Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz usually indicates a severe misfire or condition that could cause catalytic converter damage. Immediate attention is critical: continuing to drive can escalate damage, reduce fuel economy, and incur higher repair costs. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn our technicians prioritize safety and uptime. We perform a full, factory-level diagnostic scan, check ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, and exhaust sensors, and provide clear options for repair. Choosing a certified dealership for a flashing CEL brings transparency and tangible savings over time—our technicians use OEM parts sized and calibrated for your Santa Cruz, and our repair work is backed by dealership warranties. We also offer service financing so urgent repairs can be handled now and paid over time. Before you visit, review current service specials and to book a prompt inspection schedule service online.
