Troubleshooting a Check Engine Light on a Kia Rio

I have a 2018 Kia Rio and the check engine light came on. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The check engine light can signify a range of issues, from a loose gas cap to a more serious engine problem. I would recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to get it scanned and diagnose the specific issue.

One common cause of a check engine light on a Kia Rio is a faulty oxygen sensor. This can be replaced easily, but I would still recommend getting a diagnostic scan done to confirm the issue.

Before panicking, make sure your gas cap is tightened properly. A loose gas cap can trigger the check engine light. If that doesn't solve the issue, then it's best to seek professional help.

In some cases, the check engine light may come on due to a minor electrical glitch. Try disconnecting the car's battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. This can sometimes reset the system and turn off the light.
