• The light signals that a monitored system has detected a fault — anything from a loose gas cap to a misfire, emission sensor, or catalytic efficiency issue.
• Codes read with an OBD-II scanner pinpoint the system and often suggest likely components (O2 sensor, EVAP, ignition, fuel trim, catalytic converter).
• Ignoring the light can escalate repair costs and reduce fuel economy; early dealer diagnosis prevents secondary damage and higher long-term expenses.
• For warranty protection and accurate repairs, have the vehicle inspected and repaired at a certified dealership like Coggin Deland Hyundai.

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

• Start with easy, safe checks: ensure the gas cap is tightened and undamaged — a loose cap commonly triggers an EVAP code.
• If the cap is secure, schedule a prompt scan; saving time prevents more costly failures and preserves warranty eligibility when work is done at a certified dealer.
• At Coggin Deland Hyundai our technicians use factory diagnostic tools to verify root causes, reducing unnecessary parts replacement and saving you money immediately and over time.
• If symptoms such as loss of power or rough idle occur, avoid driving and contact our service center for expedited inspection to protect the engine and drivetrain.

• Choosing Coggin Deland Hyundai often reduces total ownership costs because factory-trained techs use the right parts and procedures, and warranty-covered work must be done at a certified dealer to remain valid.
