What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2025 FIAT 500e?

• On an electric vehicle like the 2025 FIAT 500e, the check engine light can indicate issues with high-voltage systems, the inverter, battery thermal management, or supporting 12V systems and sensors.
• It signals that the vehicle’s computer has stored a diagnostic trouble code and that a professional scan is needed to identify severity and required repairs.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2025 FIAT 500e?

• Common triggers include sensor faults (temperature or voltage sensors), charging system anomalies, or control module messages—many of which are detected early by the vehicle’s diagnostics.
• For EVs, issues with the 12V system or thermal management systems are frequent; addressing these early prevents secondary damage to expensive components.
• Our certified technicians use OEM scanners to pinpoint root causes quickly, helping you avoid higher downstream repair costs.
• Because warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership, bringing your vehicle to us protects coverage and provides the best value over time.

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

• Start with a safe stop and review vehicle messages on the dash—some alerts will instruct you to stop driving or limit performance.
• Next, have a certified diagnostic scan performed; DIY resets can mask problems and may void warranty coverage for related repairs.

• If the issue is covered by warranty, repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and ensure factory-quality repairs.

• We prioritize efficient diagnosis and communicate repair timelines clearly so you can plan; many routine fixes are completed the same day.
• Using factory tools and OEM parts allows faster, more reliable repairs and reduces the chance of repeat visits—delivering both immediate savings and lower long-term costs compared with piecemeal service.
