What causes the 'check engine' light to come on in a Kia Sportage?

My 'check engine' light recently came on in my Kia Sportage. What are some common reasons for this and how can I fix it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are many potential reasons for the 'check engine' light to come on in a Kia Sportage. It could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or as serious as a faulty oxygen sensor. It's always best to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue.

I had the same issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a problem with the spark plugs. Replacing them resolved the issue for me. But again, it's important to have a professional take a look at your car to determine the exact cause.

Make sure to also check your Kia Sportage's battery and alternator. If they are not functioning properly, it can also cause the 'check engine' light to come on. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
