Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid?

• Loose or damaged gas cap causing an evaporative emissions (EVAP) leak — an easy fix that commonly triggers the light.
• Faulty oxygen sensor or exhaust component that affects fuel trim and emissions, which can reduce fuel economy if left unattended.
• Minor misfires or ignition issues that, if ignored, can damage the catalytic converter and raise repair costs.
• Sensor faults (O2, MAF) or EVAP codes are typical for this model and should be diagnosed with OEM-grade tools.
• For warranty-covered issues, repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure long-term savings.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid?

• It signals that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a problem — anything from an emissions issue to an engine misfire.
• Some faults are informational and safe to drive on briefly; others require immediate attention to prevent further damage.
• Codes returned by a scanner guide the technician to the subsystem affected (EVAP, ignition, exhaust, hybrid systems).
