2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT may be achieved with a scan tool that clears stored codes, but clearing a code without diagnosing the cause only hides the problem and risks further damage. Our advice: bring the vehicle to Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria where certified technicians run comprehensive diagnostics, identify the root cause, and repair with OEM parts to protect reliability and warranty coverage. Dealer service offers documented repairs that support long-term savings and maintain factory warranties; any warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We practice transparent pricing, provide written estimates, and often present lower total-cost solutions versus independent shops because we fix the issue right the first time. Take advantage of our service financing options and current service specials. To get started, schedule appointment online for a prompt diagnostic visit.

2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for a 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT include P0171 (system too lean), P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), and P0455 (EVAP large leak).

At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we diagnose codes quickly, communicate repair costs and timelines, and use OEM parts to preserve your vehicle’s performance and resale value. Our skilled technicians use factory tools to test sensors, fuel systems, and emissions components; we show test results, recommend repairs, and apply available service specials to lower your out-of-pocket expense.
