Burglar Alarm System

The burglar alarm system is armed automatically after the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed and locked. The system is set off when any of these things occur:

  • A door is forced open.
  • A door is unlocked without using the transmitter & key.
  • The trunk lid is opened without using the key.
  • The hood is opened.
  • The engine starter circuit and battery circuit are bypassed by breaking the ignition switch.

When the system is set off, the alarm (horn) sounds and the hazard lamp flash for about two minutes or until the system is disarmed by unlocking the transmitter.

For the system to arm, the ignition switch must be off and the key removed. Then, the body control module must receive signals that the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed and locked. When everything is closed and locked, none of the control unit inputs are grounded.

The door switches, hood switch and trunk lid switch are all close and lock the doors with the remote transmitter and then the system arms after 30 second.

If anything is opened or improperly unlocked after the system is armed, the body control module gets a ground signal from that switch, and the system is set off.

If one of the switches is misadjusted or there is a short in the system, the system will not arm. As long as the body control module continues to get a ground signal, it thinks the vehicle is not closed and locked and will not arm.

The receiver is integrated in the body control module.

Keyless Entry System

The burglar alarm system is integrated with the keyless entry system. The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the remote transmitter. When you push the lock button, all doors lock. When you push the unlock button all doors unlock.

The room lamp, if its switch is in the center position, will come on when you press the unlock button. If you do not open a door, the light will go off in about 30 seconds, the doors will automatically relock, and the burglar alarm system will rearm. If you relock the doors with the remote transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.

You cannot lock or unlock the doors with the remote transmitter if the key is in the ignition switch.

The system will signal you when the doors lock and unlock by flashing the hazard lamp once when they lock, and twice when they unlock.

Air bag light Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX 1.6

Hyundai Verna Fluidicair bag sign is on my dash board panel when i start my car and not goes off

RESPONSE

This would indicate there is a malfunction in the air bag system.

Air Bag Light

Each time the vehicle is started the computer performs a check on the air bag system. If any malfunction is noticed the air bag light will be illuminated and the air bag function disabled. When the air bag light is turned on it indicates the air bag is no longer functional. An air bag code will also be stored int he computer.

The most common reason for an air bag light to come on is from a loose ground. Many of the sensors are placed in areas that are prone to rust and or corrosion. Sometimes cleaning the grounds is all that is needed to repair the issue. Other times actual sensor failure is the cause and the sensor will need to be replaced.

A scan tool will be required to extract the individual codes that will pinpoint the exact location of the issue.

Timing Belt 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Sante FeWhat is the most I should need to pay for a complete timing belt kit removal/replacement? {in zip code 48471}…..thanks

RESPONSE

Would be helpful to know what engine is in your vehicle as it came with 3 options.

Estimate Worksheet

2.4L : engine timing belt component kit cost = 154.70; labor hours = 5.1

2.7L : engine timing belt component kit cost = 150.27; labor hours = 5.5

3.5L : engine timing belt component kit cost = 127.19; labor hours = 5.5

Add an additional 150 to the kit price and 3 hours labor if you want the kit that includes a water pump.

Part cost(154.70) + markup(75%) = 270

Part cost with water pump(304.70) + markup(75%) =533

Labor hours(5.5) x hourly rate(120) = 660

Misc. Charge(shop supplies) = 25

+tax(6%)

Timing Belt Kit Replacement Estimate

Without water pump added = 1218+tax(6%) = $1291.00

With water pump added  = 955+tax(6%) = $1012.00

These auto repair estimates are the average prices. It may be a bit less expensive at a local shop compared to a dealership. However you can supplement the labor rate with whatever the shop rate is and apply it the same way. A Dealerships overhead is higher than smaller shops and tends to be a bit more expensive.

Hyundai XG350My car was in an accident. I hit a fire hydrant on my driver side front wheel and now the wheel won’t respond when I turn the steering wheel. What is the issue?

RESPONSE

Wheel Won’t Respond

You have broken, at a minimum, the steering tie rod. There may be more than that broken. Possible broken strut mounts, control arms, etc. Anytime a vehicle is wrecked it is a good idea to have the vehicle physically looked at by a professional mechanic. Have an alignment done to help avoid premature tire wear.

Proper tire alignment is critical to the tread-life of your tires as well as to your car’s steering performance. Improper alignment typically produces uneven tread-wear (figure H) either to the inside or outside shoulder of your tire. Simple alignments, at the proper intervals, will save you money in the long run in tire costs. It’s best to have your car aligned at least once a year.

2012 Hyundai ElantraHi, I have a misfire on #4 cylinder and I’m going to replace the ignition coil but I’m not sure which coil is for #4 cylinder. I need the cylinder order. Can anyone help me on this?

