#1 of 10 Cabin Air Quality Button by tallyclassic Mar 12, 2008 (6:33 am)
In my '07 SantaFe Ltd there is a cabin Air Quality Button that senses when the incoming air is introducing traffic exhaust into the cabin. This button seems to be very finicky lately and will not light at all. Then some days it will. I've tried it with the Auto Temp on and off, manual heat, manual air and it just won't come on.    Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing that I haven't done is checked the cabin filter.

Replying to: somedai1 (Mar 12, 2008 6:49 pm) Of course..... Since the Air Quality button light doesn't light, it doesn't light the recirculate button either. If I manually push the recirculate button, then it switches. Replies to this message: tallyclassic (Apr 11, 2008 7:18 am)

Replying to: tallyclassic (Mar 13, 2008 9:05 am) Figured out the button. I had taken out the cabin filter, just in case it was clogged and the air quality button light still would not stay lit. Got a filter, installed it, now the button works as advertised. Guess there must be some sort of sensor to tell if the filter is installed and flowing.

Check your "cabin filter". It's pretty easy to replace and you can get them on EBay for $11. They get rather filthy fast. Just like a "replace bag" in your vacuum, there is a sensor.

Replying to: mikebutkus (May 04, 2009 2:39 pm) I just changed the cabin filter in my 07 santa fe. I got one locally for $19.00. You are correct, it is easy th change. I park mine by a tree most of the time,so will need to change it more often. Mine was so nasty, im suprised it even worked.

Replying to: bnbernie (May 05, 2009 9:25 am) it's easy to do - i paid to have it done - then i realized how easy it was i told the people at the dealer i'd do it myself. to my surprise - one of the clips was broken when I went to do it - i wonder if it was done intentionally to make it hard for me or they just broke it last time they did it and didn't say anything. I now use a custom made filter that is washable so it will pay for itself over time and i won't be buying anymore filters...

Replying to: somedai1 (May 05, 2009 10:30 am) Somedai - please explain how you managed to get a custom made cabin filter - did you make it yourself, or is it off the shelf ?If so, where from?   Thanks. Replies to this message: somedai1 (May 06, 2009 2:43 pm)

Replying to: jcwsbltd (May 06, 2009 8:30 am) LOL! My secret- if it works well over time - i'll have to market it!

These are available on-line. Ebay or any auto on-line store and maybe some local stores. They are $12+. Not that hard to replace if you read the instructions. They are behind the glove box. Getting to it and understanding the instructions is the only problem. The dealer may charge your $30 just for the filter. They are just like the filter on vacuums. They cost $2 to make and stores sell them for $22+ I can buy a jacuzzi water filter for $48 at the pool store or on-line for $8. They are from the same companies. Just going through fewer hands and less mark up.
