What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5?

• The light indicates the vehicle detected a fault in one of its monitored systems—on an EV this often involves the 12V system, battery management, charging circuitry, thermal controls, or drive inverter.
• Severity ranges from a minor sensor or software issue to conditions that affect range, charging or propulsion. The vehicle’s messages and data will help prioritize repairs.
• Immediate actions include checking the charging connection and any dashboard alerts; avoid extended driving if the vehicle advises stopping and have the car inspected promptly by our service team.
• Bringing your IONIQ 5 to Coggin Deland Hyundai ensures technicians use factory diagnostic tools and certified procedures—critical for accurate repair and warranty compliance.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Start with the simple checks: verify the charging cable is fully connected, review any in-car alerts, and confirm the 12V battery condition—this small battery often triggers warnings on EVs.
• If charging was interrupted or you used a public charger, inspect the port and cable for debris or damage before driving further.
• Document any recent events (unusual noise, loss of power, or failed charging) and bring that information to our service advisors to speed diagnosis.
• For warranty protection and accurate repairs, have any subsequent service completed at Coggin Deland Hyundai, where factory-trained technicians and OEM parts secure long-term savings.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• A basic diagnostic and code read can often be completed in 30–60 minutes; a thorough inspection with road testing and data logging may take 1–3 hours.
• Minor repairs like sensor replacement or software updates are typically same-day jobs; larger repairs—battery module or inverter replacement—can take several days depending on parts availability.
• Coggin Deland Hyundai’s factory-trained technicians and parts network usually speed turnaround, helping you save on rental or downtime costs compared with longer independent wait times.
• Remember: warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage, which avoids future expenses from voided warranties.

What is the most common reason for the check engine light on a 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5?

• Common causes for EV warnings include a weak 12V battery, charging port/communication faults, thermal management sensor errors, or software anomalies in battery management.
• Less frequent but costlier issues involve inverter or drive motor errors and degraded battery modules—addressing these early prevents range loss and secondary damage.
• Many issues are resolved quickly with targeted sensor replacement or software updates, which is why an accurate dealer diagnosis is beneficial and economical.
• Choosing Coggin Deland Hyundai often yields immediate and long-term savings: accurate diagnosis, OEM parts, and warranty-backed repairs performed by factory-trained technicians.
