Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Verify dashboard messages and any accompanying warnings — some systems show a separate battery, coolant, or charging alert alongside the check engine light on a 2025 Kia EV6.
• Check the 12V auxiliary battery condition and visible connectors; a weak 12V can cause multiple fault lights and unexpected behavior.
• Inspect obvious issues: loose charging cable, recent charging interruptions, or wet/loose connectors around the charging inlet.
• If lights persist or flash, limit driving and contact Nalley Kia to schedule a safe diagnostic — warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.
