Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a serious warning that should prompt immediate attention.

Choosing our dealership means factory-trained techs, OEM parts, and service financing options so you can start repairs now and pay over time.

2016 Hyundai Tucson Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Tucson may seem straightforward, but it’s important to address the underlying fault first. A reset without repair can mask problems, lead to repeated failures, and void warranties. At Arapahoe Hyundai, we follow OEM procedures: diagnose the code, document the repair, replace or adjust components with genuine Hyundai parts when needed, and then clear codes only after confirming the fault is resolved. This approach ensures transparency, maintains warranty coverage, and preserves vehicle longevity. Our certified technicians explain the issue, the recommended fix, the time estimate, and any available discounts so you see immediate and long-term savings. We also offer service financing to help you manage cost while protecting your Tucson’s performance. To ensure the reset is permanent and backed by quality workmanship, schedule service and review our current service specials before arrival — trust Arapahoe Hyundai for reliable, warranty-compliant care.

2016 Hyundai Tucson Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Hyundai Tucson often relate to oxygen sensors (P013x), catalytic efficiency (P0420), misfires (P030x), EVAP system faults (P044x), and MAF sensor issues (P010x). Each code carries potential costs if left untreated: oxygen sensor failure reduces fuel efficiency and can lead to catalytic damage; unresolved misfires can harm pistons and converters; EVAP leaks may fail emissions tests and affect performance. At Arapahoe Hyundai in Colorado, we combine local convenience with Hyundai-certified diagnostics to determine the precise code and recommend cost-effective repairs. Our technicians use factory tools to provide accurate estimates and prioritize fixes that save you money long-term by avoiding repeat services. We also document warranty coverage — any repairs under warranty must be done at a certified dealership, which we handle efficiently.
