What are the most common reasons for a check engine light on a 2025 Cadillac XT6?
Frequent causes include oxygen sensor faults, EVAP leaks, MAF sensor issues, catalytic converter efficiency faults, and engine misfires.

Our Cadillac-certified technicians in Lynnfield confirm the issue with targeted tests, then provide a clear estimate. Check current service specials and schedule service online.
- EVAP leaks: loose/damaged gas cap or vapor line leaks

Is it safe to drive my 2025 Cadillac XT6 with the check engine light on?
If the light is steady, drive cautiously to service; if it’s flashing, stop driving—flashing signals a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter.

2025 Cadillac XT6 Common Engine Codes

Misfire codes (P03xx) point to ignition, fuel delivery, or compression issues and, if ignored, can overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Converter efficiency codes (P0420/P0430) may follow extended misfires or sensor faults and can lead to expensive emissions repairs when neglected. Oxygen sensor codes (P013x/P015x) and MAF performance codes (P0101) affect drivability and fuel economy, while EVAP leak codes (P044x) are often tied to a loose gas cap or vapor line leaks that can trigger inspection failures.
