2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Check Engine Light Codes
Understanding common codes for the 2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport helps Colorado drivers make informed choices. Typical codes include P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0171 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0455 (evaporative emission leak), and P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit). If left unattended, a P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure — often the most expensive outcome — with replacement costs that can exceed a thousand dollars when aftermarket and labor are considered. A persistent P0171 often means fuel/air imbalance that increases fuel consumption and can damage downstream components. Misfires (P0300 family) damage catalytic converters and reduce drivability; small misfire repairs can be under $200, but unchecked damage multiplies cost. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our factory-trained technicians scan codes precisely, explain likely causes and repair options, and use OEM parts to protect long-term reliability. We balance fast turnarounds with thorough testing so you avoid repeat visits and higher lifetime maintenance costs. To act quickly and protect your Captiva Sport, schedule service and review current service specials for added savings.

Repairs performed under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage; our work meets those standards.
