Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

• Frequent causes include oxygen sensor faults, ignition coil or spark plug misfires, EVAP system leaks, and catalytic converter issues.
• Minor issues like a loose gas cap or worn spark plugs are common and easy to fix when identified early.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

• A steady light signals a stored diagnostic trouble code related to emissions, sensors, or drivability; flashing indicates a severe, active fault.
• The light can mean anything from an emissions sensor reading out of range to an ignition or fuel delivery issue affecting performance.
• We recommend a factory scan to read freeze-frame data and pending codes so the true cause is not masked by clearing codes prematurely.
• Nalley Hyundai’s factory-trained technicians provide precise diagnostics, which delivers immediate and long-term savings compared with repeated, inconclusive repairs.
• Any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to keep warranty protection intact.

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

• Start with simple checks: ensure the gas cap is tightened and look for obvious performance changes like rough idle or loss of power.
• Note any symptoms (stumbles, reduced fuel economy, unusual noises) and avoid heavy driving until diagnosed, especially if the light is flashing.
• Use a factory-grade scan to retrieve codes; Nalley Hyundai offers fast, accurate scans and documents results for warranty and resale records.
• If you see a flashing light, stop driving and have the vehicle towed to the dealership to avoid extensive damage.
• Choosing Nalley Hyundai often yields lower total cost of ownership than independent shops because correct diagnosis reduces repeat visits and unnecessary parts replacement.
