Question Check Engine Light

It came on tonight after some snow fun time. (the tiburon did well)

Then engine sounds normal...and everything but the light is on?....possibly cause of the hard driving?....extremely cold temps? Maybe some water got up on the engine....

any advice/help would be appreciated....gotta go back to the 757 tomarrow

reset ECU, see if it pops back up. The cold weather actually made my CEL go off. Seems cold weather works well for tricking the secondary O2 sensor.

went out to the stadium tonight around 11pm...took off the negative battery connection....danced aroudn the car* for a minute...connected it back up and let it run for a bit....tada....happy hyundai

*Recommended by moderator from Hyundai performance

HYUNDAI OWNS YOU (yes, all of you.)

Edit: And with the help of some CCVT guys that happened to walk a long (sorry don't know your names) we pushed out some dude in his explorer who ended up over the side walk and up by some brick shit by the stadium. kinda odd spot to try a doughnut if u ask me.
