What is Hybrid System Warning Light?

It may come with a message such as “Check hybrid system”. The car may limit power or refuse to start. Cooling problems in the battery or inverter, such as a blocked battery fan intake, are common triggers. Keeping the battery cooling air intakes clear helps prevent overheating warnings.

How it works

The hybrid control unit monitors voltages, temperatures and insulation resistance and stores codes when values are out of range.

Why it matters for your car

Do not open or touch orange high-voltage cables or components. Have the car checked by a workshop qualified for high-voltage work.
