2017 Volkswagen e-Golf Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent diagnostic trouble codes for a 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf in Avondale, AZ relate to battery management sensors, charging circuit faults, and thermal or communication errors between the battery management system and vehicle control modules.
