Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2020 Hyundai Sonata typically signals a severe issue such as a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. When the light flashes, stop driving as soon as it is safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately by Arapahoe Hyundai in Colorado. Our certified technicians prioritize flashing-light cases, performing rapid diagnostics and road tests to locate misfires, fuel delivery faults, or ignition failures. We use OEM parts and calibrated equipment to correct problems the first time, minimizing the chance of recurrence and protecting long-term engine performance.

We offer transparent estimates and explain immediate and downstream cost benefits of timely repairs: fixing a misfire early preserves the catalytic converter and avoids substantially higher replacement costs later. Take advantage of our current service specials and ask about service financing so you can address urgent repairs now and spread payments over time. Our customer service team will keep you informed at every step and ensure your Sonata returns to safe, efficient operation.

Don’t delay — to protect your vehicle and avoid larger bills, schedule service online or contact Arapahoe Hyundai to speak with a service advisor right away.

2020 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Hyundai Sonata should only follow a verified repair. While some devices clear codes, resetting without repair can mask a persistent fault and lead to bigger problems. At Arapahoe Hyundai, we diagnose the underlying code and repair with OEM parts, then perform a proper reset and confirm all systems are within factory tolerances. This ensures accurate long-term operation and preserves warranty coverage for eligible repairs. Our transparent process means you get a clear estimate, documented repairs, and the assurance that any warranty work is completed at a certified dealership to protect coverage.

Choosing us often results in lower lifetime cost: accurate diagnosis avoids repeat visits and premature part replacement. We also provide courtesy inspections, vehicle health reports, and loyalty offers through our service team; check our service specials before you arrive. To schedule a verified reset and repair, schedule service online for a time that fits your schedule.

2020 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for the 2020 Hyundai Sonata include oxygen sensor faults (P013x), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), misfire codes (P030x), and EVAP system leaks (P044x). Each code points to a specific system: O2 sensors and catalytic issues affect emissions and fuel economy, while misfires can harm engine internals and the exhaust system. Ignoring these warnings can escalate repair costs dramatically — for example, a simple sensor replacement is inexpensive compared to the cost of replacing a damaged catalytic converter or repairing engine damage from a prolonged misfire.

At Arapahoe Hyundai in Colorado we provide local owners with fast, accurate diagnostics and clear pricing. Our factory-trained technicians explain the cost-to-benefit of each repair and how timely work saves money long term. We use OEM parts, offer warranty-backed repairs, and provide service financing so you can address issues now. Take advantage of our convenient online options and schedule appointment to get a fast diagnosis; check current service specials to maximize savings.
