2018 Kia Niro Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington in Burlington, MA, we regularly see a handful of recurring engine-light codes on the 2018 Kia Niro. Common codes include oxygen sensor faults (affecting emissions and fuel economy), EV/charging-system related codes unique to hybrid crossovers, catalytic converter efficiency alerts, and intermittent misfire or fuel-trim codes. Ignoring these codes can lead to progressive problems: untreated oxygen sensor failures reduce fuel efficiency and may damage the catalytic converter; charging-system faults can stress hybrid battery packs and cause costly replacements; misfires left unchecked risk engine damage and higher repair bills. Our certified technicians use factory-grade scanners to read and interpret codes accurately, then present clear repair options and cost-effective recommendations. Choosing Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington often results in overall savings compared with repeated independent repairs, because we diagnose the root cause once and perform repairs under warranty when applicable.
