2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Check Engine Light Codes

The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe frequently reports codes like P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), and P0300 (random/multiple misfires). Left unchecked, P0420 can indicate a failing catalytic converter — repair or replacement can range from moderate diagnostics and sensor replacement to higher-cost catalytic components; ignoring it can lead to failed emissions tests and poor fuel economy. P0171 often starts with vacuum leaks or failing sensors; if untreated it increases engine wear and reduces efficiency, costing you more at the pump and risking additional component failures. P0300 signals misfires that, over time, can damage pistons, catalytic converters, and ignition components at escalating expense. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn we combine local expertise in Auburn, MA with Hyundai factory diagnostics to identify the exact cause and recommend the most economical repair pathway. Our certified technicians use OEM parts, provide clear cost estimates up front, and explain immediate and long-term savings—plus available service specials—so you can make an informed choice that protects your 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe and your wallet.
