2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz include P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/lean condition), P0300-P0304 (misfires), and P0420 (catalyst efficiency). Ignoring these codes can increase fuel costs, cause drivability issues, and lead to expensive components like the catalytic converter needing replacement. At Arapahoe Hyundai in CO we decode each fault and present clear cost comparisons: a timely sensor replacement or ignition repair often costs a fraction of what a failed catalytic converter or repeated engine damage would incur.
