Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2010 Hyundai Sonata is a critical warning: it often indicates an active misfire that can send unburned fuel into the exhaust, overheating and damaging the catalytic converter. Ignoring a flashing light can lead to far higher repair costs and reduced reliability. At Coggin Deland Hyundai in Deland, FL, our factory-trained technicians prioritize safety and long-term value. We inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and emissions systems using OEM diagnostic tools, explain the findings in plain language, and present repair options with transparent pricing. Take advantage of our service financing to address urgent repairs now and spread payments responsibly. We also publish timely service specials to lower out-of-pocket costs and protect your Sonata’s performance. If your check engine light is flashing, do not keep driving; power down, arrange towing if necessary, and schedule service with Coggin Deland Hyundai immediately to avoid cascading damage and expense.

2010 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes

Common trouble codes for the 2010 Hyundai Sonata include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system too lean), and oxygen sensor codes. Left unresolved, a P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure (costly replacement), while ongoing misfires (P0300) may damage pistons, valves, or the exhaust system. A lean condition stresses the engine and shortens component life while hurting fuel economy—costs that add up over time. At Coggin Deland Hyundai our scanned diagnostics identify root causes quickly, and our use of OEM parts prevents repeat visits. Customers in Deland and surrounding areas appreciate our efficient bays, courteous advisors, and clear estimates. We emphasize immediate and long-term savings: accurate repairs now prevent expensive downstream failures.
