Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe signals an active misfire or condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven. A flashing indicator is more urgent than a steady light: it often means incomplete combustion is occurring, which raises temperatures and emissions and risks expensive repairs. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics and will perform a fast, thorough scan to isolate ignition, fuel, or sensor faults. We explain repair options clearly, use genuine Hyundai parts to restore performance, and document warranty eligibility when applicable. Immediate service reduces long-term costs and preserves vehicle reliability. Review current service specials before you arrive and schedule appointment online to get prioritized attention from certified Hyundai technicians.

Choosing Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria ensures transparency—our estimates detail parts, labor, and warranty coverage, and we use original equipment parts for lasting results.
