I had a similar issue that ended up being a simple software update. Have you checked if your Ioniq needs an update?

22

That’s a good point, Richardson! Sometimes, updates can fix strange warnings. It’s worth checking the settings on the dashboard.

23

I just hope I don’t have to take my car in again! The dealership always tries to upsell unnecessary services when I go for small issues.

24

Haha, I feel you! They can be like car salespeople disguised as mechanics. But seriously, sometimes they do catch critical issues before they escalate.

25

Do you guys think it could also just be a glitch? My friend’s Ioniq had lights going haywire for no reason.

26

It’s possible! Electronic systems can be finicky. Reflecting back, my previous car had a similar experience, and disconnecting the battery for a short time fixed it.

Hey everyone! I just noticed the orange light on my Ioniq 5 dashboard too. What does it usually indicate? Any advice would be great!

28

The orange light usually indicates a warning related to the EV system. It can mean several things, so don’t panic! Check your manual for specifics.

I had the orange light pop up last month! Turned out it was just a software update needed. I took it to the dealer, and it was an easy fix.

30

That’s interesting! Did they notify you about the update, or did you find out during your visit?

31

I also experienced the orange light. In my case, it was linked to the battery management system. If you see it, check your charging status first.

32

Good point! Sometimes it’s just a matter of checking the basics—like battery levels!

33

My orange light stayed on for days! I was freaking out but ended up just needing a reset. Pulled the fuse and it was gone! No idea why it worked.

So, pulling the fuse actually worked for you? That’s wild! If it ever happens to me, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!

I’ve had the orange light twice now, and both times it was related to my charger being faulty. Make sure you’re using a compatible charger!

That’s good advice! I never thought that could affect the dashboard lights. I’ll check my charger next time.

I think the orange light just loves to tease us! I have a friend who jokingly calls it the ‘mystery light.’ We all need to face it with humor!

Right?! Sometimes, I just laugh when things get stressful with the car! Thanks for the light-hearted take!
