Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2014 Hyundai Accent is a signal of a potentially serious condition — commonly an active engine misfire — that can damage the catalytic converter and reduce drivability. A flashing light differs from a steady light because it often indicates an immediate mechanical issue rather than a minor sensor fault. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our factory-trained technicians perform a fast and thorough assessment using OEM diagnostic tools. We prioritize quick containment: if a misfire is present we perform controlled tests to determine whether the root cause is ignition, fuel delivery, or internal engine wear. Acting quickly prevents larger bills later — delaying repair can lead to catalytic converter failure, higher emissions, and lost fuel economy. We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and documented repairs that help preserve resale value and warranty eligibility (note: warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership). Check our service specials and consider service financing to address urgent repairs without delay. For safety and to protect your vehicle’s long-term health, schedule service online now or call our service team.

2014 Hyundai Accent Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Hyundai Accent can be simple, but resetting without addressing the underlying cause only masks a problem and risks repeat failures. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria we discourage temporary resets unless diagnostic work confirms the issue is resolved. Our approach: we scan the vehicle with dealer-grade tools, clear codes after repairs, and then road‑test to ensure the fault does not return. Using our service ensures OEM parts, proper calibration, and that any warranty remains intact — warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership. We also provide upfront pricing, documented findings, and options for service financing so you can get necessary maintenance done now and pay over time. Transparency is a priority: if a simple reset is appropriate, we’ll explain what caused the code, why the reset is safe, and what to watch for afterward. For clear communication, trusted repairs, and to take advantage of current service specials, schedule an appointment with our service advisors.

2014 Hyundai Accent Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2014 Hyundai Accent include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random or cylinder misfires), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor faults such as P0130. Each code points to a different cost and urgency profile: an oxygen sensor replacement is a moderate, timely repair that restores fuel efficiency, while unresolved misfires can damage the catalytic converter — a far more costly repair. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we diagnose codes precisely and explain the immediate cost as well as potential long-term savings from prompt repair. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore performance and protect emissions systems. We pride ourselves on efficient turnarounds, clear estimates, and warranty-backed work; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage. Ask about financing options and current service specials to make repairs more affordable.
