The first and only sensor ever noticed was the Captiva's engine light was on. So we tried taking it to one of the local parts shops and hooked it up but it only showed issues with the oil. Which the oil had been changed recently so it was not that. There are a ton of sensors on this but none of the other sensors indicating what the problem was. There was no battery sensor on either but we replaced our battery after the SUV Captiva would not start. At that time, the engine light went out for 2 days and then came back on. So we finally we took it to a Chevy shop and they charged us $85 just to put it on their machine to assess it. They charged us another 1400.00 to fix the cam sensor/2 of the timing chains, It was very aggravating as the engine only had 110,000 miles Our gas mileage is still 5 miles to the gallon less than prior to having issues which resulted in fixing it. We will not be buying another chevy.
