What Does My Chevy Equinox Saying “Engine Power Reduced” Mean?

If you see this phrase appear on your driver information center, there are a few potential reasons. One reason may be that your vehicle has gone into “limp mode,” where you won’t be able to accelerate as fast and you won’t get the peak performance out of your vehicle. Most likely, you will need to get an expert to clean out the throttle body. 

If you have an OBDII reader, be sure to plug in to the car’s port by the steering wheel on the door side and see what it says. Ultimately though, scheduling service with our service center is ultimately the safest choice. We will ensure that your throttle body is clean and is running smoothly as you drive through Richlands.
