2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring Check Engine Light Codes

The engine control module on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring stores standardized fault codes that point to systems and specific components. In Peoria, AZ, at Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria we commonly see P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), oxygen sensor codes, and misfire codes like P0300–P0304. If left unfixed, a P0420 can mean reduced fuel efficiency and ultimately a costly catalytic converter replacement; P0171/P0174 can cause poor drivability and higher fuel bills; persistent misfires damage the catalytic converter and lead to expensive downstream repairs. Our factory-trained technicians run a complete scan, pinpoint root causes, and provide transparent estimates that show immediate savings in fuel and performance, plus long-term value by preventing major repairs. Choosing dealership service means OEM parts, certified diagnostics, warranty protection, and comfortable waiting areas. We advise addressing codes early and recommend using our online features to schedule service or review current service specials to maximize value.
