Hyundai Elantra persistent oil light warning and engine stalling issue on Hyundai Elantra

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing persistent oil light warnings and engine stalling issues, particularly common among 2017 models. These stalling problems can stem from software and engine malfunctions, low fuel pressure, and wiring issues, often presenting symptoms like high RPM, rough idling, and unexpected engine shut-off. Additionally, low oil pressure is frequently associated with the oil light warning, which can indicate potential engine damage if the engine is burning oil or if oil levels are low. Faulty electrical or sensor-related issues may also contribute to stalling, with components such as the crankshaft or camshaft position sensors, ignition switch, or engine control module potentially requiring replacement. In some cases, specific components like the Crank Shaft Position sensor have been identified as the cause of stalling, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostics. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Hyundai Elantra.
