2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, we see a range of check engine light codes for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Common codes include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (lean condition), and oxygen sensor faults such as P0135. Left untreated, a P0420 can lead to failed emissions testing and a catalytic converter replacement that may exceed $1,000; ignoring misfires (P0300) risks catalytic damage and reduced engine life, costing significantly more than timely repairs. A lean condition can increase engine wear and lower fuel economy, eroding savings over time.
