2013 hyundai equus Check Engine Light Codes
The 2013 hyundai equus often sets common OBD-II codes such as P0135 or P0138 (oxygen sensor issues), P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and P0455 (large evap leak). In Auburn, MA, Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn diagnoses these codes with factory-grade scanners to determine whether a sensor, wiring, ignition component, or exhaust system requires attention. Ignoring P0420 or persistent misfires can lead to ruined catalytic converters and repair costs that escalate from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. A faulty oxygen sensor left unchecked reduces fuel economy and increases emissions, costing you at the pump. Our service team discusses cost-effective repair paths, covering immediate fixes and long-term benefits—restored performance, improved MPG, and preserved resale value.
