2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe include P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), P0455 (EVAP leak), and P0135 (O2 sensor heater).

At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, our certified technicians diagnose each code, explain options, and prioritize repairs that deliver the greatest long-term value. We use OEM parts, back work with warranty protection, and often provide lower total ownership costs by preventing escalation.
