2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid can be a simple electronic reset or part of a full repair. While some drivers attempt a reset at home, a true fix requires diagnosing the root cause so the code does not return. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ we follow OEM procedures to read freeze-frame data, clear codes, and perform any necessary repairs using genuine Hyundai parts. This approach preserves warranties, maintains hybrid system performance, and avoids repeated visits that cost time and money. Our certified technicians document the issue, explain recommended repairs, and present transparent pricing so you understand immediate savings and long-term value. We also offer service financing to get necessary repairs done right away and help spread the cost. Before you reset a code on your own, schedule service with our service team and review available service specials to maximize savings and reliability.

2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), EVAP system leaks (P0440–P0455), and misfire codes (P0300–P0312). Left unresolved, these issues can reduce fuel economy — this model normally achieves excellent MPG, so inefficiency quickly adds up — increase emissions, and, in hybrid systems, stress additional drivetrain components leading to costly repairs.

We emphasize convenience with quick turnaround, comfortable customer amenities, and parts sourced directly from Hyundai. Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time because accurate diagnostics prevent repeat failures and protect hybrid components.
