2026 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2026 Hyundai Sonata may seem simple, but a true reset that prevents recurrence requires a thorough diagnostic rather than clearing codes blindly. At Stevinson Hyundai in CO our technicians start with a full scan of your Sonata’s engine control module to identify the root cause, then document the repair path and warranty coverage. Clearing a code without repair only hides the symptom and can lead to repeat visits or larger failures. Our service advisors will explain OEM-recommended fixes, show cost comparisons, and outline immediate and long-term savings from doing the job correctly the first time. We use genuine Hyundai parts and factory procedures, so warranty work remains valid and your vehicle maintains peak reliability. Need a quick appointment?

Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2026 Hyundai Sonata usually signals a more urgent condition—often a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven hard. When you see a flashing light, bring your Sonata to Stevinson Hyundai in CO immediately so our certified technicians can perform a prioritized inspection. We will assess ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, and emissions components, explain repair urgency, and recommend OEM parts to ensure long-term dependability. Acting quickly saves both time and money—delay can transform a simple repair into a costly exhaust system replacement. We routinely offer service financing and targeted service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost, and our service team will outline warranty implications: any repair covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership. For fast attention and a clear plan, schedule service online today or visit our service center at Stevinson Hyundai.
2026 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes
Common codes for the 2026 Hyundai Sonata include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), catalytic efficiency issues (P0420), and ignition misfires (P0300 series). Each code carries a potential cost when left unaddressed: an unresolved oxygen sensor fault reduces fuel economy and can increase emissions fines or failed inspections; a P0420 left unchecked may require catalytic converter replacement—a much larger expense; persistent misfires risk severe exhaust damage. At Stevinson Hyundai in CO our factory-trained technicians read codes, perform targeted testing, and provide clear repair estimates and timelines. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time because we prevent repeat failures, use OEM parts, and uphold warranty protections that extend vehicle life.
