I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited with 26k miles.  Everything is running normally with no codes, but the long term fuel trim is showing 10.5%.  what should I do?  Dealership won't fix it under warranty since it has no codes.

Normally, you don't want to go over 10% when adding LTFT and STFT together.  Did you check for vacuum leaks?  Can be many things such as MAP sensor, something in fuel system, etc. but I wouldn't worry too much if the car idles normal and drives good.  You can try adding a fuel additive into fuel tank such as Techron or even better 505 CRF and see if that'll help.

You could try cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor.

Most Hyundai cars have MAP sensors that should not be cleaned. I might be wrong but I think it has MAP sensor. Good idea on throttle body cleaning...


Don't mess with the MAP sensor if that's what you have but you can clean the throttle body.
