Cooling System: Service and Repair
COOLANT LEAK CHECK
1. Loosen the radiator cap.
2. Confirm that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
3. Install a radiator cap tester to the radiator filler neck and apply 150 kPa (21 psi, 1.53 kg/cm2) pressure. Hold for two minutes in that
condition, while checking for leakage from the radiator, hoses or connections.
CAUTION:
1) Radiator coolant may be extremely hot. Do not open the system while hot, or scalding water could spray out causing personal injury.
Allow vehicle to cool before servicing this system.
2) Be sure to completely clean away any moisture from the places checked.
3) When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill any coolant from it.
4) Be careful, when installing and removing the tester and when testing, not to deform the filler neck of the radiator.
Example
The safe operating temperature is -15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at coolant temperature of 20°C (68°F)
CAUTION: If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anticorrosion property will be adversely affected. In addition, if the
concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling properties will decrease, adversely affecting the engine. For these
reasons, be sure to maintain the concentration level within the specified range. Do not mix brands of coolant.

Fuel Delivery and Air Induction: Description and Operation
MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) SYSTEM
The MFI system employs the signals from the heated oxygen sensor to activate and control the injector installed in the manifold for each
cylinder, precisely regulating the air/fuel mixture ratio and reducing emissions.
This allows the engine to produce exhaust gases of the proper composition to permit the use of a three-way catalyst. The three-way catalyst is
designed to convert the three pollutants (1) hydrocarbons (HC), (2) carbon monoxide (CO), and (3) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless
substances. The two operating modes in the MFI system are as follows:
1. Open Loop-air/fuel ratio is controlled by information programmed into the ECM during the manufacturing process.
2. Closed Loop-air/fuel ratio is varied by the ECM based on information supplied by the heated oxygen sensor.

Volume Air Flow Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Circuit Testing
VOLUME AIR FLOW (VAF) SENSOR
The VAF Sensor measures the intake air volume. It makes use of a Karman vortex to detect the air flow rate and sends it to the ECM as the
intake air volume signal. The ECM uses this intake air volume signal to decide the basic fuel injection duration.
NOTE:
1. If the engine stalls occasionally, crank the engine and shake the VAF Sensor harness. If the engine stalls, check for the poor contact of the
VAF Sensor connector.
2. If the VAF Sensor output frequency is other than 0 when the ignition switch is turned on (do not start the engine), check for the faulty VAF
Sensor of ECM.
3. If the engine can be idle even if the VAF Sensor output frequency is out of specification, check for the following conditions.
- Disturbed air flow in the VAF Sensor. Disconnected air duct, clogged air cleaner filter.
- Poor combustion in the cylinder. Faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, injector incorrect compression.
- Air leaks in the intake manifold.
- Loose EGR valve seat.
Using GST
NOTE: When the vehicle is new [within initial operation of about 500 km (300 miles)], the volume air flow sensor output frequency may be
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 2

about 10% higher.
DTC - P0100
Detection Condition
The Volume Air Flow (VAF) sensor is located in the air cleaner. The sensor measures the volume of air passing though the air intake and
generates a pulsed signal. The Engine Control Module (ECM) counts the pulses generated by the sensor and uses the signal to set fuel
injector base pulse width.

The starting point of each system section is the electrical diagram, these diagrams show how all the components work together, such as electrical
current paths from power source to ground (via electrical load), switch connections at each positions, and other related circuit functions.
It is important to fully understand how a circuit work prior to troubleshooting and diagnosis.
Splice Identification
A splice identification symbol consists of a wiring harness location classification symbol corresponding to each wiring harness location and number
peculiar to the splice. These splice locations can be found in the HARNESS LAYOUTS.

CAUTION
Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the specified fuse that protests the circuit being tested. Do not use this tool in any situation to substitute
for input or output at the solid-state control module, such as ECM, TCM, etc.
Use a self powered test lamp or a ohmmeter to check for continuity. Self-powered test lamp is made of a bulb, battery and two leads are touched
together, the lamp will go on. Prior to checking the points, first disconnect the battery ground cable or remove the fuse which feeds the circuit you
are working on.
CAUTION:
Never use a self-powered test lamp on circuits that contain solid state modules. Damage to these units may result.
An ohmmeter can be used in place of a self-powered test lamp. The ohmmeter shows how much resistance there is between two points along a
circuit. Low resistance means good continuity.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 8
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 339
Circuits which include any solid-state devices should be tested only with at 10 Mega Ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. When
measuring resistance with a digital multimeter, battery negative terminal should be disconnected. Otherwise, there may be incorrect readings.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make an ohmmeter give a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement, take
one reading, reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the solid-state device is affecting the measurement.
This test measures voltage in a circuit. When testing for voltage at a connector, you do not have to separate the two halves of the connector. Instead,
probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of the connector because dirt and corrosion between its contact surfaces can cause
electrical problems.
1. Connect one lead of a test lamp or voltmeter to a ground. If you are using a voltmeter, be sure it is the voltmeter's negative lead test you have
connected to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test lamp or voltmeter to a selected test point (connector or terminal).
3. If the test lamp glows, there is voltage present. If you are using a voltmeter, note the voltage reading. A loss of more than 1 volt from
specifications indicates a problem.
Troubleshooting Equipment
Short finder is available to locate short to a ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic field in the shorted circuit and shows you the
location of the short through body trim or sheet metal.
Use a test lamp or a voltmeter on circuits without solid-state units and use a test lamp to check for voltage. A test lamp is made up of 12-Volt bulb
with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present.
When the bulb goes on, there is voltage at the point being tested.
CAUTION
A number of circuits include solid-state modules such as Engine Control Module (ECM) used with computer command control injection. Voltage
in these circuits should be tested only with a 10-Mega Ohm or higher impedance digital voltmeter. Never use a test lamp on circuits that contain
solid-state units. Damage to the units may result.
A voltmeter can be used in place of a test lamp. While a test lamp shows whether the voltage is present or not, a voltmeter indicates how much
voltage is present.

System Operation
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
- The recording condition of diagnostic trouble code After the ECM first detects a malfunction, a diagnostic trouble code is recorded when he
engine is restarted and the same malfunction is re-detected. (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.
- The erasing condition of diagnostic trouble code. After recording the diagnostic trouble code, if the ECM does not re-detect the malfunction
for 40 driving cycles, the diagnostic trouble code will be erased from the ECM memory. However, for fuel system rich/lean or misfiring, the
diagnostic trouble code will be erased under the following conditions.
- When driving conditions (engine speed, engine coolant temperature, etc.) are similar to those when the malfunction was first recorded.
- When the ECM does not re-detect the malfunction for 80 driving cycles.
NOTE A "driving cycle" consists of engine start-up, vehicle operation beyond the beginning of closed loop operation.

Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 512
NOTE: Most intermittent malfunctions occur under certain conditions. If those conditions can be identified, the cause will be easier to find.
SIMULATION TESTS
For these simulation tests, shake, then gently bend, pull and twist the wiring of each of these examples to duplicate the intermittent
malfunction.
- Shake the connector up-and-down, and right-and-left.
- Shake the wiring harness up-and-down, and right-and-left.
- Vibrate the part or sensor.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The ECM monitors the input/output signals (some signals at all times and the others under specified conditions). When the ECM 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 out Generic Scan Tool (GST). Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will remain in the ECM as long as battery power is maintained. The
diagnostic trouble code will, however, be erased when the battery terminal or the engine control module (ECM) connector is disconnected or
erased by Generic Scan Tool.
NOTE:
1. When battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes can not be read. Be sure to check the battery for voltage and charging system before
starting the test.
2. Diagnosis memory is erased if the battery or the ECM connector is disconnected. Do not disconnect the battery before the diagnostic trouble
codes are completely read and recorded.
2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector on the lower crash pad.
3. Turn ON the ignition switch.
4. Use the Generic Scan Tool (GST) to check the diagnostic trouble code.
5. Repair the faulty part from the diagnosis chart.
6. Erase the diagnostic trouble code.
7. Disconnect the GST.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The ECM monitor the input/output signals (some signals at all times and the others under specified conditions). When the ECM detects that an
irregularity, it memorize the diagnostic trouble code, and outputs the signal to the self-diagnosis output terminal. The diagnosis results can be
read out Generic Scan Tool (GST). Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will remain in the ECM as long as battery power is maintained. The
diagnostic trouble code will however, be erased when the battery terminal or the engine control module (ECM) connector is disconnected or
erased by Generic Scan Tool.
NOTE
(1) When battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes can not be read. Be sure to check the battery for voltage and charging system before
starting the test.
(2) Diagnostic memory is erased if the battery or the ECM connector is disconnected. Do not disconnect the battery before the diagnostic trouble

The Volume Air Flow (VAF) sensor is located in the air cleaner. The sensor measures the volume of air passing though the air intake and
generates a pulsed signal. The Engine Control Module (ECM) counts the pulses generated by the sensor and uses the signal to set fuel
injector base pulse width.

Detection Condition
The barometric pressure sensor is one of three sensors that make up the Volume Air Flow (VAF) sensor. The barometric pressure sensor is
essentially a strain gauge used to measure atmospheric pressure. Inside the sensor is a metal diaphragm with a small wire attached. The
diaphragm flexes according to changes in atmospheric pressure. When the diaphragm flexes, the wire attached to it stretches, changing the
resistance of the wire. The Engine Control Module (ECM) applies five volts to the barometric pressure sensor and measures the voltage drop
across the sensor. Sensor output is in volts and as atmospheric pressure decreases (higher altitudes), the voltage drop across the sensor
increases.

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is one of two sensors that work with the Volume Air Flow (VAF) sensor located in the air cleaner.
The IAT sensor is a variable resistor whose resistance changes as the temperature of the air flowing through the air intake changes. The
Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the IAT sensor input to adjust fuel injector pulse width. When the temperature sensed is cold, the ECM
enriches fuel mixture by increasing injector pulse width; as the air warms, the injector pulse width time is shortened.

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is located in the coolant passage of the cylinder head. The ECT sensor is a variable resistor
whose resistance changes as the temperature of the engine coolant flowing past the sensor changes. When coolant temperature is low, sensor
resistance is high; when coolant temperature is high, sensor resistance is low.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) checks ECT voltage fifty times per second and uses the information to adjust fuel injector pulse width
and ignition timing. When the temperature sensed is very cold, the ECM enriches the fuel mixture.

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor mounts on the side of the throttle body and is connected to the throttle blade shaft. The TP sensor is a
variable resistor (potentiometer) whose resistance changes according to throttle blade shaft position. During acceleration, the TP sensor
resistance decreases; during deceleration, the TP sensor resistance increases. The TP sensor also includes an idle position switch. The switch
is closed in the idle position. The Engine Control Module (ECM) applies a reference voltage to the TP sensor and then measures the voltage
that is present on the TP sensor signal circuit. The ECM uses the TP sensor signal to adjust timing and injector pulse width. The TP sensor
signal along with the VAF sensor signal is used by the ECM to calculate engine load.

Detection Condition
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three way catalytic converter is used, but for the
most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This
characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exact gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air-fuel ratio.
When the air-fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the
LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0V).
When the air-fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the exact gas is reduced and the oxygen
sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromotive force: 1V)
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN and controls the injection
time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to
perform accurate air-fuel ratio control.
The heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air
volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low) current flows to the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration
detection.

"Fuel trim" refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection time. Fuel trim includes short-term fuel trim and
long-term fuel trim. "Short term fuel trim" is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the air-fuel ratio at its ideal theoretical value.
The signal from the heated oxygen sensor indicates whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the ideal theoretical value,
triggering a reduction in fuel volume if the air-fuel ratio is rich and an increase in fuel volume if it is lean. "Long-term fuel trim" is overall
fuel compensation carried out long-term to compensate for continual deviation of the short-term fuel trim from the central value due to
individual engine differences, wear over time and changes in the usage environment. If both the short-term fuel trim and long-term fuel trim
are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.

"Fuel trim" refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection time. Fuel trim includes short-term fuel trim and
long-term fuel trim. "Short term fuel trim" is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the air-fuel ratio at its ideal theoretical value.
The signal from the heated oxygen sensor indicates whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN compared to the ideal theoretical value,
triggering a reduction in fuel volume if the air-fuel ratio is rich and an increase in fuel volume if it is lean. "Long-term fuel trim" is overall
fuel compensation carried out long-term to compensate for continual deviation of the short-term fuel trim from the central value due to
individual engine differences, wear over time and changes in the usage environment. If both the short-term fuel trim and long-term fuel trim
are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.

DESCRIPTION
With the ignition switch in ON or START, voltage is applied to the ignition coil. The ignition coil consists of two coils. High tension leads
go to each cylinder from the ignition coil. The ignition coil fires two spark plugs every power stroke (the cylinder under compression and the
cylinder on the exhaust stroke). Coil number one fires cylinders 1 and 4. Coil number two fires cylinders 2 and 3.
The ignition power transistor, controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM), provides a switching circuit to ground for energizing the
primary ignition coils. When a primary ignition coil is energized and deenergized, the secondary coil produces a high voltage spike across the
attached spark plugs. At the same time, the tach interface (part of the ignition power transistor) provides the ECM and Transaxle Control
Module (TCM) with an RPM signal.

The ECM compares the waveform of the oxygen sensor located before the catalyst with the waveform of the oxygen sensor located after the
catalyst to determine whether or not catalyst performance has deteriorated.
Air-fuel ratio feedback compensation keeps the waveform of the oxygen sensor before the catalyst repeatedly changing back and forth from
rich to lean.
It the catalyst is functioning normally, the waveform of the oxygen sensor after the catalyst switches back and forth between rich and lean
much more slowly than the waveform of the oxygen sensor before the catalyst.
But when both waveforms change at a similar rate, it indicates that catalyst performance has deteriorated.

- At each wheel hub there is a tone wheel and an inductive sensor, which supplies wheel speed information to the ABS Control Module
(ABSCM). The sensor comprises a magnet and a pole piece surrounded by a coil. When the tone wheel rotates adjacent to the sensor pole
piece, an alternating current signal is generated in the coil with a frequency proportional to wheel speed.
- A special integrated circuit in the ABSCM translates the generated AC signal to a square wave.

Cautions:
1. This schedule is best driven on a dyno if available, otherwise find the best road with least traffic
2. Obey speed limits and drive safely.
3. If you lose the schedule due to traffic, attempt to get back to it when conditions are safe to do so.
4. Keep your eye on the road and avoid looking at the schedule constantly; its best to have a passenger describe the schedule to you while
driving.

