Usually on all GM models 2002 and up, the reduced engine power light is caused by air/fuel delivery system or exhaust/emissions system.

If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
