2010 Hyundai Accent Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on a 2010 Hyundai Accent include misfire codes (P0300 series), oxygen sensor codes (P0135 series), fuel trim codes (P0171/P0174), catalytic efficiency codes (P0420), and evaporative emissions leaks (P0442). Misfires can lead to poor fuel economy and damage to the catalytic converter if not repaired —replacement of the converter can be costly, so prompt attention avoids higher repair bills. A failing oxygen sensor affects fuel mixture and fuel economy; replacing the sensor is far less expensive than repairing downstream damage. Evap system leaks often stem from worn hoses or a faulty gas cap and are simple, inexpensive fixes when diagnosed quickly. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria, our technicians assess code context, perform targeted tests, and present the most cost-effective repair path using OEM parts. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent alternatives when you factor in accuracy, warranty protection, and long-term savings.
