2016 Chevrolet Spark EV Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Chevrolet Spark EV often relate to battery management sensors, high-voltage system communications, and electrical connectors — each with distinct consequences if ignored. For example, a battery management sensor fault can reduce available range and accelerate degradation; the cost of ignoring this can far exceed early repair because battery replacements are expensive. Communication errors between modules can lead to limp-home modes that limit performance and create unsafe conditions. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray in Murray, UT, we prioritize precise diagnosis and explain the cost impact of delaying repairs so you can make informed decisions. Our certified technicians use OEM tools to interpret codes and recommend economical, warranty-backed solutions. Using genuine Chevrolet parts and scheduled maintenance reduces long-term expense and maintains resale value.
