Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing in a 2016 Hyundai Equus indicates an active misfire or severe condition that can quickly damage the catalytic converter and other engine components. A flashing light is different from a steady light: it means the engine is misfiring repeatedly and unburned fuel is entering the exhaust system, risking an expensive catalytic converter replacement and reduced engine longevity. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, we prioritize flashing-light cases for immediate diagnostic attention. Our certified technicians use OEM-grade scanners and factory procedures to isolate root causes such as ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery faults, or sensor failures. Addressing a flashing check engine light quickly with genuine parts avoids escalating repair costs and preserves performance. Ask about our current service specials and finance options so you can proceed without delay. For urgent attention, schedule service online or call our service team—fast diagnostics, transparent pricing, and same-day repairs when possible keep your Equus running at its best.
2016 Hyundai Equus Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Equus is a simple technical step but not a substitute for proper diagnosis. Clearing codes without fixing the underlying problem can hide symptoms while damage progresses. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, we explain why a reset should follow confirmed repairs: it ensures systems are functioning, warranty conditions are met, and emissions are within specification. Our service process includes a full scan, test drive if needed, repair with OEM parts, and a final verification scan to confirm the issue is resolved before any code is cleared. We emphasize transparency—detailed estimates, explanations of parts and labor, and an outline of long-term savings by using factory-trained techs. Repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage. Take advantage of online service specials and inquire about service financing to manage costs.
