Check Engine Light Flashing

Our Deland service center diagnoses root causes—ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, or sensor failures—using factory diagnostic tools. We highlight available service specials and can discuss service financing to make urgent repairs manageable.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2011 Hyundai Sonata include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0133 (oxygen sensor slow response), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), and misfire codes such as P0300. Left unaddressed, these codes can escalate costs: an oxygen sensor failure can reduce fuel economy and damage catalytic components, leading to expensive replacements; fuel trim issues cause rough running and poor MPG; misfires can ruin the catalytic converter if you continue driving, turning a relatively low-cost ignition repair into a major expense. At Coggin Deland Hyundai in Deland, FL, we prioritize clear diagnostics, OEM parts, and estimates that show immediate and long-term savings. Our technicians explain what each code means, outline repair timelines, and apply appropriate warranties so you leave with confidence.
