We combine fast turnarounds with genuine OEM parts to protect long-term vehicle health.

2021 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid might clear the indicator temporarily, but without addressing the underlying fault the light will likely return and the issue could worsen. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria we recommend a full diagnostic rather than a simple reset: our technicians read codes, verify live data, and confirm repairs using OEM procedures to ensure durability and preserve warranty coverage. We explain every repair option and use OEM parts to maintain performance and battery life. Resets performed at our dealership accompany documented repairs and test drives to confirm the fault is resolved. That transparency reduces repeat visits and yields immediate and long-term savings compared with band-aid fixes. If you prefer to arrange service at your convenience, schedule appointment online and check current service specials before you arrive.

2021 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid include oxygen sensor (O2) faults, EV battery state warnings, charging system faults, and catalytic converter efficiency codes. Each carries different consequences: an O2 sensor left unchecked can degrade fuel economy and emissions compliance; charging-system problems reduce electric range and increase engine load; and untreated converter issues can lead to costly replacements. In Peoria, Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria provides code-specific estimates and prioritizes repairs that optimize safety and long-term ownership costs. Our certified technicians use dealership-level tools to diagnose hybrid-specific fault trees and explain cost vs. benefit options.
