2016 Hyundai Azera Check Engine Light Reset

The process to reset a check engine light on a 2016 Hyundai Azera begins with a targeted diagnostic scan to identify stored trouble codes and live data. Resetting the light without resolving the underlying issue only delays necessary repairs and risks repeat failures and higher costs later. At Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque, our technicians use Hyundai OEM scanners and a methodical approach: read codes, perform smoke and sensor tests as needed, correct faults with genuine Hyundai parts, and then verify the repair with a confirmatory road test. We document every step and provide an itemized estimate so you understand immediate costs and the long-term savings of factory-recommended parts and procedures. Service at our Albuquerque location includes transparent communication about warranty coverage—repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership—and options like service financing to help you get back on the road quickly. To protect your vehicle and warranty, rather than attempting a quick DIY reset, schedule service with our certified team and take advantage of any current service specials.
