Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2014 Hyundai Accent signals a severe condition—often a misfire that can allow unburned fuel into the exhaust stream and damage the catalytic converter. That kind of damage increases repair costs significantly if not addressed immediately. When the light flashes, pull over safely and avoid heavy throttle; then contact Arapahoe Hyundai for urgent diagnostics. Our technicians use Hyundai-approved diagnostic tools to isolate misfires, fuel delivery issues, ignition faults, or sensor failures. Because catalytic converter repair or replacement can be expensive and may take your vehicle out of service longer, rapid dealer-level diagnosis both reduces immediate risk and lowers long-term expense. We offer transparent estimates, OEM parts, and factory-trained techs who complete repairs correctly the first time—translating into dependable performance and fewer return visits. Check available options and discounts under our service specials, and if you need time to manage payments, ask about service financing. Don’t wait with a flashing light; schedule service online now or call Arapahoe Hyundai for priority handling and expert care.

2014 Hyundai Accent Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2014 Hyundai Accent include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean condition), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random/multi-cylinder misfire), and P0130–P0167 family codes related to oxygen sensor performance. Left unresolved, P0171/P0174 can lead to poor fuel economy and premature spark plug wear; P0420 left unchecked may require catalytic converter replacement, which is costly. Misfire codes often damage catalytic converters if not quickly corrected, multiplying repair expense. At Arapahoe Hyundai in Colorado, our team identifies the code, explains cost-effective repair options, and prioritizes fixes that preserve fuel economy and component life—helping you avoid higher downstream costs. We blend certified expertise, OEM parts, and a customer-focused process that reduces repeat visits.
