How to Reset the Fault Light on a New Bora?
2 Answers
Turn off the ignition, and with your left hand, press and hold the 0.0 button at the bottom right corner without releasing it. With your right hand, turn on the ignition (do not start the engine, and keep holding the button with your left hand). At this point, a non-flashing wrench symbol will appear on the dashboard. After completing the previous step, release the left hand and press the button at the bottom left corner once, and the wrench symbol will disappear. Alternatively, visit an auto repair shop for maintenance. Internal vehicle components will wear out over time, reminding the owner to replace them promptly. Additionally, the maintenance light needs to be reset.
With years of experience in car repair, when encountering a fault light on the New Bora, the first step is usually to identify which light is on, such as the engine light or ABS light. A common method is to connect an OBD scanner to the small port under the steering wheel; reading the fault code will pinpoint the issue, like a faulty sensor or a minor glitch. Clearing the code is straightforward—just select 'clear' on the tool—but make sure to fix the underlying issue first, or the light will come back on. Regular maintenance is key: check sensors and circuits periodically, ensure fluids aren't expired, as prevention is better than repair to avoid roadside breakdowns. In winter, cold starts may trigger the light; warming up the car before retrying helps. Summer often brings wiring aging issues. Always visit a reputable shop with specialized software for quick and safe fixes, and avoid online home remedies that could damage the system and cost more to fix.
