The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

What is the malfunction indicator light in Hyundai Elantra?
There are several kinds of malfunction lights on the dashboard of a Hyundai Elantra (and this is true on all Hyundai models). Some are comparatively minor, such as the one for "tire pressure is too low"-- and all it means is you should check the air in your tires at the nearest gas station. Or if the "check oil" light comes on, this means you are low on oil and any service station can put some oil in. Sometimes, especially when the car is new, a malfunction light called a "check engine light" may come on for no apparent reason. If the car is running fine, it could just means there's a problem with a sensor and the car's computer system needs to be re-set, which the dealer can take care of. But if the car suddenly is running rough, or it's barely running at all, the "check engine" light could indicate a more serious problem with the generator or the car's electrical system. You need to contact the dealer right away, and the service department can tell you what you should do. [Your Hyundai should have a manual that explains all the lights; if you don't have it, there are versions online.]
How do you replace the license plate light on a 2002 Hyundai elantra?
On my 2000 Hyundai Elantra, you can access the license plate lights from the outside. You use a flathead to pop out the right side of the light, twist the back end (where the wire comes out) and the part with the bulb comes out. Pull it out, slide the new bulb in, retwist it into its container and pop the light back in place. Repeat for other side. Cost me $3 for the bulbs and took me about 5 min to do.
