If the check engine light comes on in your 2016 Chevy Malibu, it's important to pull over as soon as possible to avoid damaging your vehicle's components. Once stopped, you can use an OBD II scan tool to retrieve the stored trouble code from the ECU. For example, if you see a code P2097, it indicates a fuel richness issue on bank 1. Typically, this points to a problem with either an O2 sensor or the catalytic converter, as the sensor is positioned after the catalytic converter. I suggest taking your vehicle for inspection to identify and address the faulty component.
