2014 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes

The most common codes for a 2014 Hyundai Sonata include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171 (system too lean), P0455 (evaporative emission system leak), and oxygen sensor codes. Left unaddressed, each can create progressive costs: repeated misfires can damage pistons and catalytic converters, with converter replacements running into the thousands; a persistent lean condition increases fuel consumption and accelerates engine wear; and evaporative leaks reduce fuel efficiency and may cause failed emissions tests. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our certified technicians use OEM scanners and factory procedures to identify exact causes and avoid unnecessary parts replacement. We provide clear, itemized estimates, explain immediate and long-term savings, and advise on warranty coverage. For convenience, you can schedule service online, check current service specials, and take advantage of service financing to manage costs while protecting your Sonata’s longevity.
