Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

  • Check for dashboard messages or audible alerts and note any change in performance, odors, or smoke.
  • Inspect the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common cause and is easy to secure or replace.
  • Look for fluid leaks, low oil, or overheating indicators before driving further.
  • If the vehicle runs rough or the light flashes, pull over safely and stop driving to avoid damage.
  • Schedule a certified diagnostic at Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa — warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership.

How long does a check engine light service take?

  • Initial diagnostic scanning typically takes 30–60 minutes with OEM-grade equipment.
  • Minor fixes (gas cap, sensor swap) can often be completed the same day; some repairs require parts and may take 1–2 days.
  • Complex repairs — misfires, catalytic converter replacement, hybrid-system issues — can take longer depending on parts availability.
  • Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa often completes work faster and at lower overall cost than many independent shops, thanks to factory-trained technicians and direct parts access.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid?

  • It signals a detected fault in the engine, emissions, or hybrid systems — from sensors to misfires to battery or inverter warnings.
  • Common triggers include oxygen sensor failures, misfires, catalytic converter issues, EV/hybrid system faults, or an evaporative emissions leak.
  • Some faults affect emissions only; others can reduce fuel economy or cause immediate drivability problems.
  • A certified diagnostic at our dealership identifies the exact code and recommended repair while protecting warranty coverage.
  • Addressing issues promptly saves money long-term by avoiding secondary damage and failed emissions tests.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light typically indicates an active misfire or another condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other components. Driving under these conditions increases the risk of severe, costly failures and can compromise safety. If the light flashes, stop driving as soon as it is safe and contact Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa for prompt inspection. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM-level scanners to catch misfires, ignition or fuel system faults, and hybrid-system anomalies before they escalate. Immediate dealership diagnosis preserves warranty eligibility and often avoids the much larger expense of downstream repairs. Use /service/schedule-appointment.htm to arrange urgent attention and prevent long-term damage.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting a check engine light with an OBD-II tool or by disconnecting the battery may temporarily extinguish the lamp, but it does not fix the underlying fault. Codes will usually return if the root cause remains. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa we recommend a full diagnostic and proper repair so the issue is resolved permanently. Our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time by avoiding repeat visits and ensuring correct part fitment and calibration. Warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Book an appointment through /service/schedule-appointment.htm and take advantage of dealer service specials at /specials/service.htm for immediate and long-term savings.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0135/P0136 (oxygen sensor), P0171 (system too lean), and P0455 (evaporative system leak). Ignoring these codes can lead to higher fuel consumption, failed emissions tests, and severe component damage—catalytic converter replacement alone can cost $1,000–$2,500 or more. Timely diagnosis at Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa prevents escalation and yields immediate and long-term savings by preserving fuel economy and avoiding cascading failures. Our technicians use Hyundai-specific procedures to interpret codes correctly and recommend cost-effective repairs with OEM parts and warranty protection.
