Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2010 Hyundai Tucson is an urgent alert that indicates active engine misfires or conditions that can damage catalytic converters if driven. When the light flashes, do not delay — stop driving when safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately at Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ. Our factory-trained technicians will perform a prioritized inspection using OEM diagnostic tools to identify misfires, coil or spark plug failures, and any related fuel or ignition system issues.
