Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid is a signal that requires immediate attention. A steady light can indicate a non-urgent fault, but a flashing light often means a misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter or hybrid drivetrain if driven. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, our technicians perform an expedited diagnosis to isolate ignition faults, battery charge anomalies, or hybrid system errors. We explain the issue in plain language, outline repair options, and review estimated costs and timelines. Because we use OEM parts and factory procedures, repairs completed here protect warranties and typically offer lower long-term cost through improved reliability and efficiency. We also run available service specials and offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs today. For your safety and to protect your vehicle’s systems, schedule service or contact us immediately to arrange priority handling.

2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid is straightforward when the underlying fault is resolved, but resetting without repair only masks problems and risks recurring failures. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn we diagnose the root cause with OEM-grade scanners, perform necessary repairs with genuine parts, and reset the system correctly so the vehicle self-monitors accurately afterward. Choosing our dealership ensures transparency in pricing, certified technician work, and retention of warranty protection—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We provide clear estimates, fast turnarounds, and long-term value; our approach frequently costs less than independent shops once you factor in durability, warranty, and fewer repeat visits. Take advantage of our service specials and ask about service financing when you schedule service.
