Replying to: cruiser10 (Jan 03, 2007 9:08 pm) SERVICE MANUAL Applies to: Santa Fe 2001-2004 and Sonata 2001-2004 GROUP Fuel System MFI Control System INSPECTING THE MFI SYSTEM If the MFI system components (sensors, PCM, injector, etc.) fail, the interruption or failure to supply the proper amount of fuel for various engine operating conditions will result. The following situations may be encountered: Engine is hard to start or does not start at all Unstable idle Poor driveability If any of the above conditions is noted, first check for trouble codes and make basic engine checks (ignition system malfunction, incorrect engine adjustment, etc.). Then, inspect the MFI system components. ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS Diagnostic trouble codes are set as follows:After the PCM first detects a malfunction, a diagnostic trouble code is recorded when the engine is restarted and the same malfunction is re-detected. (The malfunction is detected in driving cycle). However, for fuel system rich/lean misfiring, a diagnostic trouble code is recorded on the first detection of the malfunction. Erasing diagnostic trouble codes:After recording the diagnostic trouble code, if the PCM does not re-detect the malfunction for 40 driving cycles, the diagnostic trouble code will be erased from the PCM memory. However, for fuel system rich/lean or misfiring, the diagnostic trouble code will be erased if both of the following conditions are met: When driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature, etc.) are identical to those when the malfunction was first recorded. When the PCM does not re-detect the malfunction for 80 driving cycles. NOTE A "driving cycle" is completed as soon as the vehicle goes into closed-loop operation. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) The MIL lights up to notify the driver that there is a problem with the vehicle. However the MIL will go off automatically after 3 subsequent sequential driving cycles that do not redetected the same malfunctions. Immediately after the ignition switch is turned on, the MIL is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that the light operates normally. The following Items can be indicated by the MIL: Catalyst Fuel system Air flow sensor (MAF sensor) Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT sensor) Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT sensor) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Front Oxygen Sensor Rear Oxygen Sensor Heater Rear Oxygen Sensor Front Oxygen Sensor Heater Injector Misfire Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP sensor) Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP sensor) Evaporative Emission Control System Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Idle Speed Control PCM Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor (Except 2.7L V6 engine) Idle Switch EGR System (Except 2.7L V6 engine). Inspecting the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) After turning the ignition key on, check that the light illuminates for 5 seconds without the engine running. If the light does not illuminate, check for an open circuit in the harness, blown fuse and blown bulb. SELF-DIAGNOSIS The PCM monitors the input/output signals (some signals at all times and others under specified conditions). When the PCM detects an irregularity, it memorizes the diagnostic trouble code, and outputs the signal to the self-diagnosis output terminal. The diagnosis results can be read by a Generic Scan Tool (GST) or Hi-Scan Pro. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will remain in the PCM as long as battery power is maintained. The diagnostic trouble code will however be erased when the battery terminal or the powertrain control module (PCM) connector is disconnected or erased using the Generic Scan Tool. CHECKING PROCEDURE (SELF-DIAGNOSIS) NOTE When battery voltage is excessively low, diagnostic trouble codes can not be read. Be sure to check the battery for voltage and the charging system before starting the test. Codes are erased if the battery or the PCM connector is disconnected. Do not disconnect the battery before the diagnostic trouble codes are completely read and recorded. Inspection Procedure (Using Generic Scan Tool) Turn OFF the ignition switch. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector on the lower crash pad. Turn ON the ignition switch. Use the scan tool to check the diagnostic trouble code. Repair the faulty part from the diagnosis chart. Erase the diagnostic trouble code. Disconnect the scan tool.

| I am very concerned about the 18 inch tires than come on the se santa fe. I am told by two tire dealers that 18 inchers are more for performance than for long life. I was told by firestone that no 18 inch will get more than 40K max. if that much. Seeing that I am going in the morning to possibly buy one? I have read in this forum that owners are reporting tires wearing out in as little as 20K. This tire size is very expensive. I can get a GLS with 16 inches but only santa fe owners can tell me if cost trade off is worth it. Is it? | |

Replying to: thunderbird (Jan 05, 2007 5:40 pm) But seriously, I'm not concerned about the 18 inch wheels. I have not yet heard from a 2007 Santa Fe owner with enough miles to assess tire wear. The big problem with 18 inch wheels is that most of them use tires with tiny sidewall heights, stiffer sidewalls, and softer tread material to increase traction. The Santa Fe uses a 235/60 R18 sized tire with a fairly high sidewall (60% of the 235mm width). Manufacturers should be able to build tires with decent wear capabilities in this size. My only real concern right now is that this is not currently a popular tire size so the selection of available tires is limited. A quick check at TireRack shows about 6 tires that will fit. I have no idea how my factory Bridgestone Dueler H/T D684 II tires will wear. Since many Crossovers are going to 18 inch wheels, I'm sure the tire selection will improve in the next few years. I absolutely love my Santa Fe Limited AWD, which is one of the safest vehicles you can buy that's not a minivan or monster SUV.

Replying to: thunderbird (Jan 05, 2007 5:40 pm) That is a better comparison than others and your opinions. Screw Firestone!

| Went to the dealer yesterday for my first oil change. I told them about the driver seat issue and they said they would look at it after they changed the oil. Turns out the switch is bad. They will order it and install when it comes in. Also asked them to enable the door locks when driving. That went well. They lock at around 15-20 mph. Cool. | |