A/C ODOR - CLEANING PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION:
An Air Conditioning Refresher is available to clean and deodorize vehicle air conditioning systems. The Refresher will assist in the elimination of
musty, unpleasant odors which may come from the air vents when the air conditioner is first turned on in hot, humid climates. This odor may be the
result of debris in the heater/evaporator case and/or microbial growth on the evaporator core.
This refresher is not just a deodorant, but also a two-stage chemical cleaning process. The first cleaning agent is sprayed under pressure to clean
and disinfect the evaporator core and case. The second step rinses and helps inhibit the reoccurrence of odor-causing build up. The rinse leaves a
citrus scent.
An application tool kit is required to perform the operation. The tool kit includes an application wand (for all vehicles except 1986-89 Excels), hose
attachments, hanger, and laminated instructions. An optional wand for 1986-89 Excels is available separately. The A/C Refresher Chemical Kit
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 6

contains a single application.
1. Remove the glove box, main lower dash pad assembly, and lower dash pad cover (see appropriate Shop Manual for details).
A. Draw a vertical line that is flush with the left edge of the cover plate boss.
B. Measure 3 inches up from the case joint along the vertical line made in step A.
3. Using a 7 mm drill bit, drill a hole shallow enough to just pierce through the evaporator casing at the location marked from step 2.
CAUTION:
Drill only deep enough to pierce the evaporator case.
1. Remove the glove box (On 1986-89 Excel, the glove box does not need to be removed).
2. Disconnect the connector to the blower motor resistor and remove the blower motor resistor assembly.
1. Remove the glove box, and main lower dash pad assembly (on Accent, the glove box only needs to be lowered).
A. Draw a vertical line on the upper half of the evaporator casing that is flush with the left edge of the right side mounting bracket.
B. Measure 2 inches up from the casing joint along the vertical line made in step A.
3. Using a 7 mm drill bit, drill a hole shallow enough to just pierce through the evaporator casing at the location marked from step 2.
CAUTION:
Drill only deep enough to pierce the evaporator case.

WATER LEAK DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides detection methods and repair procedures for interior water leaks.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE:
1. Where is it wet? (near the wheel house, in the spare tire well, at the front, at the back, etc.)
2. When does it leak? (while parked level, while parked on a slope, while driving, only during heavy down pours)
3. What color is the moisture? (muddy water from the road surface, clean water from above)
4. How wet? (light dampness after a heavy rain, very wet while/after driving in a drizzle)
Inspection Methods
Flashlight: Shine a strong light on one side of the suspected leak area and look for light on the other side.
Water spray: Use a shower head or sprinkler head to spray water along the suspected leak area. DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER (25
PSI maximum). Wait until the leaks begin, and mark the leaks. Spray talcum powder on the dry side of the leak area to make the leaks more
traceable.
Water flow: This test is useful for pinpointing a leak first detected with the water spray test. Direct a flow of water from an open hose to the lowest
point of the suspected leak area. Slowly move the hose upwards until the leak is detected. DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER (25 PSI
maximum).
Soap bubble test: Mix 1 part liquid dishwashing soap and 3 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the inside of the suspected leak
area. Use a blow gun to blow air along the suspected leak area. Use high pressure air for metal to metal weld seams and low pressure (15-30 psi) for
testing rubber seals. The soap will form large bubbles in the leak areas. Along glass runs and door seals, small bubbles will form when too high an
air pressure is used, and large bubbles will form at potential leak points.
Soap bubble test with a pressurized car: Close all of the doors and windows, turn on the ignition key (engine off) and set the blower fan to high in
the fresh air mode. This will pressurize the interior of the vehicle. Spray the dish soap and water solution onto the vehicle exterior over the
suspected leak areas. The soap will form large bubbles where it leaks out. This test can also be used to locate wind leak locations.
Tracing powder: To determine if a seal has consistent contact, spray tracing powder (Kent Industries "Tracing Powder" or 3M "Leak Detection
Powder") onto the metal panel, then shut the panel. The powder should transfer to the seal where the seal has adequate contact.
Ultra sound leak detectors: Place the transmitter in the vehicle and follow along the suspected seam with the detector. Follow the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
Inspection Examples
Sunroof Area Leaks:
If the car has a sunroof, carefully pour water into the sunroof tray. Water should leak out onto the ground near each of the vehicle tires if the four
sunroof drain tubes are not clogged with leaves or debris, or kinked. Sometimes a kinked drain hose may cause leakage into the passenger
compartment if the sunroof tray does not drain fast enough. Sunroof leaks may travel. A leak onto the headliner may dampen the carpet near the
"A" pillar, or drain through the dome lamp screws.
Door Leaks:
1. If water appears on the floor next to one of the doors, remove the inner door panel.
2. Inspect the door trim seal (or plastic shield) for a complete seal around the edge, and any unusual holes or tears. You can spray the inside
(wet side) of the door trim seal with powdered spray, such as Kent Industries "Tracing Powder" or 3M "Leak Detection Powder".
3. Reinstall the door trim seal, but not the inner door trim panel. Drive the car in the conditions which create the leak. Inspect the area for signs
of water leakage. If the powdered spray was used, look for a trail of powder.
Another area to inspect is door drains. Insure the drains are free and clear and that water can easily exit the bottom of the doors. If it can't, the water
can fill up in the door and spill into the car.
1. Push a wire tie (tie wrap, zip tie) end up each drain hole, or run water from a low pressure hose into the door, to make sure that the door drain
is unobstructed.
2. Use a plastic trim removal tool to create a small gap between the door glass and the beltline moulding at the bottom of the glass.
3. With the door open, pour the water at the glass, letting it drain into the door. The water should drain freely through the drains.
Most blockages can be cleared with a short piece of wire inserted through the drain, but leaves and debris or excess cavity wax may require
removing the inner door trim panel and the door trim seal. Be certain not to scratch the paint inside the door during cleaning, as the scratch may
result in corrosion.

Water leaks through the fresh air intake plenum may drain through the heater blower motor resistor block connector, or in the area around the
heater blower. Ask the customer when the condition occurs:
- If the leak occurs regardless of fan speed, the cause may be a leaking seam.
- If it occurs after the fan has been operated at a high speed, water may be drawn in with the air.
- If it occurs only during extended rain storms, the leak could be a slow seep.
- If it occurs during car washes as well as rain storms, look for a larger leak.
1. Prepare by removing the plastic cowl top cover at the base of the windshield. Carefully reach inside the cowl to the right side to find the fresh
air intake plenum opening. Make sure that there is no debris around the intake.
2. Run low pressure water from a garden hose into the cowl area, allowing most of the water to drain towards the right side of the cowl. The
water should drain freely through the right fender. If it does not, look for a blockage in the far right side of the cowl area. Use the same
procedure to check the drainage towards the left side of the cowl.
3. Run the water towards the right again. Set the fan to high speed, and select Fresh" air intake. See if any moisture appears around the heater
blower motor area. This may be caused by debris blocking the drainage through the fender. If there are no debris, remove the blower motor
,and fan assembly. Look up into the plenum area to see if any leaks are visible. Use your hand to feel for moisture. Identify the welded seam
that the water leaks through, and apply seam sealer to it. If possible, repair the seam from the outside cowl area.
Another source of leakage may be at the mud flap for the front tire. The seam behind the mud flap may get dirt & sand blown into it, essentially
sand blasting the sealer away. As a result, the door sill may fill with water. If necessary, the seam may need to be resealed.
Leak Repair
- Repair leaking seals by repositioning misinstalled seals, or replacing damaged seals.
- Use the appropriate seam sealer listed in TSB # 93-00-007 (Information Concerning Sealants) to correct metal to metal seam leaks. ALWAYS
APPLY THE SEALANT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEAKING SEAM. Failure to do this may result in a new leak in a nearby area. Cover
the under car seam repairs with a spray on undercoating.
- Use 3M Strip Caulk (3M # 8578) or equivalent to repair door moisture barrier seals.
- Use 3M Short Cut Windshield Adhesive Sealant (3M # 08600) or equivalent to seal leaks around windshields, backlights, and fixed side glass.

DELAYED ENGAGEMENT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may exhibit a delayed engagement into Drive or Reverse after the vehicle has been parked for several hours. This condition may be
due to ATF in the torque converter draining back through a leaking seal inside the oil pump. As a result, when Drive or Reverse are engaged,
several seconds may be required to refill the torque converter.
^ After the vehicle has been parked more than 8 hours, but does not occur when the vehicle has been parked less than 1 hour, proceed to Service
Procedure.
^ Anytime the vehicle is started and shifted into gear, refer to TSB 97-40-011-1.

FUEL TRIM CODE DIAGNOSIS
DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on Hyundai OBD II vehicles (all 1996 and later models) can adjust the engine Air to Fuel (A/F) ratio to
compensate for variations in operating conditions. This adjustment only takes place during "Closed Loop" operation.
The PCM uses input from the following components to determine the amount of fuel to deliver:
^ Oxygen sensors
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 12
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 762
The ability to adjust the A/F ratio enables the PCM to compensate for engine, fuel and sensor variations as well as temperature, altitude and
humidity. This enables the vehicle to maintain a stoichiometric (14.7 to 1) A/F ratio that will ensure optimal engine performance and minimal
emissions.
Since the PCM can change the A/F ratio to compensate for a wide range of conditions, an indicator is needed to identify that a compensation has
been made. Fuel Trim values shown on the HDS scan tool are the primary indicator that an adjustment in fuel delivery has taken place.
The scan tool displays the PCM's A/F ratio compensation as "Short Term" Fuel Trim (ST TRIM), Long Term Fuel Trim (LT TRIM), and "Oxygen
Sensor" Trim (TRIM B1 S1 and B1 S2). The most beneficial diagnostic information comes from Short Term" Fuel Trim and "Long Term" Fuel
Trim.
^ On a Sonata, the PCM continuously responds to the signals from the oxygen sensors to maintain the 14.7 to 1 A/F ratio by increasing or
decreasing fuel delivery.
^ On Accent, Elantra and Tiburon, the "Short Term" Fuel Trim indicates the amount of correction at idle and low rpm/load.
^ "Short Term" Fuel Trim values are positive when the PCM is increasing fuel delivery, negative when the PCM is decreasing fuel delivery.
"Short Term" Fuel Trim may read "0.0" for brief periods during transition from positive to negative (or negative to positive) operation. If the
"Short Term" Fuel Trim reads "0.0" for longer periods, it may indicate that the vehicle is in open loop.
^ On a Sonata, the "Short Term" Fuel Trim values are not retained in the PCM memory when the ignition is turned off.
^ On a Sonata, "Long Term" Fuel Trim values change to compensate when the "Short Term" Fuel Trim has reached its limit in one direction and
is unable to maintain the 14.7 to 1 A/F ratio.
^ On Accent, Elantra and Tiburon vehicles, the "Long Term" Fuel Trim indicates the amount of correction at high rpm/load.
^ The "Long Term" Fuel Trim correction range is -25% to +25%. Exceeding the -20% to +20% range will set a code on an Accent, Elantra and
Tiburon. Sonata vehicles will set a code when the -12.5% to +12.5% range is exceeded.
^ On a Sonata, a one digit change of the "Long Term" Fuel Trim value is roughly the equivalent of one entire "Short Term" Fuel Trim range. For
example: when the "Short Term" Fuel Trim reaches its limit, the "Long Term" Fuel Trim moves one digit. This process repeats until the A/F
ratio returns to 14.7 to 1 or the "Long Term" Fuel Trim correction range limit has been exceeded.
^ There is a preprogrammed "Long Term" Fuel Trim correction range that is acceptable for normal operation. When the "Long Term" Fuel Trim
exceeds this range in two driving cycles, the vehicle will set a diagnostic code (DTC), which will illuminate the check engine light.
^ "Long Term" Fuel Trim values are retained in the PCM's memory when the ignition is turned off. This allows the vehicle to "learn" a new fuel
delivery schedule, which is "fine tuned" for optimal performance.
A PCM that is increasing fuel delivery (to compensate for a "Lean" condition) will have a positive (+) "Long Term" Fuel Trim number. A PCM that
is decreasing fuel delivery (to compensate for a "Rich" condition) will have a negative (-) "Long Term" Fuel Trim number.
^ P1123 and P1124 are set at idle, low load and low engine speed operation. Codes set in these operating conditions are sometimes referred to as
additive Fuel Trim correction codes.
Note:
These codes are set when engine speed is less than approximately 1,000 rpm and the air flow sensor reading is less than 5 grams/sec.
^ P1127 and P1128 are set at moderate to high engine load and engine speed operation. These codes are sometimes called multiplicative Fuel
Trim correction codes.
^ The Sonata engine management system will only set one Fuel Trim code. Code P0170 will set when the "Long Term" Fuel Trim values are
"Rich" or "Lean" beyond the programmed limits.
^ The "Long Term" Fuel Trim correction range is -12.5% to +12.5% on Sonata vehicles. If the "Long Term" Fuel Trim value exceeds this range
in two consecutive trips, a code will be stored in the PCM.
^ The Fuel Trim values will indicate if the PCM is compensating rich or lean. A PCM that is increasing fuel delivery (to compensate for a "Lean"
condition) will have a positive (+) "Long Term" Fuel Trim number. A PCM that is decreasing fuel delivery (to compensate for a "Rich"
condition) will have a negative (-) "Long Term" Fuel Trim number.
C. Select CODES & DATA MENU from the engine "Main Menu".
D. Select FREEZE FRAME to retrieve the engine operating conditions that were present at the moment the DTC was set.
2. Check the vehicle to identify if codes other than Fuel Trim codes or driveability symptoms are present. A malfunction of any of the following
components may affect the Fuel Trim values:
If codes other than Fuel Trim codes are present, diagnose/repair these conditions before continuing with Fuel Trim diagnosis.
^ Check for vacuum or unmetered air leaks, concentrating on areas between the air flow sensor and the engine block. Are all the gaskets and
hoses properly installed? A vehicle with a vacuum leak will have an air flow sensor reading that is lower than normal at idle (see Air Flow
Sensor Table in this TSB). Accent, Elantra and Tiburon vehicles with a vacuum leak may also have a low load value.
^ Check the evaporative emission system. An intermittently sticking or stuck open purge solenoid valve may not set an evaporative code in a
1996 or 1997 SOHC Accent or Sonata, but may set a Fuel Trim code.
Check the air flow sensor calibration. If no vacuum leaks are present and the purge system is functioning properly, compare the air flow sensor
reading at idle and at 2500 rpm to the Air Flow Sensor Table. If readings are out of specification, swap the air flow sensor with a known good unit
and re-test.
^ Check the fuel pressure (for low pressure), fuel volume flow (replace fuel filter if necessary), injector part number, PCM part number and
perform the oxygen sensor scan tool test as noted in this TSB.
^ Check the evaporative emission system. An intermittently sticking or stuck open purge solenoid may not set an evaporative code in a 1996 or
1997 SOHO Accent or Sonata, but may set a Fuel Trim code.
^ Check the air flow sensor calibration. If no vacuum leaks are present and the purge system is functioning properly, compare the air flow sensor
reading at idle and at 2500 rpm to the Air Flow Sensor Table. If readings are out of specification, swap the air flow sensor with a known good
unit and re-test.
^ Check the fuel pressure (for high pressure), the fuel flow (for a return line restriction), the injector part number, the PCM part number and
perform the oxygen sensor scan tool test as noted in this TSB.
Note:
For 1996 Accent SOHC with diagnostic code P1123 only, refer to TSB # 96-36-004 (Powertrain Control Module EPROM Replacement
Procedure).
Note:
The table is supplied as general reference information. If the Fuel Trim conditions occur at different RPM, compare the air flow sensor reading
to a known good vehicle. A "new" vehicle or sensor may read a slightly higher value than normal.
D. Select "Engine"
E. Select "Data"
H. Select "02-B1-S1" and "O2-B1-S2" (front and rear oxygen sensors) and ENG RPM if no tachometer is available.
2. While holding the engine speed at 2500 rpm in "Neutral" or "Park" (with no load) observe the front and rear oxygen sensors for
approximately one minute. The front oxygen sensor should fluctuate rapidly between 0.095 and 0.995 V. The voltage should read higher than
0.600 V several times and lower than 0.350 V several times. The voltage should never exceed 1.00 V when using the scan tool.
If an Accent, Elantra or Tiburon front or rear oxygen sensor reads a fixed value of 0.425 V to 0.500 V, or a Sonata reads a fixed value of
0.010 to 0.080 V, check for an open/shorted oxygen sensor circuit or no output from the sensor.
The scan tool can also be used to check the sensors while the vehicle is being driven. An assistant is needed to perform this procedure. Use the scan
tool as set up in the previous test procedure.
1. While driving in first gear, accelerate so the engine speed is near 4000 rpm. Quickly release the accelerator and observe the readings from
both sensors. The sensors, should read lean (in the range of 0.20 V down to 0 V) on the scan tool due to the fuel cut-off during deceleration.
2. While driving in first gear, accelerate hard and observe both sensors. The sensors should read rich (in the range of 0.60 V to 1.0 V) on the
scan tool.

