Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2010 Hyundai Sonata is an urgent warning — it often indicates a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and increase the risk of further engine harm. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we instruct drivers to stop driving when safe and bring the vehicle in immediately so our certified technicians can perform a prioritized diagnostic. A swift, accurate diagnosis prevents compounded damage and reduces long-term repair expenses; deferring a flashing-light issue commonly results in much higher parts and labor costs. We use OEM parts, precise testing equipment, and factory procedures to correct the root cause rather than masking symptoms. Customers benefit from clear estimates, service financing options to manage cost, and access to current service specials that lower out-of-pocket expense. To protect your Sonata’s performance and emissions systems, schedule service online or contact our team for immediate guidance.

2010 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2010 Hyundai Sonata is a simple step, but it’s not a solution unless the underlying fault has been addressed. At Larry H.

We prioritize transparency—showing findings, repair options, and the long-term savings of correct, factory-approved work. When repairs are covered under warranty, those repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; our service advisors will make that simple for you.

Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we diagnose codes precisely, outline repair costs up front, and apply OEM parts to deliver lasting fixes that often cost less over time than repeated independent repairs.