RESPONSE

Cylinder Order

The front of the engine or closest to the alternator belt is where you begin. The cylinders are in order from 1 through 4. So Cylinder number one would be the closest to the alternator belt.

Desription

The engine operating conditions (speed, load, warm-up condition, etc.) are detected by various sensors. Consequently these sensor signals and the ignition timing data, signals to interrupt the primary current are sent to the ECM. Therefore the ignition coil is activated, and timing is controlled.

Hyundai ElantraMy heater is blowing cold air. All hoses are hot, thermostat is new, system flushed. I can’t find the blend door actuator. Is this the problem? How can I fix this?

RESPONSE

That is definitely a possibility.  Consequently it may also be a stuck blend door or damaged unit. There is also the possibility that a vacuum hose is loose or damaged. The blend door actuator should be located behind the center of the dash, on the left end of the HVAC housing. In the diagram the blend door is referred to as the temperature door. The actuator is referred to as a vacuum motor.

The heater unit houses the heater core, vent/defrost mode door, temperature blend mode door, and the fresh/recirculated air mode door. Coolant flows continually through the heater core. In conclusion the amount of heat is controlled by blending air across the heater core with fresh/recirculated air being vented to selected outlets.

2000 Hyundai Accent loud fuel pump noise

Hyundai AccentHi, we thought we had a failing fuel pump as the car was having intermittent starting issues, sometimes it would start other times not. It always turned over but wasn’t getting fuel. So we replaced fuel pump with new and still had problem, worked out the problem was a bad earth(ground) and old pump worked fine. My problem is that when the new pump was installed, at idle it is normal and quiet but when driving the faster you drive the louder it gets, it is a hum sort of fuel pump noise that is louder than the engine noise. Thought maybe new pump was faulty so took back out and replaced it with the original old one, now that is doing the same thing ???? Noise was never a problem before. I’ve checked the sock like filter on the base of the pump and other parts within the plastic assembly and there is no obvious blockages ……. the car is not hesitating or acting as if it’s starving for fuel when accelerating it’s just the noise of the pump …… any ideas on why this would happen ??? I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks heaps Ben

RESPONSE

Fuel Pump Noise

Noise is a form of vibration. That being said, many d0-it-yourself’ers tend to leave out the rubber o-ring gasket. The fuel pump is sometimes difficult to seat with the new rubber o-ring or with the old one for that matter. So many have let out the o-ring. This can cause two problems. One problem is that is creates an evap system leak. And two, it can cause excessive fuel pump noise. The fuel pump noise will resonate and without the o-ring in place it turns the fuel tank into a loud speaker. Of course the noise would be louder on an empty tank and get quieter with a full tank.

I want to also suggest that you double check the area under the rear seat. Make certain any noise dampening was put back into place. Also make sure the inspection panel is back in place and properly secured. Make sure the fuel filter is also secured back in its bracket.

Fuel Pump Replacement

To Remove:
  1. Press the two taps under the rear seat and raise the seat.
  2. Detach the inspection panel of the fuel pump.
  3. To reduce the internal pressure of the fuel lines and hoses, start the engine with the fuel pump disconnected and wait until it stops.
    Note: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel main pipe and hose otherwise fuel will spill out.

  1. Disconnect or remove the following:◦Negative battery cable
    ◦Eye bolts while holding the fuel filter nuts securely
    CAUTION
    Cover the fuel filter with a shop towel to avoid residual gasoline from splashing.

    ◦Fuel filter mounting bolts
    ◦Fuel filter from the fuel filter clamp

    To Install:

    1.Install or connect the following:

◦Fuel filter from the fuel filter clamp
◦Fuel filter mounting bolts
◦Eye bolts
◦Negative battery cable
◦Inspection panel of the fuel pump

Code P0340 2009 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 gls

2009 Hyundai SonataWe have a code p0340 CEL and the camshaft sensor has been changed. I need to replace the 3 wires in the harness from the ECM to cps could you provide the wiring diagram? It is a 2009 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 GLS.

RESPONSE

Hyundai Code P0340 – Camshaft Position Sensor ‘A’ Circuit Malfunction Bank 1 Or Single Sensor

First of All the Camshaft Position Sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning. Therefore this information is used by the Engine Control Module(ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. The camshaft position sensor senses the retraction of camshaft (intake) to identify a particular cylinder. Hence the camshaft position sensor senses the piston position. The sensor system consists of a rotating part, typically a disc, as well as a static part, the actual sensor.

When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. As a result the changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. While the change in the magnetic field cause the voltage from the sensor to change.

In conclusion when the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position sensor provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification signals.

Code P0340 Possible causes

– Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor
– Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
– Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
– Faulty starter motor
– Starting system circuit
– Dead (Weak) battery