Surface rust on the brake rotors may occur it a vehicle has been parked for several days in an area where corrosive conditions were present. If the
rotor surface does rust, the area under the brake pads usually remains rust free. The difference in friction between the rusted and unrusted areas may
induce slight brake pedal pulsation, vibration and/or noise for several stops, but will improve as the brake pad friction linings polish the rust off the

^ First, tighten the spark plug finger tight. Once the gasket reaches the cylinder head, use a plug socket and torque wrench to tighten.
^ On plugs with crush washers: If the plug is new, insert the plug until the washer makes contact. Then, using a ratchet, rotate the plug a further
90 degrees.
^ If the plug is used, insert the plug until the washer makes contact. Then, using a ratchet, rotate the plug a further 30 degrees.
^ Care must be taken during installation that the spark plug socket is not slanted and does not slip causing insulator breakage.
2. The inner space must be large enough to avoid contact with the insulator.
3. The plug socket must completely cover the "hex" portion of the metal shell.
SERVICE TIP:
If an air conditioner (a/c) is not blowing cold and there is no power getting to the compressor you can use the Hi-Scan Pro to quickly diagnose
the condition. To start, enter the Engine Data menu and scroll down so that you can monitor the "A/C Switch" and "A/C Comp. Relay" (see
example top of the next column)
Start the vehicle and press the a/c switch so the indicator on the dash lights up. Next, use the charts to help find the condition based on the
Hi-Scan inputs you get from the vehicle being tested.

A. The vehicle's ECU has not received an input from the a/c control head. Use a DVOM and test signal voltage from the back of the a/c control
unit to the ECU. If a battery voltage signal is present at the a/c control unit, test for an open in the signal wire or the connection at the ECU.
(See applicable ETM)
B. The ECU has recognized the a/c switch input but is not turning the compressor on for a reason. Confirm the coolant temperature is below 240
degrees F by monitoring the ECT on the Hi-Scan Pro. Confirm the a/c system pressure is normal, if okay bypass the Triple Switch by
jumping pins 1 and 2 in the harness with the switch unplugged. If the compressor comes on with the switch bypassed there is a pressure
problem or the switch is bad. Test the Thermostatic switch in the evaporator according to the appropriate Shop Manual.
C. Check for a ground signal to the compressor relay. If no ground signal is present check the wire for an open between the junction block and
the ECU (see applicable ETM). Confirm that two pins at the relay have power with the key on. The relay is numbered on the bottom side.
Pins 86 and 30 should both have power. Check for an open wire between the relay and the compressor.

TIRE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information about materials and workmanship related types of tire damage and their coverage under
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 27
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 777
warranties. When a customer returns a tire for inspection and adjustment, refer to the information in this bulletin to help identify causes of damage
to tires.
There are three categories that can be used to guide tire replacement warranty coverage. They are:
^ Road hazard, customer abuse or non-warrantable vehicle mechanical concern - Customer' Responsibility
Sometimes the cause of tire damage is immediately apparent. In other cases however, only a thorough inspection of the tire will allow determination
of the cause and whether the damage is eligible for replacement under the tire manufacturer's warranty. Thorough inspection requires good lighting,
a clean dismounted tire and close examination of the inner and outer tire surfaces. Finding a point of penetration can sometimes be very difficult
and should be done on a tire spreader.
^ Hankook and kumho tire manufacturers' warranty coverage include a provision which allows the customer to go to either an authorized
Hyundai dealer or to the Hankook or Kumho tire dealer (as applicable) for tire warranty service. This provision allows for tire warranty service
at the first point of customer contact.
MICHELIN TIRES
^ Michelin tire manufacturer's warranty coverage requires the customer to go to a Michelin tire dealer for tire warranty service.
NOTE:
This TSB is limited to Hankook, Kumho and Michelin tire warranties.
Tire Glossary
BEAD:
The part of the tire that is constructed to hold the tire securely to the rim. It is made of high tensile steel wires wrapped in woven fabric and secured
within the ply ends.
BELT:
Narrow strips of fabric, fiberglass or steel cords running in a circumferential direction immediately under the tread in the crown of a tire (between
the tread and casing plies). They constrict the plies to provide the tire with high lateral stiffness, and act to help the tire resist deformation in its
footprint, and thus give more effective braking and traction. The belts also protect the air chamber against punctures.
CARCASS:
The tire body beneath the tread and sidewalls; also called casing.
CORD:
The strands of material forming the body plies or belt plies of the tire. Cords may be made from aramid, fiberglass, rayon, nylon, polyester or steel.
DOT MARKINGS:
A code molded into the sidewall of a tire signifying that the tire complies with U.S. Department of Transportation safety standards. The DOT code
includes an alphanumeric designator which can also identify the tire's manufacturer, production plant, date of production and brand.
GROOVE:
The space between two adjacent tread ribs or blocks; also called tread grooves.
INNERLINER:
The innermost layer of a tubeless tire. The innerliner prevents air from permeating through the tire.
OUT-OF-ROUND:
A condition where the tire is not round to within standards due to an uneven distribution of rubber, improper molding, etc.
ROTATION:
The changing of tires from front to rear or from side-to-side on a vehicle according to a set pattern to achieve even tread wear.
SECTION HEIGHT:
The height of the tire, measured from rim to the outer tread.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 28
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 778
SECTION WIDTH:
Maximum width of the tire not including any lettering or designs.
SHOULDER:
The area of a tire where the tread and sidewall meet. Also called tread.
SIDEWALL:
That portion of a tire between the tread and bead.
SIPES:
Special slits within a tread block that increase wet and snow traction. Sipes provide more biting edges and allow for the dispersion of water from
under the tread surface.
TIRE PLACARD:
A metal or paper tag permanently affixed to a vehicle which indicates the appropriate tire size and inflation pressures for the vehicle.
TREAD RIB:
The tread section usually composed of many tread blocks that runs around the circumference of the tire, separated by the circumferential tread
grooves.
TREAD DEPTH:
The distance between the surface of the tread and the bottom of the groove of a tire. It is usually measured at a few points located halfway between
the centerline and the edge of the tread.
TREADWEAR INDICATOR:
Narrow bands, sometimes called "wear bars," that appear across the tread surface of the tire when only 2/32 inch of tread remains.
TIRE SIZE:
The size of each tire is indicated by nominal width and rim diameter in inches and millimeters. Radial structure is indicated by the letter "R". For
some tires the aspect ratio is indicated by a percentage.
Conditions Covered By Tire Manufacturer's Warranty
The tires supplied on a Hyundai vehicle are covered against defects in material or workmanship under the tire manufacturer's warranty.
This section provides information on conditions that may be covered by the tire manufacturers' warranties. Review this section and the tire
manufacturers' warranty booklets. If you have any questions, please consult the tire manufacturers' distributors for specific details.
1. TREAD SEPARATION
Partial or complete separation between the rubber and the tire cord or between the layers of the tire cord.
Observation(s):
Check for a bulge on the tire shoulder and a longitudinal crack on the bottom of the grooves, possibly accompanied by a break through the rubber
surface. Both are usually accompanied by localized wear in the tread above the separation.
Prevention:
^ Avoid overloading
2. GROOVE CRACKING
Fine longitudinal cracks commonly found in the tread groove base. These cracks do not penetrate into the cord material of the tire. If the tire
continues to be used in this condition, the cracks may join together and may sometimes extend as far as the carcass. Cracking growth is also
increased in underinflated tire conditions.
Observation(s):
Check other tires on the vehicle for this condition. If there are only one or two cracks in the tire groove or if the crack continues up the side of the
groove wall, the cause of the crack is a cut inflicted by a road hazard condition and in that case, the tire is not warrantable.
Prevention:
^ Avoid overloading
3. SIDEWALL SEPARATION
Localized separation of the sidewall rubber and ply cord or between the plies can occur as shown below. This condition often times appears as a
bulge or bubble and may be felt by hand or with a probe.
Observation(s):
Check tire for proper inflation and observe the tire for absence of scuff marks, abrasion or chafing on the immediate area of damage.
Prevention:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 30
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 780
^ Avoid overloading
4. OPEN SPLICE
A localized detachment of the rubber stock between the block and sidewall caused by a lack or loss of adhesion where the rubber stock is joined.
An open splice may be a partial opening or a complete detachment and total perforation to the interior
Observation(s):
There should be no evidence of cuts or perforations in the open splice area. The open splice usually displays a smooth angular skive.
Prevention:
^ Avoid overloading
Observation(s):
Check for tine cracks on the tire sidewall. These cracks are generally less than 1/10th of an inch in length and do not penetrate to the interior of the
tire.
Prevention:
^ Store tires properly; keep tires away from direct sunlight, ozone sources, heat, wind, rain, etc.
^ Avoid overloading
5. SIDEWALL CRACKING
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 31
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 781
Fine cracks on the tire sidewall, running in a radial or circumferential direction. This type of crack may develop on the tire sidewall from ozone in
the atmosphere acting on the rubber. To replace a tire with this condition, refer to tire manufacturer's warranty booklet.
Observation(s):
Check for fine cracks on the tire sidewalk. These cracks are generally less than 1/10th of a inch in length and do not penetrate to the interior of the
tire.
Prevention:
^ Store tires properly; keep tires away from direct sunlight, ozone sources, heat, wind, rain, etc.
^ Avoid overloading
Separation of various tire materials (rubber, cord and wires) at the bead area near the rim line. Some of these can occur as a result of bead flow,
pinched bead or improper assembly of the tire.
Observation(s):
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 32
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 782
Check tire for a bulge and/or jagged cracks visible near the rim fitting line. Sometimes the cut may not be visible when the tire is mounted on the
wheel.
NOTE:
If the bead rubber is torn as a result of mis-assembly of the tire to the wheel by the assembly plant, coverage is related to the limited new vehicle
warranty and not to the tire manufacturer
Prevention:
^ Match tires with rim properly and mount tires according to proper procedure
7. INNERLINER SEPARATION
Separation appears as a bulge inside the tire. This condition usually occurs between inner rubber and carcass ply.
Observation(s):
Vehicle vibration, a difficult to balance wheel or ride quality conditions may result from inner liner separation. To confirm this condition, the tire
has to be dismounted. A bulge in the rubber may be visible or can be confirmed by lightly pressing with fingers on the bulged rubber.
Prevention:
^ Avoid overloading
This section provides information on the types of conditions not covered by the tire manufacturers' warranties. Review this section and the tire
manufacturer's warranty booklet. If you have any questions, please consult the tire manufacturer's distributor for specific details.
Crack or break in tire interior surface. This may be caused by sudden and excessive force applied to the tire exterior which exceeds reinforcing
material limits.
A severe side impact can cause the tire cord to break. This can result in a bulge in the sidewall when inflated.
To confirm this condition, look for any scrapes or scratches at or near the bulge, a bent rim flange, or a pinched/cut inner liner.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 34
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 784
NOTE:
The above condition should not be confused with sidewall indentations.
3. RUN FLAT
Another example of a road hazard occurs when a tire is grossly under-inflated. This causes the tire to overheat and eventually deteriorate into a run
flat condition.
Prevention:
4. SIDEWALL CHUNKING
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 35
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 785
Sidewall may chunk oft as shown. This may be caused by improper installation of a tire chain.
5. TREAD CHUNKING
Pieces of rubber may be torn or chunked out of tire's tread. This chunking may occur during vehicle testing on Dynamometer rolls.
The running condition causing chunk out on a roll test is different and much more severe than conditions encountered during over the road driving.
6. IRREGULAR WEAR
Uneven wear patterns may be caused by improper inflation pressures, misalignment, improper balance or suspension component damage. It should
be suggested to customers that they inspect their tires closely for signs of uneven wear at least once a month.
Camber or Toe wear indicates misalignment due to misadjusted, loose, worn or bent steering linkage components, or spring fatigue which causes
the vehicle's body to ride closer to the road.
8. SHOULDER WEAR
Preventions:
9. CENTER WEAR
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 37
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 787
Over inflation can result in premature wear of center section of the tire.
Prevention:
If tires have not been rotated according to schedule, irregular wear, cupping, and tire noise may result.
a. Long shipping period of vehicle with a low air pressure condition in the tires.
b. Keeping the vehicle in storage without change in the parking position. Technical Service Bulletin # 99-50-010 Date: 991101

1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 39
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 789
Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nuts can generate up to 300 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Overly torqued and/or unevenly torqued wheel
lug nuts may cause:
- Damage to the wheel nuts and lugs Steering wheel vibration and shimmy
PROCEDURE:
All wheel lug nuts should be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or using an applicable torque stick (torque limiting impact socket)
supplied by ACCUTORQ (TM) (or equivalent) on a 1/2 inch drive impact tool. The "ACCUTORQ (TM)" lug nut socket limits the torque of the air
impact tool, preventing over tightening or uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts.
For the correct wheel lug nut torque specification, refer to the appropriate Shop Manual. The chart below summarizes the factory recommended
wheel lug nut specification:
NOTES:
2. Always use the correct specification ACCUTORQ (TM) lug nut torque socket for the application (color of the tool indicates the torque
specification).
4. Do not use air impact tools on locking wheel lug nuts. They are to be hand-torqued only.

DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin outlines the basic procedures for refinishing a Hyundai bumper. It applies to both collision repair work and non-collision repair work.
Included are five paint manufacturer's plastic refinish procedures for their products on Hyundai OEM bumpers.
On vehicles where the paint has peeled from the bumper without impact damage or debris damage, warranty repairs may be made inside the normal
paint warranty period with normal authorization approval.
Basic bumper refinish procedures always involve cleaning and scuff sanding the plastic. This is because the plastics used for most bumpers have a
low "Surface Energy", and they may have residual amounts of contaminants and mold releases on the surface which further reduce the surface
energy.
Surface energy is related to surface tension. Low surface energy (tension) will make the paint bead up on the bumper like water on a freshly waxed
hood. It will not wet the complete surface but will bead up into spots. By thoroughly washing the surface, those contaminants are removed,
increasing the surface energy of the plastic. Scuff sanding with a fine abrasive, such as a 3M Scotchbrite pad or sandpaper, will give the paint a
rough surface to stick to.
The procedures attached are for the brands of paint listed. Please see your paint supplier to obtain the specific repair procedures for the paint to be
used. All paint procedures have the same general process:
Hyundai bumpers are manufactured using several different types of plastics. The type of plastic the bumpers are made of is molded into the side of
each bumper skin. The chart below summarizes the plastic types for recent Hyundai models. The plastic type may or may not affect the type of
adhesion promoter required.

Parts Information
The following contain recommended Hyundai bumper painting procedures from five paint manufacturers.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 44
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 794
Hyundai warrants the vehicle paint for the first 12 months from the date of the original retail delivey or date of first use, or 12,000 miles, whichever
occurs first (36 months or 36,000 miles for 1998 and newer vehicles), for defects in the materials or workmanship. This coverage does not include
damage due to airborne "fallout", acid rain, rail dust, salt, hail, or "Acts of God". Scratches, dents, impact damage, stone chipping, and similar types
of paint damage are also excluded.
Poor adhesion may be caused by damage to the bumper, or when the bumper is not properly prepared prior to painting. Hyundai will not warrant
the refinish of bumpers when the paint is peeling due to abrasion, impacts, stone chipping, or other physical damage. In addition, Hyundai will not
warrant chemical attack from underhood oils, fluid, coolant, or other underhood chemicals.
Peeling of areas, greater than 2 inches (50 mm) in diameter, where the paint has come off the bumper intact and there is no physical damage, may
be covered. In these areas:
1. Sand the paint on the surface of the bumper until a majority of the paint is removed. In hard to sand areas, remove at least 50% of the paint
over a given area.
2. High pressure wash the bumper to ensure that any remaining paint is well adhered.
5. Wash the bumper with soap and water and then towel dry with a clean cloth.
6. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for solvent cleaning, scuffing and painting.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR DIAGNOSIS
DESCRIPTION:
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located in the coolant passage of the cylinder head. It detects engine coolant temperature and sends signals
to the powertrain control module (PCM). The engine coolant temperature sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to changes in temperature. The
electric resistance of a thermistor decreases in response to a rise in temperature. Thus, when the temperature increases, the output voltage decreases
The PCM determines engine coolant temperature by the sensor output voltage and provides optimum fuel enrichment when the engine is cold.
This bulletin provides diagnosis and repair procedures for engine coolant temperature sensors.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 78
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 828
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES:
DIAGNOSTIC HINTS:
1. If the fast idle speed is not high enough or if the engine produces dark smoke during engine warm-up operation, a malfunctioning engine
coolant temperature sensor might be the cause.
2. If the thermostat opening state is abnormal and causes overcooling, the Diagnostic Code (DTC) for the engine coolant temperature sensor can
be set.
3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is on or the DTC is set under the following conditions:
a. When the engine coolant temperature is detected by the sensor as below -40°C or above 120°C.
b. If the engine coolant temperature does not increase at least 5°C, even though 130 seconds or more have elapsed after starting the
engine.

OXYGEN SENSOR DIAGNOSIS
Description
An oxygen sensor measures the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas. The oxygen sensor "element is coated with a catalyst metal that
produces a small voltage from 0 to 1.00 volt at temperatures in the range of 600°F (315°F) when exposed to oxygen. The "stoichiometric" air4uel
mixture for optimum fuel economy and emissions occurs at approximately 0.50 V. When the oxygen sensor output signal is above 0.50 V, the
air-fuel mixture is considered rich and when the signal is under 0.50 V it is considered lean.
Hyundai OBD II engine management systems (1996 and later models) include two heated oxygen sensors (heated oxygen sensors allow the vehicle
to go into closed loop in 20 to 30 seconds to reduce emissions):
- The "upstream" (front) oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust stream before the catalytic converter. The front sensor provides feedback to the
PCM that is used to identify if the air-fuel mixture supplied to the cylinders is rich or lean. Under normal operating conditions, the front oxygen
sensor signal will fluctuate from 0 to 1.00 V. The front sensor signal should fluctuate, crossing the 0.50 V center about seven times in 5 seconds
with the engine held at a steady 2500 rpm, when the vehicle is at operating temperature (the signals cannot be seen when viewing with the scan
tool because the scan tool's refresh rate is not fast enough; Hyundai Diagnostic System (HDS) can be used (see "HDS Testing Procedure" in this
TSB)).
- The "downstream" (rear) oxygen sensor is located after the catalytic converter in the exhaust stream. The rear sensor provides feedback to the
PCM to "fine tune" the air-fuel ratio and to monitor catalytic converter efficiency. The rear sensor signal will also fluctuate in the 0 to 1.00 V
range but the pattern is less predictable than for the front oxygen sensor because of its position in the exhaust system. Once the catalyst has
reached operating temperature, the rear sensor signal should change very little, if at all. If the rear sensor signal fluctuates at approximately the
frequency of the front sensor, it is an indication that the catalytic converter is not at operating temperature or is malfunctioning.
Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis
A properly operating oxygen sensor may have unusual signal characteristics that are the result of other components. A malfunction of any of the
following components may affect sensor signal characteristics:
^ Fuel injector(s)
^ Spark plugs
The PCM does not monitor either oxygen sensor signal when the engine management system is in open loop or when the purge solenoid is
operating.
If codes other than oxygen sensor codes are present, diagnose/repair these conditions BEFORE continuing with oxygen sensor diagnosis.*
Note:
* A malfunctioning front oxygen sensor may cause fuel trim codes to set.
The scan tool and HDS testing procedures are provided in the following section. The scan tool test is a quick procedure that provides basic sensor
information. The HDS testing procedure requires a more involved set up but provides more detailed information about the sensors performance.
Scan Tool Testing Procedure
Connect the scan tool and retrieve all diagnostic codes. Record the codes and freeze frame data (if available) for later reference.
C. Select "Engine
D. Select "Data"
G. Select "O2-B1-S1" and "O2-B1-52" (front and rear oxygen sensors) and ENG RPM if no tachometer is available.
2. While holding the engine speed at 2500 rpm in Neutral or Park (with no load) observe the front and rear oxygen sensors for approximately
one minute. The front oxygen sensor should fluctuate rapidly between 0.095 and 0.995 V. The voltage should read higher than 0.600 V
several times and lower than 0.350 V several times. The voltage should never exceed 1.00 V when using the scan tool.
If an Accent, Elantra or Tiburon front or rear oxygen sensor reads a fixed value of 0.425 V to 0.500 V, or a Sonata reads a fixed value of
0.010 - 0.080 V, check for an open/shorted oxygen sensor circuit or no output from the sensor.
The scan tool can also be used to check the sensors while the vehicle is being driven. An assistant is needed to perform this procedure. Use the scan
tool as set up in the previous test procedure.
1. While driving in first gear, accelerate so the engine speed is near 4000 rpm. Quickly release the accelerator and observe the readings from
both sensors. The sensors should read lean (in the range of 0.20 V down to 0 V) on the scan tool due to the fuel cut-off during deceleration.
2. While driving in first gear, accelerate hard and observe both sensors. The sensors should read rich (in the range of 0.60 V to 1.0 V) on the
scan tool.
Hyundai Diagnostic (HDS) Testing Procedure
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 82
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 832
The front and rear oxygen sensor signals can be monitored using HDS. The sensor signals can be observed using either "Custom Meters" or "Signal
Wave Forms" on the HDS machine. The "Signal Wave Forms" procedure should be used since the signal resolution is better with the engine at
2500 rpm, which is required for proper testing.
NOTE:
When HDS is used to monitor oxygen sensor signals on 1996 MY and later Accent, Elantra and Tiburon vehicles, a 0.70 V signal offset is
observed. This shifts the sensor readings 0.70 V higher so the new signal range is 0.70 V to 1.70 V. This shift is seen only when using the HDS
machine because the sensor signal is read before it is processed (filtered) by the PCM. The offset has no effect on the sensor signal appearance
or frequency. (See graph.)
1. Connect the scan tool and retrieve all diagnostic codes (see Scan Tool Testing Procedure section for details). If codes other than oxygen
sensor codes are present, diagnose/repair these conditions BEFORE continuing with oxygen sensor diagnosis.
3. Warm up vehicle to operating temperature (until the engine cooling fan begins to cycle, approximately 3 minutes).
5. Select the front and rear oxygen sensor signals and the throttle position sensor (TPS) signal (the TPS is used to establish an approximate
relationship between the throttle position and engine rpm).
8. Select "Run". Run the vehicle at 2500 rpm for several minutes, watch the signal. Record the signal after the engine has stabilized at 2500
rpm. The front oxygen sensor signal should fluctuate quickly (Sonata from 0 to 1.0 V, Accent Elantra & Tiburon from 0.70 to 1.70 V).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 84
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 834
9. To view recorded data select 'Options" and 'Data Play Back" and the screen will show the analog form of the recorded data. To use the
Digital Overlay Feature during playback select "CTRL", "Playback", "Digital". Select "Zoom" and "-64" to change the scale to get the 1.92
Sec/Div resolution.
10. The front sensor should cross the midpoint of signal travel at least 7 times in 5 seconds when the vehicle is at 2500 rpm. The rear oxygen
sensor should change slowly, if at all.
11. Record the sensors' reaction to a fuel cut by revving engine to 4000 rpm and let it stabilize. Quickly close the throttle and observe the front
and rear sensor signals (see plots 2 & 5).
Note:
A vacuum leak can also be intentionally created to check sensor response (see plots 3 & 4).
12. If an intermittent condition is reported, "wiggle check" all the connectors and wiring harnesses related to the oxygen sensor while the vehicle
and the HDS are running.

^ This sample plot shows a typical front and rear oxygen sensor at 2500 rpm for Accent, Elantra or Tiburon.
^ The front signal is a fluctuating signal that changes from 0.84 to 1.49 V, while the rear signal remains constant. (Note the 0.70 V signal offset).
^ HDS Plot 2 shows a typical Accent, Elantra or Tiburon with the throttle released from 4000 rpm. After a short delay both sensors react and
indicate the mixture is "lean". (Note the 0.70 V signal offset.)
^ HDS Plot 3 shows an Accent, Elantra or Tiburon at 2500 rpm when intentionally introducing a vacuum leak. The front oxygen sensor reacts
lean immediately while the rear reads lean afier a short delay. (Note the 0.70 V signal offset.)
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 86
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 836
^ Both sensors should always react lean when introducing a vacuum leak unless the vehicle has low mileage or a new catalytic converter.
Samples of Oxygen Sensor HDS Plots For Sonata
^ HDS Plot 4 shows a Sonata V6 at 2500 rpm when introducing a vacuum leak. The front sensor reacts lean immediately while the rear sensor
reads lean after a short delay.
^ Both sensors should always react lean when introducing a vacuum leak unless the vehicle has very low mileage or a new catalytic converter.
^ HDS Plot 5 shows a Sonata V6 at 4000 rpm drop to idle and the front sensor reads lean.
Note 1:
At 4000 rpm the front sensor signal may be rich until the vacuum leak is introduced.
Note 2:
Due to a different engine management system, the rear sensor may not react (lean) as it did with an Accent, Elantra or Tiburon with the same
test (see HDS Plot 2).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 87

Intermittent malfunctions may be responsible for setting diagnostic codes. A vehicle with an intermittent malfunction may appear to be normal
when the customer brings the vehicle into the dealership. A malfunction must occur in two consecutive trips to illuminate the check engine light,
decreasing the possibility of false codes being set. A test drive, circuit diagnosis and "wiggle check" test may help reveal the condition that is the
cause of the code.
Refer to the 1997 Engine Fault Code Diagnostic Manual, The Shop Manual and Electrical Trouble Shooting Manuals for the specific vehicle wiring
and circuit information.
Oxygen Sensor Installation Tips
^ Be sure to install the oxygen sensors by applying 30 to 45 lb.ft (40.7 to 61.0 Nm) of torque as specified in the Shop Manual for the specific
model.
^ For simplified installation and removal of oxygen sensors, Kent-Moore Tool # J-71 89 and a 22 mm crowsfoot wrench are recommended.
Circuit Diagnosis
^ Oxygen sensor heater resistance should be greater than 30 ohms at 750°F (400°C).
^ Open Circuit:
Disconnect the harness at the PCM and the sensor. Check for continuity in the suspect circuit (example: "A" to "B" from the "Basic O2 Sensor
Circuit" diagram).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 92

The PCM does not monitor either oxygen sensor signal when the engine management system is in open loop or when the purge solenoid is
operating.

