Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?
On a 2026 Volkswagen ID. Buzz, start with basics unique to electric vehicles: confirm the charging cable is properly connected and the vehicle has adequate state of charge. Check the 12V battery and high-voltage system indicator on the instrument cluster — some faults stem from the auxiliary electrical system. Look for visible alerts in the infotainment system or messages that explain severity or next steps. A soft reset (power cycle) can clear transient faults, but persistent warnings should be inspected by our technicians to protect warranty coverage. For warranty-covered repairs, remember they must be performed at a certified dealership like Nalley Volkswagen of Alpharetta to preserve coverage and avoid long-term cost risk.
