Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 is a critical alert indicating active misfires or conditions that could cause immediate engine or emissions damage. A flashing lamp often means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust stream, which risks overheating and damaging the catalytic converter. At Arapahoe Hyundai in CO, our technicians treat a flashing check engine light as a priority: we perform a targeted diagnostic scan, road-test for misfire detection, and inspect ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and the exhaust system to pinpoint the cause. Acting quickly with a certified dealership can avoid the cascading costs of deferred repairs. We offer transparent estimates, OEM replacement parts, and service financing to get your vehicle repaired now and paid for over time. Check our current service specials for additional savings. To protect your Genesis' performance and emissions systems, schedule service online or call Arapahoe Hyundai for immediate attention.
2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 is simple in concept but should follow a correct diagnosis. Clearing codes without addressing the root cause can mask a recurring problem and potentially void warranty coverage. Arapahoe Hyundai's approach in Colorado is to first read and interpret the diagnostic trouble codes with OEM-level equipment, explain the underlying issue, and then perform the required repairs using Hyundai OEM parts and factory procedures. We provide clear estimates, technician certifications, and warranty protection on parts and labor—repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage. Customers benefit from immediate and long-term savings by avoiding repeated independent shop work; our precise repairs often cost less over time. Ready to proceed?

2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for the 2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 include P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor or EVAP codes.

At Arapahoe Hyundai in CO we explain the meaning of each code, outline cost-effective repair options, and prioritize long-term vehicle health. Our certified technicians use OEM parts and step-by-step diagnostics to avoid unnecessary replacements. We also offer service financing and rotating service specials to lower out-of-pocket expense.
