2018 Hyundai Ioniq Electric Check Engine Light Codes

The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Electric can record a range of check engine codes that signal battery management, motor controller, sensor, or communication issues. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our factory-trained technicians decode common fault codes such as battery temperature sensor faults, high-voltage system alerts, and CAN-bus communication errors. Ignoring these codes can lead to diminished range, reduced performance, and in some cases more costly repairs to the electric drive system or auxiliary electronics. For instance, an unaddressed high-voltage battery temperature issue can accelerate battery degradation and reduce usable range—leading to replacement costs that far exceed a timely diagnostic and targeted repair. Our team provides a clear estimate, explains immediate and long-term savings of OEM repairs, and uses Hyundai-approved procedures and parts to protect vehicle value. For transparency and convenience, you can schedule service online, and we encourage checking current service specials before your visit to maximize savings.
