Chevrolet Check Engine Light service at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
9 common questions answered
What does the check engine light mean on a 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev?
It means the vehicle’s OBD-II system stored a fault code that points to a specific system or circuit needing attention.
Your 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev can set codes for EV subsystems such as the battery management system, high-voltage isolation, inverter/drive unit, or thermal management. Our technicians in Murray retrieve codes and freeze‑frame data, then test the underlying cause rather than just clearing the light. Addressing an EV fault early helps prevent drivability issues and protects expensive components.
- Typical EV-related triggers: battery coolant pump, charge port communication, drive unit sensor
- Do not repeatedly reset the light—this erases diagnostic data

What are the most common reasons for a check engine light on a 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev?
Common causes include battery management system faults, high‑voltage isolation issues, inverter/drive unit problems, sensor circuit errors, and EV thermal management faults.
On the 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev, these conditions may appear after temperature swings, heavy DC fast charging, or coolant flow concerns. Our Murray team verifies wiring integrity, software status, and component performance with GM diagnostic procedures. Catching faults early keeps you safely on the road and prevents collateral damage.
- Watch for reduced power mode, charging interruptions, or warning chimes
- Utah weather shifts can stress EV cooling systems—inspect promptly
- Book online: schedule a diagnostic
Is it safe to drive my 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev in Murray with the check engine light on?
A steady light usually allows cautious driving to service, but a flashing MIL or red drivetrain warning means stop and arrange towing to prevent damage.
If your 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev enters reduced power mode, won’t go “Ready,” or shows multiple warnings, limit use and have it inspected. Continuing to drive with high‑voltage or inverter faults can escalate repair scope. Our advisors can guide you on next steps and arrange a quick evaluation in Murray.
- Head to 5500 S State St, Murray, UT 84107 for inspection
- Use roadside assistance if the vehicle will not enter Ready
- Schedule service for priority diagnosis
Why should I get my 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev diagnosed at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray vs a parts store free scan?
Parts stores read generic OBD-II codes; our Chevrolet team uses GM GDS2 and service information to perform full diagnostics, isolation testing, and provide a written repair plan.
Codes can have multiple root causes, and EV faults often require module-specific data, bi‑directional controls, and safety procedures. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray, factory-trained technicians access GM bulletins and verified test steps to pinpoint the issue and protect your high‑voltage system. You’ll receive clear results before any repair.
- Factory scan tool access to proprietary EV data
- Isolation testing and repair verification, not just code reading
- Check service specials before you book
Will resetting the check engine light on my 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev pass emissions in Utah?
No—resetting clears OBD readiness monitors and typically causes an inspection failure until required drive cycles complete; many Utah EVs are exempt from emissions tests.
If your county exempts electric vehicles, your Spark-Ev may not require a tailpipe test, but clearing codes still hides useful data. Instead, have us diagnose and correct the cause so any applicable readiness checks complete naturally. We can advise you on local requirements and confirm system status.
- We can pre-check OBD readiness before you test
- Avoid clearing codes right before inspection
- Schedule an appointment for a proper fix
What does a flashing check engine light mean on a 2014 Chevrolet Spark-Ev?
On GM vehicles, a flashing MIL signals a condition that can damage the powertrain if you continue driving—stop and tow the vehicle to prevent further harm.
While the Spark-Ev has no fuel-related misfires, a flashing or escalating warning can indicate serious EV powertrain or high‑voltage issues. Park safely and contact our Murray service team for guidance. Prompt evaluation reduces risk to components like the inverter, contactors, and battery modules.
- Do not drive if warnings intensify or the car won’t go Ready
- Protect high‑voltage components by towing instead of driving
