The check engine light in your 2018 GMC Sierra serves as a universal signal for various potential issues that could arise in your vehicle. It is recommended to utilize an OBD-II scan tool to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Without more details, it is difficult to pinpoint the specific problem triggering the light. The range of check engine light problems can vary from a loose gas cap to issues with various sensors or components like the EVAP system, spark plugs, oxygen sensor, and more. You can look up specific DTCs in Vehicle History or other resources for further insights into the problem. If you don't have access to a scan tool, many auto parts stores provide this service for free.
