2014 Hyundai Tucson Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding the most common codes for a 2014 Hyundai Tucson helps drivers in Colorado make informed decisions quickly. The typical codes we see at Arapahoe Hyundai in Centennial and the surrounding Denver suburbs include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel system lean), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), and P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire). Left unaddressed, these issues can drive up fuel costs, reduce performance, and cause catalytic converter damage—repairs that escalate from modest sensor replacements to expensive exhaust system work. At Arapahoe Hyundai, our certified technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to identify whether a simple sensor swap, fuel system service, or more involved repair is required. Choosing dealership service often costs less over time: accurate diagnostics reduce parts guesswork, quick OEM repairs restore fuel economy, and warranty coverage prevents repeat expenses. We pride ourselves on clear pricing, genuine Hyundai parts, and same-day turnarounds when possible.
