2014 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2014 Hyundai Sonata is more than pressing a button; it’s about confirming the underlying fault has been resolved so the warning does not return. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, our technicians begin with a complete scan using Hyundai-approved diagnostic tools to read stored and pending codes. If a temporary issue—such as a loose gas cap—triggered the light, we’ll clear codes and run verification drive cycles to ensure systems return to normal operation. If a deeper problem exists, we provide a clear repair plan that uses OEM parts and adheres to factory specifications. Resetting a light without addressing the root cause risks masking catalyst, ignition, or emissions problems that grow more costly over time. Choosing dealership service provides documented repairs that help preserve warranties and resale value. We also offer service financing and transparent pricing to make necessary repairs manageable. To book an accurate reset and full inspection, schedule service today and review available service specials before your visit.
