Chevrolet Sonic Error / Fault Codes List

Chevrolet Sonic Error / Fault Codes List

These are the code numbers that may appear on your Chevy Sonic dashboard due to action that must be taken, or some form of error and fault. These are not the fault codes that are generated by diagnostic fault code readers.


Rather than vehicle messages, your Chevy Sonic may display code numbers in the driver information center. Some of these codes may appear with the Service Vehicle Soon light (the car and wrench warning light).
