Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid?

• The light means the vehicles onboard diagnostics detected a fault: anything from a loose gas cap or emissions sensor issue to a more serious ignition or hybrid system concern. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Albuquerque we run a full code scan, explain findings in plain language, and recommend OEM repairs that protect long-term reliability and resale value.
• Our service department often costs less than independent shops while offering factory-trained technicians, genuine Hyundai parts, and warranty-backed work. That combination delivers immediate savings through accurate fixes and long-term savings through fewer repeated repairs.
• If a repair is covered under warranty, it must be completed by a certified dealership to preserve coverage. We also offer service financing so you can get repairs now and pay later.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Most diagnostics are completed in one visit: a computer scan and technician inspection typically take 30 to 90 minutes depending on the issue. Simple fixes like sensor replacement or a tighten-up can be same-day.
• Complex repairs that require parts or deeper hybrid-system checks may extend the timeline; we communicate expected completion times clearly and fast so you can plan.
