Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is an urgent indicator that the engine is misfiring or otherwise running in a way that can cause immediate damage to the catalytic converter and other components. If you notice a flashing light, reduce speed and avoid heavy loads, then contact Stevinson Hyundai in Colorado to arrange service. Our factory-trained technicians diagnose misfires quickly using OEM diagnostic equipment and can often determine whether the issue is ignition-related, fuel system, or a sensor failure. Addressing a flashing light promptly prevents more expensive repairs down the road; we emphasize immediate and long-term savings by fixing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. We also offer service financing so you can authorize critical repairs right away. Check our service specials for discounts and loyalty benefits, and schedule service online to get a fast appointment.

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz include P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuits). Left unaddressed, P0171/P0174 can lead to poor fuel economy and premature component wear; P0420 may indicate catalytic converter problems that escalate into costly replacements; misfires (P030x) can damage the converter quickly; oxygen sensor faults reduce engine efficiency and emissions compliance. At Stevinson Hyundai serving Colorado drivers, we interpret these codes with context — live data, freeze-frame data, and road testing — to avoid unnecessary parts replacement. Our service process focuses on accurate diagnosis, OEM parts, and transparent pricing so you save immediately on precise repairs and long-term by avoiding repeat failures. We frequently offer promotions through our service specials, and you can schedule service online for the earliest available slot.
