If you’ve got the owner’s manual to your GM vehicle (Chevy, Buick, etc.) handy, you can flip to the section about the driver information center (or instrument cluster). There, you’ll find a general overview of what the Engine Power Reduced message means for your particular year and model.

The scanner also allows you to clear the vehicle’s internal code, which is what triggered the check-engine light. Do that, and the warning light will turn off. More on that later. To shut off the warning light, and to know exactly what’s wrong with your vehicle, you need a scanner.
