Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting a check engine light on a 2022 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid may seem simple, but a true fix requires confirming the underlying cause rather than clearing a symptom. At Nalley Kia in GA, our process begins with a full OEM-level scan that records pending and stored codes, allowing technicians to determine whether a reset is appropriate or if a repair is required. Clearing the light without addressing the cause can mask issues that worsen over time—leading to reduced fuel efficiency, potential battery strain, or emissions system damage that becomes costlier to repair. Our certified technicians use genuine Kia parts and follow factory procedures, plus we document all diagnostics so you have a clear repair history that preserves resale value. We also provide transparent estimates and offer service financing so you can get necessary repairs done now and pay over time. For competitive pricing and genuine part assurance, take advantage of our current service specials and schedule service online—Nalley Kia delivers fast, documented, and warranty-ready service for your 2022 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid.

2022 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

At Nalley Kia in Georgia, we frequently see a handful of common check engine light codes on the 2022 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid: oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), EV/hybrid battery sensor codes, evaporative system faults (P0440–P0455), and misfire codes (P0300–P0304). Left unaddressed, each can escalate—oxygen sensor failures degrade fuel economy and increase emissions, potentially damaging the catalytic converter (a high-cost repair), while evap leaks can lead to failed emissions tests and persistent drivability concerns. Hybrid-system alerts can affect electric range or charging behavior if sensors or connectors are ignored, reducing efficiency and increasing operating costs. Nalley Kia combines fast diagnostics with factory training to identify the exact cause and recommend cost-effective repairs, often saving customers money versus repeated independent attempts. Our facility offers OEM parts, warranty-backed repairs, and convenient online tools—visit our schedule service page or view current service specials to book a diagnostic that protects your Niro’s performance and long-term value.
