What are the defects?
The airflow sensor located within the petrol engine may fail. Failure of the airflow sensor will be indicated by a deterioration in vehicle performance, causing the EV system warning lamp to turn on.
If the EV warning lamp does turn on, the petrol engine may stop, which will prevent charging of the main battery and therefore the car cannot be driven.
