Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric usually indicates an active fault that requires immediate attention — for EVs this can mean a severe charging system, inverter, or high-voltage battery issue. Unlike a steady light that can sometimes indicate a less urgent condition, a flashing indicator often signals that continued driving could risk further damage or reduce battery life. At Arapahoe Hyundai in Colorado we treat flashing engine lights as urgent: our certified technicians perform priority diagnostics using OEM-grade tools to read battery management and powertrain control modules, isolating the cause and recommending the correct repair path. Addressing a flashing light promptly saves money over time by preventing cascading failures, preserving range (the Ioniq Electric has an EPA range near 170 miles when healthy), and maintaining battery capacity. We offer clear pricing, OEM parts, and options for service financing to make repairs manageable.
