How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0?

• Start with a visual inspection: loose or damaged gas cap, obvious fluid leaks, or disconnected vacuum lines—these simple items are easy to fix and can trigger a light.
• If nothing is visible, a quick OBD-II scan at our service center identifies trouble codes so we can prioritize repairs without unnecessary parts replacement.
• For warranty-covered issues, have the certified dealership perform the inspection—repairs must be done at a certified dealer to maintain warranty protection.
