Most of the time a engine light will set with an Evap leak code if the gass cap is not tight or left off. tighten cap, or replace cap if gasket is cracked or worn.

YES!... with various system operating difference. Disconnecting the alarm does not disable it.. it only silences the alarm. You will still need the Keyless Entry System Remote to RESET the alarm to start the vehicle.

SOURCE: PO420 code for 2003 Elantra

Danny,

Catalytic Converter Failure is a common cause of a P0420 Code. 1.) I would give a few calls to some muffler shops and get a thorough exhaust inspection done. As a leaking/damaged Exhaust Manifold, Catalytic Converter, or exhaust pipe could be some of the culprits as well. If it were any of those other items your car would give you a different OBD Code. Item #2.) This is not common with a P0420 Code. With the P0420 code you should have no driveability issues. (not to say that you wouldnt in an extreme rarety) Item #3.) Again this would flag an entirely different code such as P0455 (Large Evap Emission Leak) Item#4.) Engine Oil would not even set a code. I hope this helps you out, and thank you for using FixYa!

Sincerely,

JC

SOURCE: P0139 code for a 2003 hyundai elantra. What is this code?

P0139 HO2S Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1 / Sensor 2). This is the downstream sensor (after the catalytic converter). Odds are the sensor is going bad. Check connections/ connector to this sensor. If you don't find any problem/trouble with this connector, replace the O2 sensor.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Elantra GLS. Check engine light, code PO133

Did you use a aftermarket O2 sensor or a genuine Hyundai one? If it's an aftermarket one it may be bad or not as good as the OEM one. See here for more details and other potential causes: P0133

Engine light on in 09 hyundia elantra after changing 02 sensor

That is because the check light indicated on OBD2
System Fault

You replaced a part based on the code

The codes are used to diagnose the system that set
the code & then component test

You apparently didn't diagnose the real cause of the
possible problem

The sensor may have been just doing it's job

When you come here either give use the codes or

2000 Hyundai Elantra: When shifting from first to second gear, check engine light will flash, and vehicle will attempt to stall, if clutch pedel is is not depressed quickly, service tech did experience...

When a 'check engine light' (MIL=Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is turned on, there is a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) set/stored in the ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module). This code identifies which engine management system component/function experienced a malfunction. Once you pull/read this code, you may begin diagnosis.

Since the 'Check Engine' light flashed, and there were no codes stored (at least this is what the technician told you), there is definitely something happening with the engine computer. There is ALWAYS a code stored when the Check Engine light comes on - even if it's a 'History' code (unless there's a problem with the computer).

Have a qualified/certified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose this issue.

2003 Hyundai Elantra can the car fail inspection if your check engine light came on a few times in the last month and 1/2. The light didn't stay on long though Will spark plugs making a backfiring noise...

Until you verify which codes occured, your guess is as good as mine. Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.

2003 Hyundai Elantra

NO. These models do not have warnings on the transmission failure. There is warnings only when the transmission encounters electrical component failure, overheating(some cars), low fluid. Usually the warning is the O/D flashing light, or a seperate transmission light. Hopefully this helps

I think I responded to your request before. Take it into a Hyundai Dealership and they'll diagnose it give you an estimate of repairs (parts, labor & tax)
Nuff said. OR you could go to http://www.hmaservice.com/ and register (vehicle VIN) then you could check it yourself with the info you would have access to (manuals, wiring diagrams, service bulletins, etc.)

If you want to fix it yourself, you can go to http://www.hmaservice.com/ and register. You'll have access to lots of info about your vehicle. If not, take it in to a Hyundai Dealership and have it diagnosed - depending on what's wrong, they'll give you an estimate of repairs (parts & labor + tax).
