Common Dashboard Warning Lights in Hyundai Vehicles

While the appearance of one of these lights might seem like an annoyance, it's actually a helpful indicator that can allow you to address small problems before they become more expensive.
In general, the sooner you deal with a situation that's being highlighted by a warning light, the easier it will the for us to handle it for you and the less expense you'll probably have. In most cases, the solution is something relatively simple that we can resolve for you in the service center at Seidel Hyundai in reading PA.
Why dashboard warning lights can be helpful to you
Our factory-trained technicians are knowledgeable about these warning lights and typically have years of experience in dealing with whatever issues are being pointed out. In fact, the warning lights help us identify situations that need attention much more easily and inexpensively than was possible in the past.
The two most common warning and indicator lights
While there are a number of warning lights that are built into your Hyundai's internal computer system, the two most common are the Tire Pressure Mounting System (TPMS) light and the Check Engine light. The TPMS indicator has an icon of a wheel and an exclamation point while the Check Engine light has an icon of the engine bay. Here's a quick overview of these two common warning signs, followed by an outline of other warning lights that drivers in Wyomissing and Shillington, PA should know about.
The Tire Pressure Mounting System light
This warning light turns on as soon as you turn on the ignition and it remains lit for about three seconds before it goes off. The light will then remain on after blinking for about one minute and will keep blinking until the Tire Pressure Mounting System is addressed. When you have one or more of your tires significantly underinflated, you'll find the location of underinflated tires displayed on the LCD screen to show you which tires need servicing.
   | Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light |
You can fix the problem simply by inflating the tires that need more pressure. We will be glad to check for any holes or punctures that might be causing your tires to gradually deflate. If you fill your tires with air and the TPMS light is still lit, talk to one of the experts in our service center at Seidel Hyundai and bring us your vehicle so we can take a closer look.
The Check Engine light
The Check Engine light is one of the most common warning lights you'll see on the dashboard of your Hyundai model. This light turns on as soon as the ignition is turned on and it will remain lit if you have a malfunction within the emission control system. We strongly recommend that you not ignore this warning sign because it's potentially dangerous to drive around with your Check Engine light illuminated.
   | Check Engine Light (CEL)/Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) |
As soon as this light appears, you can lift the hood and do a visual inspection of the engine bay to see if you can find any obvious leaks or malfunctions. If you don't see anything that's easily visible, we recommended that you schedule an appointment in our service center and let one of our professionally trained technicians address the issue for you.
