hubler Chevrolet is the best choice to make sure you get back on the road like nothing ever went wrong.
