Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on in a 2025 Hyundai Elantra?

• Check the gas cap: ensure it’s tight and undamaged. A loose or faulty cap is a common, easy fix that often clears the light.
• Look for immediate symptoms: rough idle, loss of power, or a flashing light — these indicate more serious issues and warrant stopping driving.
• Note recent activity: fueling, new parts, or odd noises — that information helps our technicians diagnose faster.
• If covered under warranty, have repairs and diagnostics performed at a certified dealership; warranty work must be done by factory-trained technicians to remain valid.
• For accurate diagnosis and long-term savings, bring your Elantra to Coggin Deland Hyundai where we often cost less than independent shops while offering higher-level service.

• It signals the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected an issue. Causes range from minor (loose gas cap, EVAP leak) to serious (misfire, catalytic converter, sensor failure).
• A steady light usually indicates a non‑urgent fault; a flashing light often means an active misfire risking catalytic damage and requires immediate attention.
• Common systems involved: ignition/fuel delivery, emissions control (O2/catalyst), and evaporative emissions (EVAP).
• Accurate code reading and proper repairs at a certified dealership protect warranties and often cost less over time than fixes from independent shops.
