2024–2027 Hyundai Santa Fe FAQ

Does dark automatic transmission fluid mean it needs replacement?

2026–2027

No; new automatic transmission fluid is red and normally darkens with driving, so color change alone does not mean replacement is needed.

Page 722 in the 2027 manual →

2025

No. In normal use, no level check is needed; in severe operating conditions, an authorized HYUNDAI dealer should change the dual clutch transmission fluid as scheduled.

Page 588 in the 2025 manual →

2024

Under the severe-usage schedule, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 miles (96,000 km).

Under normal usage, you do not need to check the automatic transmission fluid level; an authorized HYUNDAI dealer should change it according to the maintenance schedule.

What does the check engine light mean?

2025

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp means a malfunction may exist in the emissions, engine, or vehicle powertrain system.

Page 110 in the 2025 manual →

What should I do if the check engine light stays on?

2025

Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer, because driving with the light on may damage the emission system and affect drivability or fuel economy.

If the light illuminates, catalytic converter damage and loss of engine power are possible, so have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
