2016 Hyundai Tucson Check Engine Light Codes

In Auburn, MA, Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn regularly handles common check engine codes for the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, from P0420 (catalyst efficiency) and P0300 (random/multiple misfires) to P0420 and oxygen sensor faults. Left unaddressed, these issues raise fuel costs, reduce performance, and can lead to expensive downstream repairs such as full catalytic converter replacement or engine damage. For example, an unresolved misfire can damage the catalytic converter — a repair that can cost substantially more than early ignition or fuel system repairs. Our certified Hyundai technicians use factory-grade scanners to identify root causes, present clear repair options, and explain immediate and long-term savings. Choosing our Auburn dealership often costs less than independent shops once you factor in correct diagnostics, OEM parts, and warranty protection.
