Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport signals a potentially serious misfire that can damage the catalytic converter and reduce drivability. When the light flashes, immediate attention is important — continued driving can magnify repair costs and put you at risk of larger engine damage. At Arapahoe Hyundai in CO, our certified technicians use OEM diagnostic equipment to isolate misfires, ignition faults, or fuel delivery issues quickly and accurately. We emphasize transparent pricing and long-term savings: a timely repair prevents costly downstream failures and preserves fuel efficiency. Many customers find our dealership pricing competitive with local independents while gaining the advantage of factory training, genuine Hyundai parts, and warranty protection (repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership).

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean condition), P0300–P0304 (engine misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), and oxygen sensor codes such as P0133. Left untreated, a P0171 lean condition can lead to poor performance and higher fuel costs; misfires (P030x) can damage the catalytic converter, increasing repair bills substantially. A P0420 can indicate catalyst deterioration that may require replacement — an expensive repair avoided by addressing upstream issues early.

We combine technical expertise with customer-focused service: fast turnarounds, comfort amenities, and certified technicians who stand behind their work.
