I’ve noticed a bright orange light on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 dashboard lately, and I’m looking for some clarity on what it means.

From what I’ve read, this light seems to relate to the 12-volt battery charging system, which I believe is common in electric vehicles. Still, I’d love to hear from others who might have experienced this.

Questions I’m Considering:

  • Is this light an indication of a problem, or is it just part of normal operation?
  • Should I be worried about it, or is it something typical for the Ioniq 5?
  • Are there specific scenarios that trigger this light?

It would really help to get some reassurance or any additional insights from fellow Ioniq 5 owners. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the info! I noticed mine turned on after a long drive. Could that be an overheating issue?

Yes, long drives can cause the battery to heat up. If the orange light stays on, it might be wise to pull over and let the car cool down, just to be safe.

My manual suggests doing a system reset if the light persists. Has anyone tried that? Did it work?

I’ve never heard of that! Is it complicated? I might need a guide for it.

Not at all! You just disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it. Just remember to have your radio code ready!

Every time I see that orange light, I panic a little! Hoping it’s just a temporary glitch. Anyone experienced that before?

Yes! I think it happens to everyone at some point. Just try not to freak out too much—most times it can be reset or resolved easily.

Ha! I can relate. The first time it happened, I thought my car was about to explode!

That would definitely be a wild way to get attention! But seriously, it’s always best to check the manual first.

Good point, mbarrett! It’s amazing how often the manual has quick fixes for common issues. Orange light or not, keeping a calm mindset helps!

Exactly! But I’m always too eager to figure things out without reading it first.

I had the orange light come on unexpectedly too! It turned out my tire pressure was low. Have you checked that yet?

If the orange light pops up suddenly, it’s wise to get it checked as soon as possible. Ignoring it may lead to more serious problems down the line.

I agree with jane20. It’s not worth risking major repairs. A quick diagnostic at a dealer can save you a lot in the long run.

What’s the first thing you should do if this light comes on? Can it be reset, or does it require professional help?

Typically, a reset isn’t possible without addressing the issue first. It’s best to have a professional look at it. They can run diagnostics to understand the root cause better.
