Try using a quality fuel injector cleaner as the problem may be bad injector operation
if the engine was washed at the inspection , could be water in harness connection or shorting out electronic components
have the fault codes read to check for problem sensors before you panic and waste money

Solution #1 has a good general approach. He didn't quite explain that when you go to an Autozone or affiliated type car parts supplier they will read the fault code from the car's computer using a "scan tool." They do this so that they can sell you the part. But, some parts are not easy to replace, and you should be very comfortable working on machinery before attempting a repair. I've done every type of car repair for myself for 50 years, and I don't always choose to do a repair myself just because I can. Consider going to the dealer right away as the check engine light comes on the majority of the time for one of two reasons: 1) it is getting an emission system fault often due to something as simple as a loose gas cap in which case you should check your manual to see how long/ or many on/off cycles it will take to clear the code after you retighten it :-), 2) an Oxygen sensor fault that may be covered by the warranty. When an Oxygen sensor fails the computer will go into a default mode that usually causes the car to consume more gas, but will not hurt the engine. Usually these sensors will last at least 100,000 miles or more with the generally clean fuels available today, but my wife's '06 Sonata lost one at 27 k Mi. Fixed under warranty, but took 4 days to get one into stock! Hyundai dealers tend to carry very meager parts inventory even for commonly needed items like fuel filters.

POWER STEERING PROBLEM - CONTAINER CONSIST TWO LEVELS. SHOULD THE BOTTOM PART BE THE NORMAL COLOUR OF THE FLUID AND THE TOP PART APPEARS TO BE DIFFERENT THEN REMOVE THE CONTAINER AND CLEAN PROPERLY AS THERE IS A SIEVE BETWEEN THE TWO LEVELS WHICH IS BLOCKED. DRAIN OIL FROM POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND REFILL WITH NEW OIL.
iF BELTS WERE RECENTLY CHANGED THEN THE PROBLEM MIGHT LY BY ONE OF THE PULLEYS THAT IS WARN. MEANING THAT THE BELT INBEDDS TO DEEP INTO THE PULLEY AND CAUSE THE BELT TO SQUEL. SHOULD YOU POUR WATER ONTO THE BELT WHILE IT IS SQUELING IT PROVES THAT IT IS EITHER THE BELT THAT NEEDS REPLACELMENT OR ONE OF THE PULLEY PROVIDING THE BELT TENSION IS INSPECT

Check your engine oil and break oil weather it is in below low level or full, if it has in low level get an engine oil for your car module and pour it. otherwise go to authorized Hyundai service centre and check for it.

Have the codes read to find out the fault code that triggers the light. Go to a mechanic, or your local auto parts superstore and have them check it. Hope this helps.
