How often should I come in for GMC Sierra 1500 Limited differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is my Sierra 1500 Limited malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Sierra 1500 Limited can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Sierra 1500 Limited check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
