Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5?

• Most common causes on the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 include battery management system alerts, 12V electrical faults, charging-system errors, and traction motor or inverter notifications.
• If left unaddressed, small electrical issues can escalate to costly repairs—repairing a 12V circuit or connector is inexpensive, while inverter or battery work can be significantly more costly.

• Remember: any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper calibration.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5?

• The light indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system has detected a fault—this can range from a minor 12V accessory issue to a serious drive system or battery management problem.
• On an electric vehicle like the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5, the alert often points to electrical, charging, or powertrain-control system codes rather than fuel- or exhaust-related trouble.
• Early dealer diagnosis helps prevent escalation; our factory-trained technicians use OEM tools to identify the specific code and recommend the efficient repair path.
• Warranty-covered diagnostics and repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to retain protection and ensure the work meets OEM standards.

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

• First, note any change in vehicle behavior—loss of power, odd noises, or charging issues—and safely pull over if needed.
• Check the 12V system condition and charging cable connection before driving further; a loose connector or depleted 12V can trigger alerts on the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5.
• Contact our service team for guidance; our technicians can advise whether it’s safe to drive or if towing to the dealership is required.
• Having the vehicle inspected at a certified dealership preserves warranty coverage and often yields immediate and long-term cost savings versus piecemeal repairs.
