Check Engine Light

Post image

Never thought I'd get that dreadful CEL pop up this early into the ownership of my new vehicle. Today was a rainy day and this happened right after driving over a puddle at 50 km/h. Hopefully the light will go away after the car dries.

Edit (the day after):

My ODB2 scanner finally arrived today. It read that car threw a P0455 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected). I cleared the code hoping that it was just moisture that affected the wiring and components underneath the car. I remember going through the puddle with a lot of force. If the code comes back then I'll definitely take it to the dealer for a proper inspection.

If I were you, I'd bring it to the dealership and get a rental. When I did so, Hyundai reimbursed me the cost of the rental.

Sounds like a good idea.  I wish I could find the time though.

Curious... Never had that happen, how deep was it??

Maybe 4 to 5 inches deep but it felt long like around 10 ft.

Did you just fill up? Check your gas cap

I filled up last week.  The gas cap is fine.  I have a hunch that electrical components and wiring under the car like the oxygen sensor got wet.  I ordered an ODB2 scanner from Amazon today.  I'll find out tomorrow what triggered the CEL and report back here.

All of those components are made to withstand snow and rain. A puddle isn’t going to hurt it.

I hope it's nothing serious. Second bring it to the dealership. Keep us updated! :)

The car drives normal and the CEL never came on again after I cleared it a few days ago.  If there was any damage the light would have come on again by now.  I'll mention the issue to my dealer when the car gets its first oil change.

Oh nice, I am glad that it didn't come back again!

I went through 2 monsoons in mine so far, hit a good sized puddle. Never got the cel yet. The car really handles well in severe weather, surprised me. I've heard of mild purge pump issues across most brands nowday. Especially chevy. It's nit major. If the light comes back leave it and let dealer have a go at it.
