2015 Kia Sportage Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2015 Kia Sportage seen at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0136–P0164 (oxygen sensor circuits), and P0300 (random/multiple misfires). Left untreated, these conditions can lower fuel economy, increase emissions, and lead to costly repairs like catalytic converter replacement or engine damage. For example, ignoring an oxygen sensor code can reduce MPG and eventually damage the catalytic converter, which is a high-cost repair compared to addressing the sensor early. Our Burlington, MA service center diagnoses codes with factory tools, explains repair options, and provides cost estimates that emphasize immediate savings and long-term value. Because we use OEM parts and certified technicians, you avoid repeat repairs common with non‑OEM replacements.