If codes other than oxygen sensor codes are present, diagnose/repair these conditions BEFORE continuing with oxygen sensor diagnosis.
NOTE: A malfunctioning front oxygen sensor may cause fuel trim codes to set.
^ Several Diagnostic Trouble Codes use specific terminology to refer to sensor location. The illustration and key below explain the following
terms:
^ Engine BANK Bank 1 is closer to the dash panel, (also referred to as RH or right hand). Bank 2 is closer to the radiator, (also referred to as
LH or left hand).
^ UP Refers to Sensor 1 or "front sensor". It is located closer to the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
^ DOWN Refers to Sensor 2 or "rear sensor." It is located after the catalytic converter.
B1/S1 = Bank 1/Sensor 1 = Dash panel side, BEFORE the catalyst or "upstream"
^ The Hi-Scan Pro testing procedure is provided in the following section. The Hi-Scan Pro test is a quick procedure that provides basic sensor
information.
Connect the Hi-Scan Pro and retrieve all diagnostic codes. Record the codes and freeze frame data (if available) for later reference.
C. Select "Engine"
D. Select "Data"
G. Select "02-B1 S1" and "02-B1 S2" (front and rear oxygen sensors) and ENG RPM if no tachometer is available.
2. While holding the engine speed at 2500 rpm in Neutral or Park (with no load) observe the front and rear oxygen sensors for approximately
one minute. The front oxygen sensor should fluctuate rapidly between 0.095 and 0.995 V. The voltage should read higher than 0.600 V
several times and lower than 0.350 V several times. The voltage should never exceed 1.00 V when using the Hi-Scan Pro.
If an Accent, Elantra or Tiburon front or rear oxygen sensor reads a fixed value of 0.425 V to 0.500 V, or a rear oxygen sensor reads a fixed
value of 0.425 V to 0.500 V, or a Sonata reads a fixed value of 0.010 -0.080 V, check for an open/shorted oxygen sensor circuit or no output
from the sensor.
The Hi-Scan Pro can also be used to check the sensors while the vehicle is being driven. An assistant is needed to perform this procedure. Use
the Hi-Scan Pro as set up in the previous test procedure.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 99
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 849
1. While driving in first gear, accelerate so the engine speed is near 4000 rpm. Quickly release the accelerator and observe the readings from
both sensors. The sensors should read lean (in the range of 0.20 V down to 0 V) on the Hi-Scan Pro due to the fuel cutoff during
deceleration.
2. While driving in first gear, accelerate hard and observe both sensors. The sensors should read rich (in the range of 0.60 V to 1.0 V) on the
Hi-Scan Pro.
Oxygen sensors can be monitored using HDS. The sensors can be observed using either "Custom Meters" or "Signal Wave Forms" on the HDS
unit. It is preferable to use "signal Wave Forms" since the signal resolution is better with the engine operating at 2500 rpm, which is required for
proper testing.
The HDS testing procedure requires a more involved set up but provides more detailed information about the sensors' performance. Refer to
Technical Service Bulletin #97-36-004 for the testing procedure.
When the HDS is used to monitor oxygen sensor signals on 1996 and 1997 Accent & Elantra and 1997 Tiburon vehicles, a 0.70 V (0.71 V for
Tiburon) signal offset is observed. This shifts the sensor readings 0.70 V (0.71 V for Tiburon) higher so the new signal range is 0.70 V to 1.70 V
(0.71 V to 1.71 V for Tiburon). This shift is seen only when using the HDS machine because the sensor signal is read before it is processed
(filtered) by the engine control module (ECM). (This offset is not present when using the Scan Tool.) The offset has no affect on the sensor
signal appearance or frequency.
The oxygen sensor voltage offset (or bias voltage) observed when using the Hyundai Diagnostic System (HDS) was changed on 1998 Accent,
Elantra & Tiburon from the value of previous model years. The oxygen sensor voltage offset is 0.27 volts for 1998 Elantra and Tiburon, and 0.30
volts for 1998 Accent.
The list below contains specific codes for Hyundai oxygen sensors and their explanations as needed.
In addition to further information found in shop manuals, several Technical Service Bulletins have been released regarding oxygen sensors.
These can be found in the TSB bound manual or at the Hyundai Service website "Webtech Pro" section, (login required.)
Keeping up to date on Hyundai oxygen sensor technology will make oxygen sensor diagnosis easier for you.

FUEL TANK INSPECTION
2. Locate the canister behind the left rear wheel of the vehicle and disconnect the fuel vapor hose to fuel tank hose clamp.
3. Connect the Low Pressure EVAP Tester (KENT MOORE/SPX EVAP Tester P/N J-44680) to the disconnected fuel vapor hose.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 109
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 859
NOTES:
^ Select correct size hose barb fitting for the tool based on the inner diameter of the hose and install the proper size of hose barb onto the low
pressure tester using teflon tape (or equivalent) to insure a good seal.
^ Slide the hose clamp over the barb connector to prevent any leaks.
4. Using a Mityvac pump (Snap-On P/N YA4000 or equivalent), connect the pump to the one-way valve in the low pressure gauge and then
pump the system until the low pressure gauge reads 20 inches H20.
NOTES:
^ 1 inch H20 = 0.036 psi
20 inches H20 = 0.72 psi
30 inches H20 = 1.08 psi
^ The low pressure gauge is a very sensitive tool. Do not exceed 30 inches H20 (1.08 psi) when pressurizing the system (pressurize slowly!)
or the gauge will be damaged.
^ Slowly pressurize system up to 20 inches H20. Use the bleeder valve to bleed off pressure if over 20 inches H20 and allow 30 seconds for
the system to settle. The system will "settle" (drop 3-7 inches H20) over a short period of time to equalize pressure throughout the system.
Repressurize the system with the Mityvac pump up to a pressure of 20 inches H20 after "settling" has stabilized. Monitor the gauge for two
minutes.
A1. If the gauge remains steady or drops less than 2 inches H20 (0.072 psi) in two minutes, the fuel tank does not require replacement.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 110
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 860
B1. If the gauge drops more than 2 inches H20 (0.072 psi) in two minutes, a small leak is present.
6. Diagnose the fuel filler neck first for a small leak by performing all of the following:
A. Swapping fuel caps with a known good fuel cap and repeating Steps 4 and 5.
B. Remove the left rear wheel, pressurize the system to 20 inches H20 and squirt the filler neck pipe area with soapy water. If no leak is
found, continue to Step 7.
C. If a leak is found in the filler cap/neck area, repair and continue at Step 9.
7. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle and inspect the rollover valve and fuel line hoses for signs of leakage. If there are no signs of leakage,
continue at Step 8.
8. Replace the fuel tank with P/N 31150-34Q70, which includes the pads. Attach the pads in the locations shown with 3M(TM) Super 77 Spray
Adhesive (or equivalent).
9. Transfer the fuel shut-off valve, rollover valve, and heat shield to the new fuel tank.
10. After any necessary repairs have been made, reassemble the evaporative system and repeat Steps 4 and 5 to verify the repair.
11. Remove the air filter and hose that connects the air filter to the 2-way valve and discard them.
12. Connect the straight end (without the grommet) of the supplied hose (P/N 31377-34Q70) to the 2-way valve and secure with a hose clamp.
Insert the other end of the hose into the left rear side member (frame rail) as shown. Plug the grommet into the hole in the side member. Tie
the middle of the hose to the fuel vapor hoses with a tie strap (P/N 17993-19000 or equivalent).
NOTE:
The hose end inserted into the side member hole should face toward the rear of the vehicle.
When installing the new fuel tank, tighten the self-locking nuts until the end of each looped fuel tank mounting band touches the vehicle underbody
or the gap between the band and the underbody surface is .35-.43" (9-11 mm) as shown on the illustration.
NOTE:
Submit claims using the campaign claim screen.

CLICKING NOISE FROM RADIO SPEAKERS
CAUSED BY WIRELESS TELEPHONE
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:
Some vehicles may experience an intermittent, faint clicking sound from the radio speakers. The noise may be described as either a clicking or
popping sound from the dash area. This sound may be caused by radio frequency (RF) signals emitted by the vehicle occupant is wireless phone.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 120
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 870
Wireless telephones are hand-held phones with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile or PCS phones. Wireless telephones are two-way radios.
When a person speaks into a wireless telephone, it picks up the person's voice and converts the sound to radio frequency energy (or radio waves).
The radio waves travel through the air until they reach a receiver at a nearby base station. The base station then sends the call through the telephone
network until it reaches the person you are calling.
When a person receives a call on his/her wireless telephone, the message travels through the telephone network until it reaches a base station close
to his/her wireless phone. Then the base station sends out radio waves that are detected by a receiver in his/her telephone, where the signals are
changed back into the sound of a voice.
Radio frequency energy from wireless phones can be picked up by electronic devices in the car such as:
^ Radio Receiver
^ Radio speakers
Some wireless telephone providers require the phone to check into nearby base stations periodically for voice mail messages and reception signals.
In addition, it informs the cell site if the phone is in range.
The occupant may hear a clicking noise from the speakers when the following occurs:
Hyundai radios are designed to comply with Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rules, which state operation is subject to the following
condition:
^ This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
^ Reorient or relocate the wireless phone (increase the separation between the wireless phone and the radio receiver/speakers/external amplifiers)
^ This condition varies, depending on the wireless phone make and model, service provider and geographical area
^ Drive with the wireless phone off to see if the clicking occurs Technical Service Bulletin # 01-90-013 Date: 011101

1997-98 SONATA CANISTER AIR INTAKE
REPLACEMENT AND FUEL TANK INSPECTION
CAMPAIGN 044
DESCRIPTION:
Some 1997 and 1998 SONATA vehicles may experience excessive vacuum formation in the fuel tank caused by contamination of the canister air
filter. This may cause minor distortion of the fuel tank. After prolonged exposure to the excessive vacuum, a small crack may develop on the upper
fuel tank.
A new canister air intake system has been made available to prevent this contamination condition. Inspect the fuel tank for cracking by using the
following procedure and replace the canister air filter with the new canister air intake system.
VEHICLES AFFECTED

Service Procedure
FUEL TANK INSPECTION
2. Locate the canister behind the left rear wheel of the vehicle and disconnect the fuel vapor hose to fuel tank hose clamp.
3. Connect the Low Pressure EVAP Tester (KENT MOORE/SPX EVAP Tester P/N J-44680) to the disconnected fuel vapor hose.
NOTES:
^ Select correct size hose barb fitting for the tool based on the inner diameter of the hose and install the proper size of hose barb onto the low
pressure tester using teflon tape (or equivalent) to insure a good seal.
^ Slide the hose clamp over the barb connector to prevent any leaks.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 127

4. Using a Mityvac pump (Snap-On P/N YA4000 or equivalent), connect the pump to the one-way valve in the low pressure gauge and then
pump the system until the low pressure gauge reads 20 inches H20.
NOTES:
^ 1 inch H20 = 0.036 psi
20 inches H20 = 0.72 psi
30 inches H20 = 1.08 psi
^ The low pressure gauge is a very sensitive tool. Do not exceed 30 inches H20 (1.08 psi) when pressurizing the system (pressurize slowly!)
or the gauge will be damaged.
^ Slowly pressurize system up to 20 inches H20. Use the bleeder valve to bleed off pressure if over 20 inches H20 and allow 30 seconds for
the system to settle. The system will "settle" (drop 3-7 inches H20) over a short period of time to equalize pressure throughout the system.
Repressurize the system with the Mityvac pump up to a pressure of 20 inches H20 after "settling" has stabilized. Monitor the gauge for two
minutes.
A1. If the gauge remains steady or drops less than 2 inches H20 (0.072 psi) in two minutes, the fuel tank does not require replacement.
B1. If the gauge drops more than 2 inches H20 (0.072 psi) in two minutes, a small leak is present.
6. Diagnose the fuel filler neck first for a small leak by performing all of the following:
A. Swapping fuel caps with a known good fuel cap and repeating Steps 4 and 5.
B. Remove the left rear wheel, pressurize the system to 20 inches H20 and squirt the filler neck pipe area with soapy water. If no leak is
found, continue to Step 7.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 128
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 878
C. If a leak is found in the filler cap/neck area, repair and continue at Step 9.
7. Remove the fuel lank from the vehicle and inspect the rollover valve and fuel line hoses for signs of leakage. If there are no signs of leakage,
continue at Step 8.
8. Replace the fuel tank with P/N 31150-34Q70, which already has the pads attached to the upper fuel tank, after transfering the fuel shut-off
valve, rollover valve and heat shield to the new fuel tank.
9. After any necessary repairs have been made, reassemble the evaporative system and repeat Steps 4 and 5 to verify the repair.
10. Remove the air filter and hose that connects the air filter to the 2-way valve and discard them.
11. Connect the straight end (without the grommet) of the supplied hose (P/N 31377-34Q70) to the 2-way valve and secure with a hose clamp.
Insert the other end of the hose into the left rear side member (frame rail) as shown. Plug the grommet into the hole in the side member. Tie
the middle of the hose to the fuel vapor hoses with a tie strap.
NOTE:
The hose end inserted into the side member hole should face toward the rear of the vehicle.
NOTE:
When installing the new fuel tank, tighten the self-locking nuts until the end of each looped fuel tank mounting band touches the vehicle
underbody or the gap between the band and the underbody surface is .35-.43" (9-11 mm) as shown on the illustration.

BRAKE ROTOR SURFACE RUST NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION
DESCRIPTION:
Surface rust on the brake rotors may occur if a vehicle has been parked for several days in an area where corrosive conditions were present. If the
rotor surface does rust, the area under the brake pads usually remains rust free. The difference in friction between the rusted and unrusted areas may
induce slight brake pedal pulsation, vibration and/or noise for several stops, but will improve as the brake pad friction linings polish the rust off the
rotor.
If customers inquire about this condition, it may be explained as a normal occurrence. It does not affect brake performance.

