Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset for a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is more than clearing a code; it’s confirming the underlying issue has been fixed. At Coggin Deland Hyundai in Deland, FL, our technicians don't just erase a warning — they diagnose the condition, repair with OEM parts, and verify the repair using factory procedures so the light stays off for good. Customers benefit from certified Hyundai training, transparent estimates, and options for service financing so urgent repairs don’t wait. Choosing the dealership ensures warranty compliance — repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealer to retain protection — and often results in immediate and long-term savings through correct, durable repairs. Before you try a DIY reset, consider that a reset without repair can hide progressive damage; instead, schedule service with our team and ask about current service specials that may lower your cost.

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Check Engine Light Codes

Many check engine light codes on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport relate to emissions and engine sensors: P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (misfire), P0171/P0172 (fuel trim), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater) and P0101 (MAF sensor). Left unaddressed, these can increase fuel use, reduce performance, damage the catalytic converter, or lead to breakdowns that cost far more than timely repairs.

Bringing your vehicle to our Deland service center guarantees warranty compliance when applicable, access to manufacturer parts, and expedited repairs.
