2021 Hyundai Kona Electric Check Engine Light Codes

The 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric may report a range of OBD and manufacturer-specific codes. Common codes relate to battery management (BMS), inverter or traction motor alerts, high-voltage charging faults, and occasional sensor issues like HVAC or coolant temperature sensors. Left unaddressed, a BMS or inverter fault can reduce your available range, lead to sudden charge interruptions, or cause expensive high-voltage repairs; a faulty sensor can cause poor cabin comfort or inefficient charging that raises long-term ownership costs. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, our technicians use Hyundai factory scanners and diagnostic procedures to identify codes precisely and recommend cost-effective repairs. That accuracy delivers immediate savings by avoiding unnecessary part swaps and long-term savings through OEM repairs that preserve efficiency and resale value. We also offer transparent estimates, access to OEM parts, and the option to apply service financing when you need repairs now but prefer to pay over time.
