The 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 might have its check engine light come on for lots of reasons. Some include low engine oil levels or a damaged or open gas cap. It could also be a result of more sever issues. An OBD-II reading can shed more light on what is causing it. Keep in mind that this light also comes on even if there is nothing wrong. This usually happens when it is a routine reminder to do a maintenance on the car. It will go off when the maintenance service is complete. You can also put it off manually with an OBD-II reader, which will keep it off in this specific scenario. In other cases, putting off the light manually will not last, as long as the problem is not fully addressed.

The check engine light in your 2008 gmc sierra may be illuminated by something as simple as a loose gas cap or may indicate a more serious problem associated with your vehicle involving the emissions system or o2 sensors.
