Frequently Asked Questions

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

• Check the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common, inexpensive cause and can trigger an emissions-related code.
• Note recent changes: fueling, maintenance, or fueling type (premium recommended) can point to the source.
• Inspect for obvious issues: unusual noises, loss of power, or fluid leaks may indicate a more urgent problem.
• Bring your vehicle to Nalley Hyundai so certified technicians can run a proper diagnostic; warranty-covered work must be performed at a certified dealership.