FRONT BRAKE DISC MACHINING RECOMMENDATIONS
PURPOSE:
This service bulletin provides front brake disc machining recommendations and procedures to reduce the disc thickness variation that may cause
brake pedal pulsation.
DESCRIPTION:
Hyundai vehicles use two methods of attaching front brake discs. On Excel, Scoupe, Accent, Elantra and Tiburon models, the disc is attached on
the inside of the hub assembly making it less efficient to remove for machining (see illustration). On Sonata models, the disc is attached on the
outside of the hub assembly making it very easy to remove for machining (see illustration).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 131
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 881
The following Service Procedures contain front brake disc machining recommendations and procedures for both types of disc attachment methods.
Machining of brake discs using an "on-car lathe" is recommended for ALL Hyundai models. An "on-car lathe" provides efficiency and accuracy as
it machines the disc true to the hub's center of rotation. Use an "on-car lathe" made by PRO-CUT (models CROS 700 or PFM 900) or equivalent,
and always follow the lathe manufacturer's instructions for properly machining the brake disc.
SERVICE PROCEDURE 2:
^ For the "Inside of Hub" disc attachment design (used on Excel, Scoupe, Accent, Elantra & Tiburon models), follow the steps outlined in Service
Procedure 2A.
^ For the "Outside of Hub" disc attachment design (used on Sonata model only), follow the steps outlined in Service Procedure 2B.
Use the following steps to machine an "Inside of Hub" disc attachment design:
1. Confirm that the "off-car lathe" has a spindle arm holding fixture.
Note:
If your "off-car lathe" doesn't have the spindle arm fixture, use Service Procedure 3 for machining the disc.
2. Remove hub and knuckle assembly from the vehicle per procedure outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual.
Note:
Do not use a "slide hammer" to remove the hub assembly. This may damage the wheel bearings.
3. Mount the knuckle assembly with the disc on the "off-car lathe" (see illustration above).
4. Machine the disc on the "off-car lathe" following the lathe manufacturer's instructions. (See appropriate Shop Manual for service limit
specification.)
Use the following steps to machine an "Outside of Hub" disc attachment design.
1. Remove the disc from the vehicle per procedure outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual.
3. Machine the disc on the "off-car lathe" following the lathe manufacturer's instructions. (See appropriate Shop Manual for service limit
specification.)
Note:
Use Service Procedure 3 ONLY if Service Procedures 1 & 2A are not available.
1. Remove hub and knuckle assembly from the vehicle per procedure outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual.
2. Separate disc from knuckle and hub assembly per procedure outlined in the appropriate Shop Manual.
Note:
Do not use a "slide hammer" to remove the hub assembly from the knuckle assembly. This procedure may damage the wheel bearings.
3. Machine the disc on the off-car lathe following the lathe manufacturer's instructions.

HEAD AND TAIL LAMP CLEANING INFORMATION
Model
ALL
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides information about how to correctly clean Hyundai head and tail lamps. It is recommended that dealership personnel and
customers not use solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline or corrosive solvent when removing accumulated dust or stains on the lamps.
1. To clean head lamps and tail lamps, wash them with a mild auto body shampoo and water. Completely wet the lamp before wiping to prevent
the dirt from scratching the plastic.
2. If the lens surface becomes scratched, use a fine auto body polishing compound and a rotary buffer to polish out the scratches.
- Do not allow the lamp lens to get hot. They should not get "hot to the touch", just warm.
3. Do not use solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline or corrosive solvent as a cleaner when washing head or tail lamps.
- Solvents will cause cracks on head lamp and tail lamp lenses. The cracking may not occur immediately. If the solvent permeates the
surface of the plastic lens, it increases the likelihood that the lens will crack under thermal stress when the lights are turned on.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
NOTE: Lamps with a hazed appearance from the micro-cracking caused by the use of solvents are not eligible for warranty replacement.

SONATA WIND NOISE AT RH "A" PILLAR
DESCRIPTION:
Some 1995-98 Sonata vehicles may experience a wind noise in the area around the right "A" pillar. The noise may be heard primarily when driving
at high speeds (60+ mph) into a headwind. The noise is a loud resonant hum, similar to a "kazoo", and may be difficult to precisely locate. The
sound may originate from the general area around the right outside mirror. Pressing on or opening the passenger right front window glass may
dampen the sound.
The wind noise may be caused by the right hand drip rail moulding vibrating against the right front "A" pillar. The noise is transmitted through the
"A" pillar and transferred into the interior, making it difficult to identify and locate.
Diagnosis Procedure
When diagnosing a wind noise, it is important to get an accurate customer description. Detailed information will reduce diagnosis time and ensure
the condition is repaired. The following questions will help the process:
4. Was the vehicle traveling against a head wind? No wind? Cross wind? or Tail wind?
Make every effort to get the above information, because it will help identify the nature of the wind noise.
Try to duplicate the condition. Verify if the noise originates from the "A" pillar area. Press on or open the window glass to verify if the noise stops.
Service Procedure
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 136
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 886
An additional drip rail moulding clip may be added between the 2nd and 3rd clips, about 2/3 of the way up the "A" pillar, to eliminate the wind
noise.
1. Press up on the inside of the drip rail midway up the "A" pillar. Insert a Hyundai Trim Removal Tool (Special Service Tool part number
09800-21000) between the "A" pillar and the drip rail moulding.
Note:
The Hyundai Trim Removal Tool is strongly recommended for this repair. The use of other tools may result in paint damage.
2. Carefully slide the Trim Removal tool up to the third (3rd) clip. Position the tool just above the clip.
3. Place the tip of the tool on the outside of the sheet metal flange (drip rail). Press the tool down to disengage the clip.
4. Repeat procedure to disengage the two lower clips on the drip rail.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 137
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 887
5. Insert a new clip between the 2nd and 3rd clips, about 2/3 of the way up the "A" pillar.
6. Press drip rail moulding back into place. Verify that the drip rail moulding is flush and even with the "A"' pillar. If it is gapped, twist the drip
rail moulding down into the "A" pillar, while pressing it into place to fully seat the clips.

AIR BAG SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
DESCRIPTION:
This TSB provides general instructions for diagnosing the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), also known as the Air Bag System.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following acronyms and terms are commonly used for the air bag system:
^ PAB Passenger Air Bag (in the dash in front of the passenger seat)
^ DSAB Driver Side Air Bag (in the left front seat)
^ PSAB Passenger Side Air Bag (in the right front seat)
^ Shorting Bar "Shorting Bars" are spring-loaded contacts which purposely short the air
bag or pretensioner contacts together when the SRSCM connector is
removed to prevent inadvertent deployment.

Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 890
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS:
The following are general safety rules for working on a vehicle equipped with an Air Bag System. Be sure to review the specific safety instructions
in the correct shop manual for the vehicle being serviced.
1. Before performing service on any component in the Air Bag System, turn the ignition key off and disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Wait at least 30 seconds for the back-up power in the SRSCM to dissipate before resuming work.
2. Always install new parts when making replacements. (Never install air bag parts from another vehicle.)
4. If any air bag system component has been dropped, or if there are any cracks, dents, or other visible defects, replace that component with a
new one.
5. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before performing any welding on the vehicle.
6. Do not make any sharp blows or impacts on the vehicle, especially near the SRSCM or the satellite sensors, until after the battery negative
terminal has been disconnected for at least 30 seconds.
7. After completing the diagnosis and repair, always check for SRS codes generated during the repair of the system. Verify there are no new
codes indicating items requiring service. Clear all codes after repairs have been completed.
Procedure
The basics for diagnosing a Supplemental Restraint System:
1. Clearly identify the customer description of the condition to be serviced, when it happens, under what conditions, over what type of road
surface.
2. Using the Hi-Scan Pro, read the codes from the system. Check carefully to see if the code is an active or history code. History codes may be
more difficult to diagnose, since the condition that set the code may no longer be present. This will make the customer's description very
important in determining why the vehicle was brought in for repair.
^ Active Code - Indicates the condition that set the code is still present.
^ History Code -Indicates that the condition that set the code is intermittent or no longer present. (In some cases, if the condition has not rep
3. Identify that part of the system to which the code and the customer description apply. At this time you may have enough information to
determine the service procedure, but usually some diagnosis will be required.
CAUTION:
Before proceeding with the diagnosis, the negative battery cable must be removed from the terminal for a minimum of 30 seconds.
4. Access the SRSCM connector. Refer to the appropriate shop manual or electrical trouble shooting manual for the exact location. Determine
which pins in the connector are used for the circuit to be diagnosed. If the circuit contains an air bag or seat belt pretensioner, unplug it and
plug in the dummy load.
5. Dummy loads are used to test the wiring in each air bag or pretensioner circuit. The dummy load is used to simulate the electrical "load" or
resistance of the air bag or pretensioner. This allows the circuit resistance to be measured safely, without accidentally deploying the air bag/
pretensioner.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 141
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 891
^ Use the appropriate adapter and the dummy load. Unplug the air bag/ pretensioner and plug the dummy load into the air bag wire harness.
Adapters are shown.
^ Connect the adapter to the dummy load 2.0 Ohm connector for air bag circuits.
^ Connect the adapter to the dummy load 2.2 Ohm connector for pretensioner circuits.
6. Attach a good quality DVOM to the red and black leads on the diagnosis checker (SST # 0957A-38000). Use the pins on the diagnosis
checker to probe the pins in the SRSCM wire harness connector. Based on how the circuit operates, you may be looking for resistance or
voltage. If a shorting bar in the connector affects the circuit, use the plastic wire tie end on the SST to open the shorting bar. If measuring
through a dummy load, you should measure the dummy load resistance plus 0.0 to 0.2 Ohms for wire and connector resistance, and 0.2 Ohms
for the clock spring resistance.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 142
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 892
The checker is designed to work with the sharp probes found on most common multimeters. Just push the probe into the female pins in the white
plastic connector on the SST. Some multimeters have large handles on the probes, like the Fluke brand. In this case, use a pin removal tool to pop
the black wire terminal from the white connector, leaving just the red wire in place. This will allow the multimeter to connect to the SST.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 144

CIRCUIT RESISTANCE HIGH, LOW, OR OPEN (CODES B1345, B1346, B1347, B1351, B1352, B1353, B1360, B1361, B1362, B1366,
B1367, B1368, B1377, B1378, B1379, B1382, B1383, B1386)
These codes may indicate an open connector, but may also include detection of a deployed air bag or seat belt pretensioner, a connector with
unusually high resistance, or an open/short circuit in the wiring.
Active Codes:
^ Check all of the connections (including the clock spring on the DAB circuit),
^ Connect the dummy load, and access the SRSCM wire harness connector.
^ Check for 2 ohms (2.2 ohms on the SBPT circuits) across the terminals in the SRSCM connector. (If there are less than 0.3 ohms, check to be
sure that you opened the shorting bar. Refer to step 6 of this TSB for instructions).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 145
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 895
If the circuit tests OK, reconnect the SRSCM, leave the dummy load on the circuit, and reconnect the power to the system. Clear the existing code,
then remove the Hi Scan Pro, and cycle the key off, then on. If the code does not reset, switch the dummy load with the air bag/SBPT it replaced
(disconnect the battery while making the switch). If the same code returns, the air bag/SBPT is the cause of the code. If the code does not return
with either the dummy load or the air bag/SBPT, there is an intermittent condition.
Historical codes:
^ Check for a partially connected connector; a connector pulled very tight, or a connector that may be pulled while the vehicle is driven.
SEAT BELT SWITCH OPEN/SHORT TO BATTERY/SHORT TO GROUND (CODES B1511, B1512, B1513, B1514)
These codes may indicate an open circuit, or a short to power/ground. Test from the SRSCM connector using the same procedure as the circuit
resistance codes above, but no dummy load is required.
^ Resistance between the two wires in each circuit should range between 1000 ohms and 4000 ohms (seat belt unlatched and latched).
^ Resistance to ground should be infinite. If there is a reading to ground, reconnect the battery and measure the circuit voltage (the SRSCM is still
unplugged). Zero volts means the circuit is shorted to ground.
12V means the circuit is shorted to a power circuit.
CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR SHORT TO GROUND (CODES B1348, B1349, B1354, B1355, B1363, B1364, B1369, B1370, B1380,
B1381, B1384, B1385, B1401, B1402, B1404, B1405)
These codes may result from to a short to ground or 12 Volts in the circuit. The satellite sensor circuits will indicate code B1405 if they are
unplugged, or if the connector is pulled too tightly.
Active Codes:
^ The protective yellow wire covering may make it easier to see how the short occurred if it results from wiring damage.
^ With the power off, the dummy load connected, and the SRSCM unplugged, you may be able to use a "Short Finder" to locate the short if it
cannot be found visually.
Historical Codes:
^ Check for a connector pulled very tight. The damage has to make intermittent contact with ground or a 12 Volt circuit.
PPD SHORT TO BATTERY, SHORT TO GROUND, OPEN CIRCUIT, SHORT CIRCUIT (PPD RESISTANCE READ DIRECTLY BY SRSCM
) (CODES B1461, B1462, B1463, B1464)
These codes may indicate an open circuit, or a short to power/ground. Test from the SRSCM connector (no dummy load is required).
^ Use an Ohm meter to test the resistance of the PPD sensor from the SRSCM connector. The resistance should vary from very high resistance
with no weight on the passenger seat to lower resistance with weight (greater than 50k Ohms with no weight to less than 50k Ohms with 33
lbs). There is a diode inside the PPD sensor, which will affect the values measured, but the overall measurements will be similar. If there is a
reading with the DVOM connected one way but not when connected the other way, the PPD sensor has an open circuit.
^ Resistance to ground should be infinite. If there is a reading to ground, reconnect the battery and measure the circuit voltage (the SRSCM is still
unplugged). Zero volts means the circuit is shorted to ground. 12V means the circuit is shorted to a power circuit.
SATELLITE LEFT/RIGHT OPERATION, PPD OPERATION, SATELLITE COMMUNICATION ERROR, PPD COMMUNICATION ERROR
(CODES B1400, B1403, B1406, B1407, B1408, B1409, B1410).
These codes indicate an error with the signal coming from the sensor to the SRSCM. The PPD circuit has power and ground wires as well as the
signal wire. The Satellite sensors have a pair of signal wires per sensor.
NOTE:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 146
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 896
Code B1409 indicates a different side (Left/Right) on different models, but the diagnostic steps are the same.
Active Codes:
^ Use a DVOM to measure the continuity of each wire from the sensor to the SRSCM connector.
Historical Codes:
^ Check for a connector pulled very tight. For codes B1406 or B1407:
^ Use a test light to verify the power and ground wires to the PPD interface. With the SRSCM connector unplugged, reconnect the battery and
turn on the ignition key. At the PPD connector, connect the test light between the ground wire and the power wire (pin 4 to pin 1). The test light
should illuminate brightly.
^ Use an Ohm meter to test the resistance of the PPD sensor. With the sensor connector unplugged from the interface, measure the resistance
between the two leads as pressure is applied to the center of the seat cushion. The resistance should vary from very high resistance with no
weight to lower resistance with weight (greater than 50k Ohms with no weight to less than 50k Ohms with 33 lbs). There is a diode inside the
PPD sensor, which will affect the values measured, but the overall measurements will be similar. If you get a reading with the DVOM
connected one way but not when connected the other way, the PPD sensor has an open circuit.
^ If these tests are OK, and the code is an active code, replace the PPD interface. If the code was historical, check for a partially connected
connector or a connector pulled very tight.
These codes indicate that the battery voltage was too high or too low while the system was operational. This code will not set a historical code, the
light will turn off after the input voltage returns to the 10 to 16.5 volt range. It is important to note that the ground wire is an integral component in
the system. This battery voltage may measure low at the module if the ground wire is not fully connected to ground.
1. Test the voltage across the battery, verify that the battery voltage is about 13 to 15 volts when the engine is idling.
^ If it is not, diagnose the battery and the charging system, as per the shop manual.
2. Access the SRSCM connector (disconnect the battery and wait 30 seconds before removing the connector).
3. Test the voltage between the power supply pin and the ground pin of the SRSCM connector with a voltmeter and a test light (to load the
circuit). It should be within the 10 to 16.5 volt range while the test light is illuminated.
CAUTION:
Do not probe the SRSCM connector directly. Use the diagnosis checker harness (SST # 0957A38000) as shown.
^ If it is not within the 10 to 16.5 volt range, test the voltage between the power supply pin of the SRSCM connector to a good ground. If
that voltage is correct, but the voltage between the power supply pin and the ground pin of the SRSCM connector was not, then diagnose
the ground wire.
If the voltages at the connector check out OK, then reconnect the SRSCM (disconnect the battery and wait 30 seconds before connecting the
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 147

