2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine codes for the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit). Left unattended, each can escalate: a P0300 misfire can ruin a catalytic converter (costly to replace), P0420 often means reduced emissions control efficiency and failed emissions tests, and persistent fuel-trim issues reduce fuel economy and accelerate engine wear. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria we combine code reading with comprehensive diagnostics to pinpoint root causes and present cost-effective repair plans. Choosing dealership service delivers precise repair using OEM parts, certified technicians, and warranty protection when applicable — often saving money over time compared with repeated, piecemeal fixes.
