... Sounds like it could be a partial ground .. not very sure about this problem other than it may be water related. Have you driven through and large puddles or been subjected to lots of rain lately? Water,humidity may trigger and alarm. Put a code reader on it and it will give you the time the CEL was triggered. That may give you a hint regarding where you were at when it came on. No.. they should not be related.

I ave a 2008 Santa Fe. The fuel gauge light stays lit up on E even if my gas tank is full. When I go to put fuel in my car, it is very difficult to start. Takes a few times to get it to run smooth 5 Answers

It takes a few times of starting before being able to drive. After that, it starts fine and runs fine until the next time I get fuel. Is my fuel tank about to go out on me?
