Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2024 Hyundai Kona?

Dealership scan fees typically range from complimentary to about $80–$150 depending on promotions; Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa frequently runs service specials to reduce or waive diagnostic fees. See our Service Specials for current offers.
Accurate diagnostics at our dealership reduce unnecessary repairs and deliver immediate savings by identifying the true issue quickly.

Any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.

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

Start with the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common cause and takes seconds to check and reseal.
Look for obvious signs—fuel smell, smoke, or unusual noises—and note any recent fills or fuel quality concerns.
Check simple maintenance items: oil level, coolant level, and battery connections; these can sometimes trigger codes indirectly.
If the light remains after simple checks, schedule a diagnostic at our dealership so factory-trained technicians can read codes and recommend the correct repair.

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

It indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an issue—ranging from minor (evap leak, loose gas cap) to serious (misfire, catalytic converter problem).
Light on steady: the car is usually drivable but should be evaluated soon to prevent damage.
Light flashing: indicates an active misfire or condition that could damage the catalytic converter—stop driving and have it inspected immediately.
Our technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to pinpoint causes, provide accurate estimates, and perform warranty-eligible repairs when needed.

How long does a check engine light service take?

A code scan and initial inspection typically take 15–45 minutes; we provide a clear estimate after the initial scan.
Minor fixes (tightening a gas cap, replacing a sensor) can be completed within an hour or two.
More involved repairs—such as catalytic converter, fuel system, or engine repairs—may require parts ordering and can take a day or more; we explain timelines and options up front.
Choosing our dealership often yields faster, more reliable repairs and long-term cost savings compared with repeated independent visits; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2024 Hyundai Kona Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2024 Hyundai Kona usually signals an engine misfire or a condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter. Continued driving with a flashing light risks severe engine or emissions system damage and may increase repair costs substantially. If you experience a flashing light, stop driving as soon as it is safe and arrange immediate inspection with Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa. Our technicians will perform a priority diagnostic, identify misfires, ignition or fuel delivery issues, and recommend repairs. Prompt dealership service protects your Kona, preserves warranty eligibility for covered items, and often reduces total repair expense by preventing secondary failures.

2024 Hyundai Kona Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Hyundai Kona can be done with an OBD-II scanner or by addressing the underlying issue and allowing the system to clear codes. However, a manual reset without repair masks the problem and can lead to repeated failures and denied warranty claims. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa, we recommend a full diagnostic and certified repair so the root cause is corrected and the reset is permanent. Our service team uses Hyundai-approved tools, installs OEM parts, and documents repairs to protect your warranty—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership. This approach provides immediate peace of mind and long-term savings.

2024 Hyundai Kona Check Engine Light Codes

The most common codes for a 2024 Hyundai Kona include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor), P0300–P0304 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean conditions), and P0455 (evap leak). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a faulty O2 sensor may cost a few hundred dollars to replace but, if left, can damage the catalytic converter—replacement can cost $1,000–$2,500 or more. Misfires can erode engine components and lead to costly repairs. Evap leaks may be minor but can cause failed emissions tests and repeat visits. Addressing codes quickly at our dealership minimizes parts wear, reduces long-term expense, and ensures warranty-covered defects are properly repaired by factory-trained technicians.
