Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light in your 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric should prompt immediate attention: a flashing light often indicates a severe fault that could be damaging critical components such as the inverter, high-voltage battery, or motor control electronics. Driving with a flashing light risks further damage and could reduce the high-voltage battery’s lifespan or lead to sudden power loss. At Stevinson Hyundai in Colorado, our Hyundai-certified technicians use factory diagnostics to isolate the source quickly and recommend a repair plan focused on preserving range and system health. We prioritize transparent pricing and educate you on how prompt repair saves you money over time, since addressing an early electrical fault is typically far less costly than replacing affected components later. Check our service specials for current offers, and when a flashing light appears, don’t delay — schedule service online or contact us to arrange immediate inspection and protection for your Kona Electric.

2022 Hyundai Kona Electric Check Engine Light Codes
