Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on in a 2026 Buick Enclave?

• Check that the gas cap is properly tightened — a loose or damaged cap is a common trigger for an emissions code.

• Look for obvious signs like a disconnected vacuum hose, frayed wiring, or visible leaks.
• If unsure, bring the vehicle to our service center; factory-trained technicians can read codes and advise next steps.
• Remember: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and long-term savings.

What is the most common reason for the check engine light on a 2026 Buick Enclave?

• Faulty oxygen sensors, catalytic efficiency codes, and misfires are frequent triggers that affect emissions and performance.
• An unsecured or damaged gas cap often causes evap system codes and is one of the simplest fixes.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2026 Buick Enclave?

• The light signals that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an emissions or engine system fault; severity ranges from minor to critical.
• A steady light usually indicates a stored code requiring diagnosis; a flashing light often signals a serious condition (see flashing FAQ below).
• Ignoring the warning can lead to reduced fuel economy, higher emissions, increased repair costs, or damage to major components like the catalytic converter.
