2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset for a 2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid should be handled with care: a reset without correcting the underlying fault can mask problems that lead to reduced fuel economy, higher emissions, or damage to catalytic converters and hybrid components.
