2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid in the Auburn, MA area include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0136–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuit), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and P0A80–P1Axx family codes associated with hybrid battery or inverter issues. Left unresolved, P0420 can reduce fuel economy and eventually damage the catalytic converter — replacement can exceed $1,000. O2 sensor faults reduce mileage and performance, often costing a few hundred dollars if serviced promptly. Misfires may quickly escalate to cylinder or catalytic damage, raising repair costs significantly. Hybrid-battery-related codes can indicate cell imbalance or state-of-charge anomalies; early diagnosis preserves electric range and avoids full-pack replacement costs. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn we offer direct OEM diagnostics, transparent pricing, and factory-trained technicians who explain costs and long-term savings. To protect your Sonata Plug-in Hybrid and avoid escalating expenses, schedule service or check our service specials before you arrive.
