Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2023 Toyota bZ4X?

• Battery management system alerts — battery state, cell imbalance, or charge issues can trigger a warning.
• Charging or inlet faults — poor connection, charger communication errors, or onboard charger faults.
• Inverter / drive motor sensor errors — drive system sensors can flag faults that affect drivability.
• Software or calibration updates — sometimes a software inconsistency causes a warning that a reflash resolves.
• We often find that addressing these issues with Nalley Toyota of Roswell costs less than independent shops while delivering factory-level diagnostics and long-term savings; warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2023 Toyota bZ4X?

• It indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a system irregularity — not always an immediate emergency.
• For an electric vehicle this often points to electrical, battery management, charging or motor-drive control systems rather than a traditional engine fault.
• Many warnings are reversible with simple actions or software updates; others require component repair or replacement.
• Bringing the vehicle to our dealership ensures accurate scanning with OEM tools and preserves any warranty; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealer to remain valid.

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

• Check the dashboard for additional messages — battery charge level, charging connection status, or urgent alerts.
• Confirm the vehicle is safely parked and, if driving, reduce speed and stop if the vehicle signals a critical fault.
• For charging-related alerts, verify the charging cable and connector are secure and the charging station is functioning.
• If the light persists or flashes, schedule a certified diagnostic with Nalley Toyota of Roswell right away; certified service often costs less than independents and protects warranty coverage.
