1999 Hyundai Accent GSI 1.5 mileage: 49,000. My check engine light comes on intermittently. It will come on for a couple of hours or for a day but then goes out. There is no performance loss or any obvious problems with the vehicle. Is there a way to check what is causing this without returning to the dealer?

Yes there is. Any vehicle service center that has an OBDII scanner can scan your vehicle and identify the stored fault codes. With a scanner you can scan your computer and check for fault codes yourself. These scanners are very easy to use and work on all cars 1996 and newer.
