The 2014 Chevy Captiva has been plagued by a "check engine" light phenomenon that owners find is often solved by replacing the VVT solenoids (variable valve timing) on both the intake and the exhaust. Other reasons associated with this warning include a missing gas cap, low oil levels and a failing O2 sensor. Some repair shops direct Captiva owners to treat their fuel delivery system for carbon build-up and also replace the spark plugs and have the throttle body serviced. The check engine light is often accompanied by a rough idle, reduced fuel economy and hesitation while accelerating. The cost to replace the Captiva's VVT solenoids averages between $400-$500 with costs divided almost evenly between parts and labor.

If your "check engine light" makes an appearance in your 2014 Chevy captiva it may indicate a loose gas cap or a more serious issue like a failed o2 sensor, a larger emissions leak or problems with your vehicle's catalytic converter.
