Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Basic diagnostics using our OBD-II scanner typically take 30–60 minutes; this identifies stored codes and pending issues for a 2024 Hyundai Tucson.
• Minor repairs (tighten gas cap, clear codes, replace sensor) can often be completed the same day.
• Complex repairs—ignition/misfire diagnostics, catalytic converter or engine work—may require additional parts and multiple hours or a day.
• Doing service at Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa saves time: factory-trained technicians and OEM parts mean faster, accurate repairs and fewer repeat visits.

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

• The light signals the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an issue—from minor emissions faults to engine misfires—recorded as a fault code.
• Codes can indicate anything from a loose gas cap or EVAP leak to oxygen sensor, ignition, or catalytic converter problems.
• An illuminated steady light usually means scheduled diagnostics; a flashing light indicates an immediate mechanical risk that requires prompt attention.
• Certified dealership diagnostics ensure accurate code reading and repair recommendations that protect warranty coverage and long-term ownership costs.
