We also include a battery and charging system inspection because failing batteries or weak alternators can produce erratic electrical signals that trigger warnings.

2012 Hyundai Genesis Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis include P0300-series misfire codes, P0420 catalytic converter efficiency, P0171/P0174 fuel trim or vacuum issues, and oxygen sensor faults. Left unaddressed, misfires (P0300) can ruin the catalytic converter — repairing that secondary damage is far costlier than addressing ignition coils or spark plugs early. Codes that point to the catalytic converter (P0420) often stem from long-term neglected fuel or ignition issues; addressing upstream parts and replacing sensors as needed preserves emissions compliance and resale value. Oxygen sensor faults reduce fuel efficiency and increase emissions; timely sensor replacement with OEM parts restores proper engine control and saves fuel costs over time. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria our technicians interpret codes in the context of vehicle history and battery/charging health, delivering an accurate plan of repair that minimizes downtime and expense. We provide transparent, itemized estimates, OEM parts, and service financing to help you manage cost while protecting long-term vehicle health.
