Why Are The Warning Lights On in My Hyundai Vehicle?

Any Hyundai vehicle you drive comes with dashboard warning lights that can let you know if there are any technical problems you need to be aware of. Although seeing one of these lights may seem inconvenient, it is a valuable warning that can help you take care of minor issues before they become more costly. In general, dealing with a situation highlighted by a warning light ASAP will save you considerable money. If left unattended, minor vehicular issues can escalate into more severe problems.

What are the Most Common Warning Lights in Hyundai Cars?

The Tire Pressure Mounting System (TPMS) light and the Check Engine light are the two most frequent warning lights integrated into your Hyundai’s internal computer system. While the Check Engine light has an emblem representing the engine bay, the TPMS indicator has a wheel and an exclamation point. Here is a summary of these two typical warning lights, followed by a list of additional cautionary lights drivers in Chicagoland should be aware of.

 

 

 

The Tire Pressure Mounting System Light

As soon as you turn on the ignition, this warning light illuminates for roughly three seconds before turning off. After about a minute of blinking, the light will stay on and continue to blink until the Tire Pressure Mounting System is fixed. The location of the underinflated tires will be displayed on the LCD screen to let you know which tires need service if one or more of your tires are noticeably underinflated.

Simply putting additional air in the required tires will solve the issue. We’ll be happy to inspect your tires for any holes or punctures that could result in a slow loss of air pressure. Talk to one of the professionals in our service department at Family Hyundai and bring us your car if you have inflated your tires and the TPMS light is still on so we can better assess the situation.

 

 

 

The Check Engine Light

The Check Engine light is one of the most frequent warning lights on your Hyundai model’s dashboard. When the ignition is turned on, this light stays lit if the emission control system malfunctions. Driving around with your Check Engine light on could be dangerous, so we strongly advise against ignoring this warning indicator.

As soon as this light comes on, you should lift the hood and look around the engine bay to ascertain if there are any evident leaks or problems. If something needs to be clarified, we advise scheduling a visit to our service center so that one of our specialists may handle the problem on your behalf.
