2025 Kia Carnival Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2025 Kia Carnival can be done, but a simple reset doesn’t resolve underlying faults. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington our technicians run a complete scan with OEM-level tools, clear stored codes only after confirming repairs, and provide a diagnostic report so you understand both the cause and the cost. Independent code-clearing tools may temporarily extinguish the light and hide problems that can become more expensive down the road. Choosing our dealership means you get factory-trained technicians, genuine Kia parts, and repair methods that preserve warranty coverage—any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We also highlight immediate and long-term savings: accurate repairs restore fuel economy, prevent collateral damage, and avoid repeated trips. Review current service specials and, when you’re ready, schedule service online for a clear, trustworthy approach to engine-light resets and repairs.
