Check Engine Light Reset for 2018 Hyundai Accent

Resetting the check engine light on a 2018 Hyundai Accent can be tempting, but a reset without a full diagnostic may mask underlying problems. Our team at Larry H.

We explain each step, provide written estimates, and highlight the immediate and long-term savings of using OEM parts—less frequent failures and better fuel economy over the life of your Accent. If you need a reset or a full diagnosis, schedule service online, and don’t forget to review our current service specials before you visit. We also provide service financing to help you get repairs now and pay later, and every warranty-covered repair must be completed at our certified dealership to maintain protection.

2018 Hyundai Accent Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2018 Hyundai Accent include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300-P0304 (engine misfire), P0130-P0167 (oxygen sensor/circuit), and P0171/P0174 (system too lean). Left unaddressed, a P0420 can lead to failing emissions tests and costly catalytic converter replacement; misfires can damage the catalytic converter and reduce performance; oxygen sensor faults harm fuel economy and increase emissions. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria, we translate codes into clear, prioritized fixes and explain cost implications so you can choose the right repair path.

Choosing our dealership often results in lower overall ownership costs because accurate diagnostics prevent unnecessary part replacements and extend component life.