connector), and start the car. If the same code is repeated, then replace the SRSCM.
CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL FAULT, SATELLITE SENSOR WRONG ID, ECU MISMATCHING (CODES B1414, B1415, B1620,
B1661)
CRASH RECORDED, CRASH RECORDED LH/RH SIDE AIR BAG (CODES B1650, B1651, B1652, B1660, B1663)
These codes indicate that the SRSCM deployed the air bags indicated. These codes cannot be reset, as the module can only deploy an airbag one
time. The module will need to be replaced. The seat belts worn during the collision, the wire harness, and the deployed air bags must also be
replaced. (refer to TSB# 00-90-004)
These codes indicate that a seat belt pretensioner was deployed. These codes will be accompanied by codes B1361 or B1367. Replace the
appropriate seat belt and buckle, then clear the codes. This repair is not covered by the vehicle warranty.
The seat belt pretensioners have deployed 6 times, the maximum allowable for one SRSCM. Replace the SRSCM at the same time as the seat belt
pretensioner(s). This repair is not covered by the vehicle warranty
WARNING LAMP OPEN, SHORT TO GROUND, SHORT TO BATTERY (CODES B2500, B2503, B2504)
The SRSCM has detected a warning lamp circuit condition requiring diagnosis. It detects the voltage from the warning lamp circuit. There should
be 12V when the warning lamp is off, and OV when the warning lamp is on. This code can also be set if the vehicle battery is discharged
sufficiently so that the engine cannot start, and then it is subsequently jump started. This requires asking the customer about the events leading to
the warning lamp illumination.
1. Check that the fuse or the warning lamp circuit has power. It uses a different fuse than the SRSCM. Refer to the shop manual or electrical
trouble shooting manual for the correct fuse. Verify that it has power.
^ Access the SRSCM connector (disconnect the battery and wait 30 seconds. Remove the connector from the SRSCM.
^ Use the diagnosis checker SST to test for power on the warning lamp input.
^ Use the wire tie end on the SST to open the shorting bar between pin 7 (warning lamp input) and pin 6 (ground). Then measure the
voltage (with a DVOM and the Diagnosis Checker) across pins 6 & 7. There should be 12 volts. If not, verify that pin 6 has good
continuity to ground, verify the warning lamp is good, and look for an open connector or open circuit in the wire between the fuse and the
lamp, and between the lamp and the SRSCM.
^ Verify that you can turn the warning lamp on and off by removing the wire tie from the shorting bar (on when shorted), and re-inserting it
into the shorting bar (off when shorting bar is opened). If the warning lamp stays on, then look for a short to ground between the SRSCM
and the warning lamp. You may need to remove the bulb from the instrument cluster depending on the type of short finding equipment
used. A visual inspection of the harness will probably reveal the short location.
3. If the tests show the proper inputs, then reconnect the SRSCM (disconnect the battery and wait 30 seconds before reconnecting the
connector), clear the code, disconnect the HDS Scanner/Hi Scan, cycle the key off for 30 seconds, turn the key on, and check to see if the
code is reset. If it is, then replace the SRSCM.

SECURITY SYSTEM UPDATES (CLIFFORD)
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin contains updated information for Hyundai's security system. Change In The Valet Switch Location:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 154
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 904
Beginning in September, 1997, the security valet switches are installed in the following locations:
Accents:
The valet switch is located near the instrument panel dimmer switch.
Sonatas:
The valet switch is still located on the surface of the driver's side kick panel plastic trim but closer to the corner, near the latch side of the fuse box
door.
The LEDs are installed from the top (previous to this change, the LEDs were mounted from the bottom).
Accent:
The LED light is located on the left side of the instrument panel near the instrument cluster.
^ The basic security system DOES NOT include the Keyless Entry feature. In order to obtain this feature, it must be purchased separately.
Note:
The only exception to this is Sonata models that are equipped with the factory power door locks; in which case, the Keyless Entry feature is
included with the basic security system.
^ The Keyless Entry feature operates the driver's door lock ONLY, unless the vehicle is equipped with factory power door locks; in which case,
the feature will operate all door locks simultaneously.
Beginning in September, 1997, the Hyundai security system door window sticker has been changed. The new sticker:
If the battery in the security system remote control has been discharged the LED should not light up when either of the two buttons are pushed.
Replace the battery by removing one screw and separating the remote housing.

Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 909
This bulletin provides programming procedures for all security Systems available on Hyundai vehicles. There are three different types of security
systems available: Clifford Supplied System1 Directed Electronics, Inc. (DEI) Supplied System and Factory Installed System. The chart shows
which system is available for each model year Hyundai.
NOTES:
^ The three security system kits/parts are not interchangeable.
^ Refer to TSB 01-90-003 for Hyundai Security System Part Numbers.
^ Refer to pages 12-14 for security system transmitter, Valet Switch and LED illustrations.
The table shown provides information to program the Clifford System's various features. Although some of the headings are self explanatory, a
brief description of each will assist in the use of the table:
1. Select the feature you wish from the table shown. Note the number of cycles (or flicks).
3. Immediately flick the valet switch up and down the number of times noted for the feature you wish to program (to help you count, you will
hear a single chirp confirmation each time you flick except for the 2000 Sonata Keyless Clifford System).
4. Turn the ignition off. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for any other feature you wish to program.
^ # Of Cycles: The number of "Valet Switch Cycles" (on/off) required to accomplish programming change. Each complete cycle will be followed
by a siren "chirp" or a horn "beep".
^ Secondary Action: When required, this is done after last "Valet Switch Cycle".
CLIFFORD SYSTEM:
3. LED.
The keyless entry receiver CPU will learn up to four different remotes. If there are more than four remotes introduced to the system, the transmitters
added first will be deleted. (First remote in, first remote out).
NOTE:
The LED (P/N 00265-11001) and the Valet Switch (P/N 00265-11000) are not included in the DEI keyless kit. The two parts are required in
order to program and/or add new remotes. The LED and Valet Switch are included with the security upgrade kit and as part of the replacement
transmitters.
Make sure to keep an LED and Valet Switch available for use to assist customers to program the keyless kits.
1. Plug the Valet Switch into blue 2-pin port on side of keyless entry receiver (CPU).
2. Plug LED into white 2-pin port on side of keyless entry receiver (CPU).
Program Features:
NOTE:
This procedure is applicable for security upgrade only.
Locate the Valet Switch underneath the driver side dashboard area. Press and release the Valet Switch the number of times (cycles)
corresponding to the feature corresponding to the feature you wish to program. For example, to access the Siren Duration feature, press and
release the Valet Switch three times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the number of times corresponding
to the feature you have accessed.
NOTE:
The default settings are indicated with asterisks. A description of the system features are outlined.
While holding the Valet Switch, you can toggle the feature on and off using your factory remote transmitter. Pressing the button that locks
the doors (button I) will select the one-chirp or default setting. Pressing the button that unlocks the doors (button II) will select the two-chirp
setting.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 163
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 913
6. Test the system to make sure the feature that you have programmed or selected functions correctly.
NOTE:
Once a feature is programmed, other features can be programmed
^ Press and release the Valet Switch the number of times necessary to advance from the feature you just programmed to the next one you wish to
program. Then press the Valet Switch once more and hold it.
^ For example, if you just programmed the second feature and you would like to program the seventh feature in the menu, you would:
*1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive
arming, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert the consumer of passive arming, the siren will
chirp and the parking lights will flash 30 seconds after the door is closed.
*2 AUDIBLE ARM/DISARM CONFIRMATION ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the
system. In the ON setting (default), the siren will provide audible confirmation when arming and disarming the system. If programmed to the
OFF position, no siren chirps will be heard when arming or disarming.
*3 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: In the default setting, the full triggered sequence will continue for 30 seconds when triggered. This
can be programmed to 60 seconds in the system features learn routine.
*4 DOOR TRIGGER INSTANT/DELAYED: In the instant (default) setting, if a door is opened while the security system is armed, the system
will trigger immediately. In the delayed setting, there is a 15-second delay before the doors will trigger the system. This gives the user 15
seconds to disarm the system after a door is opened without having disarmed with the factory transmitter.
*5 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: With the door trigger error chirp programmed off, the system will not report an invalid zone on
arming when the door trigger wire is active. This eliminates the extra chirps that occur when interfacing with vehicles that have exceptionally
long dome light delay circuits.
*6 NO FUNCTION
*7 NO FUNCTION
*8 NO FUNCTION
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 164
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 914
*9 VALET PULSE COUNT 1 - 5 PULSES: The system can be programmed to count the number presses of the Valet Switch before disarming
the security system. The factory default setting is 1 pulse. The unit can be programmed for 2 - 5 pulses using the unlock button (button II) to
select the setting. (See the Valet Mode section below).
* VALET MODE:
In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, etc.) will work normally. This is very
useful when washing or servicing the vehicle.
1. Turn ignition to the "on" position. Then turn to the "oft" position.
2. Press and release the Valet Switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will light steady if you entered Valet Mode.
To exit Valet Mode, repeat the steps above. The LED will turn off when exiting Valet Mode.
DEI SYSTEM:
1. Remote transmitter (P/N 00265-11002) for 2001 Sonata and 2001 Tiburon.
NOTE:
The factory security system module is incorporated into the vehicle's Electronic Time and Alarm Control System (ETACS). (See photos
shown). The factory system does not contain an LED status indicator, impact shock sensor, valet switch, remote panic feature or audible arm
and disarm confirmation.
A programming Special Service Tool can be used to add new or replacement remotes to the 2001 MY Elantra, Santa Fe and XG300 security
Systems. The tool (P/N J-45346) can be purchased through SPX/Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233. Each dealership was supplied one tool in January,
2001. A maximum of two remotes may be used for each system.
^ The J-45346 tool (Transmitter Programmer Kit) is required to reprogram the ETACS control module to recognize remotes. To reprogram
the ETACS control module, the following three items are required.
1. Verify that the power bar in the interior fuse box is in the "On" position.
3. Connect the Code Saver Main Harness (J-45346-TXR0) and the Code Saver (J-45346-TXR1) together securely.
NOTE:
For the 2001 XG300, connect the Code Saver Main Harness and the Jumper (J-45346-TXR2) together securely.
4. Connect Code Saver Main Harness to the white 10-pin multipurpose connector located under the dash.
NOTE:
Disregard this step when programming the 2001 XG300.
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on either remote and release after the LED pulses on and off ONE cycle.
7. Repeat previous step with remaining remote. Move Code Saver switch back to "Ready" position.
NOTE:
Disregard this step when programming the 2001 XG300.
9. Test remotes.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
To enter programming mode, turn the ignition on and immediately begin flicking the valet switch the appropriate number of times. You must begin
the programming steps within 30 seconds of turning the ignition on or the control module will ignore the valet switch until you turn the ignition off
and then back on again.
NOTE:
The # of flicks required is an up/down or a down/up motion (counts as 1 cycle) depending on how the switch was originally installed. You
MUST start in the valet OFF position (LED off).
EXAMPLE:
To add a new remote control to channel 1 (arm/disarm), turn the ignition on and then immediately begin flicking the switch up/down, up/down,
up/down, etc. 13 times. Within 10 seconds, press button 1 on the new remote control. The system will "chirp" once (if equipped with a siren/horn)
to acknowledge that it has stored the new remote control code into memory.
To enter programming mode, open a vehicle door and then turn the ignition on and then off.
1. Press and release the valet switch the number of times corresponding to the feature you wish to program. For example, to access feature 3
(siren duration), press and release the valet switch three times.
2. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the number of times corresponding to the feature you have accessed.

