2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light flashes on a 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid it signals a severe, active fault — commonly an engine misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if driven long. Flashing indicates combustion is not occurring correctly and unburned fuel may be entering the exhaust. Do not ignore a flashing light; stop driving when safe and have the vehicle towed to Courtesy Kia of Brandon. Our team prioritizes flashing-light cases because immediate intervention limits damage and repair cost. We use factory diagnostic tools to identify causes — from ignition components to fuel delivery — and repair with genuine parts. Warranties require certified-dealership repairs to remain valid.

2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid without addressing the root cause can mask problems and risk further damage. Simple resets can be performed with an OBD-II scanner, but a true solution requires a full diagnostic so codes are read, faults are repaired, and related systems verified. At Courtesy Kia of Brandon our factory-trained technicians not only reset codes but diagnose underlying issues, restore proper operation, and document work to protect warranty coverage. Choosing dealership service delivers immediate savings through accurate repairs and long-term value by preventing repeat failures that independent centers may overlook. We provide itemized estimates and keep you informed at every step.

2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

The most common check engine light codes for a 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid include P0442 (evaporative emissions leak), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130 series (oxygen sensor faults). Left unaddressed, these codes can lead to higher fuel use, failed emissions tests, and expensive component damage like catalytic converter replacement. Diagnostic costs begin with a scan; repair costs vary — a gas cap or sensor replacement is relatively inexpensive, while catalytic work can be costlier. Servicing at Courtesy Kia of Brandon often costs less than independent shops and preserves warranty eligibility because covered repairs must be completed at an authorized dealership.