OBD-II READINESS TEST DRIVE CYCLE FOR 1996-1998 SONATA
DESCRIPTION:
This TSB describes Drive Cycles which may assist the vehicles OBD-II system to complete the necessary emissions systems tests and set the
OBD-II Readiness Monitors to display READY (or COMPLETED -- described simply as READY in this TSB). This TSB specifically covers the
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 185
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 935
1996-1998 Sonata.
The drive cycles described below are specifically designed to set the following items:
^ CATALYST
^ EVAP. PURGE
^ 02 SENSOR
^ 02 SENSOR HEATER
^ EGR
READINESS MONITOR:
The readiness monitors indicate if all the necessary emissions systems tests have been completed by the ECM.
It ensures that vehicles have had sufficient time to conduct all necessary emissions related diagnostics:
^ after a repair which resulted in the power to the ECM being interrupted
Information
Depending on the model year of the vehicle, follow the correct Drive Cycle pattern.
IMPORTANT
In order to set the Readiness Monitors to READY, the vehicle must successfully complete the appropriate Drive Cycle TWO TIMES.
2. The ignition key must be turned to the OFF position and stay off for at least 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT
The two Drive Cycles MUST be completed on two CONSECUTIVE drives.
CONSECUTIVE means that the two successful OBD-II Readiness Drive Cycles cannot be interrupted by any other kind of driving between
them.
WARNING:
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS ON THE VEHICLE:
The vehicle will not set the Readiness Monitors even if the Drive Cycles are performed correctly, if the vehicle has certain pre-existing
conditions.
Such as:
^ Stuck Open Thermostat: If the thermostat is stuck open, the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) reading may drop below 176 degrees F.
If the ECT reading drops below 176 F (especially during the steady state highway driving where the airflow across the radiator will cool
the coolant quickly), the Drive Cycle will NOT be effective. In order for the Drive Cycle to "count", the ECT reading must be above 176
F.
^ Radiator Fans Stuck ON: If the radiator fans are stuck ON, the ECT reading may drop below 176 F during the Drive Cycle. As with the
stuck open thermostat, this condition will negate the Drive Cycle.
ROAD CONDITIONS:
The BEST type of road for performing the Drive Cycle is one that is as Level (Flat) as possible.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 186
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 936
If the Drive Cycle is performed in an area with hilly terrain it will be more difficult to successfully perform the Drive Cycle. In this case, it may
require that the Drive Cycle be performed more than two times to ensure success.
The drive cycle described below covers the conditions required to run ALL five diagnostic tests.
The chart shows the required driving necessary to complete a Drive Cycle.
IMPORTANT
The Drive Cycle consists of five parts; one MODE 1 and four MODE 2 parts. The engine must not be turned off at any time during the Drive
Cycle. Do NOT turn the engine off between completing different Modes. Only after ALL parts of the Drive Cycle is completed, should the
ignition key be turned off.
MODE 1:
The following information describes, step-by-step, the procedure for completing MODE 1 driving.
^ Check to make sure that there are no DTCs stored in the ECM (using the Hi-Scan Pro) and that the Check Engine Light is OFF. If there is a
DTC, repair the vehicle first.
^ Check the Readiness Status. The items indicating NOT READY should be CATALYST, EVAP. PURGE, 02 SENSOR, 02 SENSOR HEATER
and EGR.
^ If the MISFIRE, FUEL SYSTEM or COMPONENT monitors are not ready, then repair any conditions related to these items first.
^ Connect the Hi-Scan Pro and go to the Current Data Menu. The three items to look at during the drive cycle are the Engine RPM, Vehicle
Speed and Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT). Using the fix feature of the Hi-Scan, fix these three values in the Current Data Menu.
^ IMPORTANT:
Two people should conduct the drive cycle, one person to drive and the other person to monitor the Hi-Scan Pro readings and keep track of
the driving time.
^ Drive the vehicle to a light traffic road where the required Steady State Driving condition can be duplicated.
STEP 3: (STEADY STATE DRIVING - THIS IS THE MAIN PART OF MODE 1. THE STEADY STATE DRIVING SHOULD BE DONE ON
A LEVEL ROAD (AVOID HILLS WHENEVER POSSIBLE).
^ Drive the vehicle at a steady state where the engine speed is between 1,700 and 2,500 RPM in high gear (5th speed in a manual transmission
equipped vehicle and D position in an automatic). The vehicle speed should be between 50 and 65 MPH.
IMPORTANT:
While driving in the Steady State Mode, carefully monitor the ECT reading. It should always stay above 176 F. If it drops below 176 F,
diagnose the thermostat & ECT & repair. Then restart the Drive Cycle.
VEHICLE SPEED BELOW 50 MPh: The vehicle must be driven within the vehicle speed range CONTINUOUSLY. DO NOT ALLOW THE
VEHICLE SPEED TO DROP BELOW 50 MPH, IF SAFELY POSSIBLE. If the vehicle speed falls below 50 MPH, the time counter for the
steady state driving must be restarted.
EXAMPLE: After 5 minutes and 30 seconds of CONTINUOUS driving between 50 and 65 MPH, the vehicle speed falls below 50 MPH due to
slow traffic. Because the vehicle speed fell below 50 MPH, the steady state driving must be started over. Thus, the 5 minutes and 30 seconds of
driving previously accomplished DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE 10 MINUET REQUIREMENT. A full 10 minutes of CONTINUOUS
driving within the specified vehicle speeds must be achieved to successfully complete the steady state driving part of Mode 1.
VEHICLE SPEED ABOVE 65 MPH: If the vehicle speed goes ABOVE 65 MPH during the Steady State Driving part of Mode 1 the
continuous time counting must be stopped, but the Steady State Driving does NOT have to be restarted. When the vehicle speed falls below 65
MPH, simply restart the time counter from where it was stopped when the vehicle exceeded 65 MPH.
EXAMPLE: After 5 minutes of CONTINUOUS driving between 50 and 65 MPH, the vehicle speed goes above 65 MPH due to the flow of
traffic. Because the vehicle speed is above 65 MPH, the time counter stops at 5 minutes. After a short time, its possible to bring the vehicle
speed below 65 MPH and above 50 MPH. Now, the time counter can be restarted at 5 minutes and continue. Thus, it is not necessary to start the
time counting over from zero in this case.
^ After accumulating at least 10 minutes of Steady State Driving, find a safe place to COAST down to a low speed (below 20 MPH) from the
steady state driving speed (50 - 65 MPH). Leave the transmission in D -- ATM or 5th gear -- MTM.
^ When at the location where the vehicle can be coasted down to a speed below 20 MPH, release the throttle and allow the vehicle to COAST
down. DO NOT APPLY the BRAKE, if safely possible, until the vehicle speed has reached 20 MPH or less. Once the vehicle reaches 20 MPH
or less, the brakes may then be applied.
COASTING: Coasting is defined as slowing down without depressing the throttle or the brake.
^ If an attempt to coast to 20 MPH or less was not successful due to traffic (that is, the brake had to be applied prematurely), then bring the
vehicle speed back up to above 50 MPH and try again when safely possible to do so.
^ After successfully coasting to below 20 MPH, bring the vehicle to a stop at a location where the vehicle may idle.
^ After coming to a stop, allow the vehicle to idle for at least 50 seconds (the transmission should be placed in Neutral and the A/C should still be
OFF).
MODE 2:
The following information describes, step-by-step, the procedure for completing MODE 2 driving.
^ After completing MODE 1, find a light traffic road where the vehicle may be driven at different street speeds of approximately 50 to 15 MPH
for about two minutes.
^ The transmission should be in D for ATM equipped vehicles and 5th gear for manual transmission equipped vehicles.
^ The engine speed should be between 1,700 and 2,500 RPMs during this phase.
^ Slow the vehicle down to a steady speed of 35 to 45 MPH. The brakes may be applied in the process of slowing down.
^ The engine speed should be between 1,300 and 1,800 RPMs during this phase.
^ Slow the vehicle down to a steady speed of 15 to 25 MPH. The brakes may be applied in the process of slowing down.
^ The engine speed should be between 1,000 and 1,200 RPMs during this phase.
^ After 10 seconds, find a safe location where the vehicle can come to a stop and idle.
^ Put the transmission into Neutral and make sure that the A/C is off.
^ Allow the vehicle to idle at least 5 seconds but not more than 35 seconds.
^ If this was the first, second or third time of driving MODE 2 successfully, then repeat MODE 2 (go back to STEP 1 of MODE 2). If not, go to
the next step.
^ If this was the end of the fourth time of driving MODE 2 successfully, then the Drive Cycle is complete.
^ Turn the key to the OFF position. Wait 30 seconds before restarting the engine (or turning the key to the ON position).
^ IF ONLY ONE DRIVE CYCLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED, CONDUCT ONE MORE DRIVE CYCLE. (Two consecutive, successfully
completed Drive Cycles are required to set the Readiness Codes.)
^ After the conclusion of the second drive cycle, turn the engine off (Key in the OFF position) and wait 30 seconds before turning the key to the
ON position. Using the Hi-Scan Pro, check to see if the Readiness Monitors for CATALYST, EVAP. PURGE, 02 SENSOR, 02 SENSOR
HEATER and EGR indicate READY.
^ If not, then check to see if there are any DTC codes or if the Check Engine Light is ON. If yes, then repair the vehicle. After repair is
completed, conduct the Drive Cycle two times.
^ If after the conclusion of the second Drive Cycle, the Readiness Monitors for CATALYST, EVAP. PURGE, 02 SENSOR, 02 SENSOR
HEATER and EGR still indicate NOT READY, then conduct the Drive Cycle one more time and check the Readiness Codes again (the
previous attempts at the Drive Cycle may not have been successfully completed).
^ In order to set the Evap. Purge and EGR monitors to READY, drive MODE 1 (as described previously in this TSB).
NOTE
It is NOT necessary to drive MODE 2 in order to run the Evap. Purge and EGR monitors.
^ After the first successful duplication of MODE 1, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and wait 30 seconds before driving MODE 1 a
second time (second Drive Cycle).
^ After successfully completing two Drive Cycles, the Readiness Monitor should indicate READY.
^ After the conclusion of the second Drive Cycle, turn the engine off (Key in the OFF position) and wait 30 seconds before turning the key to the
ON position.
Using the Hi-Scan Pro, check to see if the Readiness Monitors for EVAP. PURGE and EGR indicate READY.
^ If not, then check to see if there are any DTC codes or if the Check Engine Light is ON. If yes, then repair the vehicle. After repair is
completed, conduct the Drive Cycle two times.
^ If after the conclusion of the second Drive Cycle, the Readiness Monitors for EVAP. PURGE and EGR still indicate NOT READY, then
conduct the Drive Cycle again and check the Readiness Codes again (the previous attempts at the Drive Cycle may not have been successfully
completed).
^ In order to set the Catalyst, 02 Sensor and 02 Sensor Heater monitors to READY, drive MODE 2 (as described previously in this TSB) at least
four (4) times.
NOTE
It is NOT necessary to drive MODE 1 in order to run the Catalyst, 02 Sensor and 02 Sensor Heater monitors.
^ After the first successful duplication of MODE 2 at least four times turn the ignition key to the OFF position and wait 30 seconds before driving
MODE 2 at least four times again (second Drive Cycle).
^ After successfully completing two Drive Cycles, the Readiness Monitor should indicate READY.
^ After the conclusion of the second Drive Cycle, turn the engine off (Key in the OFF position) and wait 30 seconds before turning the key to the
ON position. Using the Hi-Scan Pro, check to see if the Readiness Monitors for Catalyst, 02 Sensor and 02 Sensor Heater indicate READY.
^ If not, then check to see if there are any DTC codes or if the Check Engine Light is ON. If yes, then repair the vehicle. After repair is
completed, conduct the Drive Cycle two times.
^ If after the conclusion of the second Drive Cycle, the Readiness Monitors for Catalyst, 02 Sensor and 02 Sensor Heater still indicate NOT
READY, then conduct the Drive Cycle again and check the Readiness Codes again (the previous attempts at the Drive Cycle may not have been
successfully completed).

ENHANCED EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR FOR
P0442, P0455 AND P1443 LEAK CODES USING
A LOW PRESSURE GAUGE
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 191
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 941
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides information describing how to use a Low Pressure Gauge for diagnosis of leak codes on enhanced evaporative emission
systems. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0442, P0455, and P1443 can be diagnosed using a low pressure gauge. In some instances DTGs
P0446, P0440 and P0441 can also be diagnosed using a low pressure gauge.
THE BASICS:
By pressurizing a sealed evaporative emission system, the pressure leakdown rate can easily be measured using a low pressure gauge. The system
should be slowly pressurized to a very low pressure (in this case 20" H20). A properly operating system (one that does not leak) will not lose any
pressure; in fact, with high fuel temperature and high ambient temperature, pressure may increase due to fuel vaporization. If the gauge drops more
than 2 inches of water (0.072 psi) in 1 minute, a leak is present. (If the gauge pressure drops, a leak is present, and the technician must find the
location of the leak and repair it.]
Note 1:
1" H20 = 0.036 psi; 30" H20 = 1.08 psi
Note 2:
The low pressure gauge is a very sensitive tool. DO NOT exceed 30" H20 (1 psi) when pressurizing the system (pressurize SLOWLY!) or the
gauge will be damaged.
1. Refer to the appropriate schematic listed below and determine the correct hose to to use for the test. Then select the correct size hose barb
fitting for the tool based on the I.D of the hose. The low pressure gauge tool should be installed on the fresh air side of the canister close
valve (whenever possible).
2. Install the proper size of hose barb onto the low pressure tester. Use teflon tape (or equivalent) to insure a good seal.
3. Slide the hose clamp over the barb connector to prevent any leaks.
4. Use a bungee cord (or equivalent) to suspend or support the tool. This will prevent kinking of any system hoses.
5. Two pairs of hose pinching pliers (Snap-On part # BLC2 or equivalent) will be needed to diagnose the system.
NOTE 1:
DO NOT exceed 30" H20 when pressurizing the system (pressurize SLOWLY!) or the gauge will be damaged. The low pressure gauge is a
very sensitive tool.
NOTE 2:
NEVER use shop air.
NOTE 3:
NEVER pressurize the evap tester (low pressure gauge) by itself. Connect it to an evaporative emission system, or leave the 1/2" end open to
fresh air. The Mityvac (YA4OOO) can over-pressurize the evap tester in less than one stroke.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 192
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 942
1. Use a Mityvac pump (Snap-On P/N YA4OOO or equivalent) to pressurize the system through the pressure port of the pump; connect the
Mityvac to the one-way valve.
2. SLOWLY pressurize the system up to 20" H20 (use the bleeder valve to bleed off pressure if over 20" H20). The system will "settle" (drop 3
- 7" H20) over a short period of time to equalize pressure throughout the system (see note below).
A. Vehicles with the canister at the front of the vehicle should be allowed 45 seconds for the system to settle.
B. Vehicles with the canister at the rear of the vehicle should be allowed 30 seconds for the system to settle.
Repressurize the system pressure up to 20" H20 after the "settling" has stabilized with the Mityvac pump.
3. After repressurizing the "settled" stabilized system to 20" H20, observe the gauge.
A. Steady gauge:
b. A leak may occur from a DM-TL* that isn't sealing properly internally.
c. If DT6 P0455 was set, the vehicle may have a pinched hose (blockage) in the purge line.
* The sealing ability of the canister close valve or DM-TL is not being tested using the gauge test. If the canister close valve or
DM-TL is suspected of leaking, it should be swapped with a known good unit, and the system checked with the Hi-Scan Pro.
B. If the gauge drops 2" H20 (0.07 psi) in 1 minute, a leak is present.
1. Place a set of hose pinching pliers between the one way valve and the gauge to prevent leaks past the one way valve on the
gauge.
2. Find the leak by isolating each segment from the canister (purge line, fresh air line, to-tank line, etc.).
2. Soapy water, or a listening device will help with locating the leak.
Example: a leak through the purge control valve would leak into the intake manifold, so there is no external leak that soapy
water could find. However, using hose pinching pliers before or after the purge control valve would stop the low pressure
gauge from dropping, indicating a leak at the purge valve.
It is highly recommended to use the Hyundai Hi-Scan Pro to activate the evaporative emission self check. Using the Hi-Scan Pro will save time and
provide more consistent results. For most OBD- II Hyundai vehicles (with the exception of the 1996 Elantra), it is possible to use the Hi-Scan Pro
to activate the evaporative emissions self check in the service bay to verify repairs. "Road testing" is not practical to verify a repair for the 2000 MY
Accent, because it requires up to a 4 day time period of vehicle operation.
The self check can be found on the main menu after selecting Model and Year of the vehicle. For all vehicles except the 2000 Accent, the menu
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 193
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 943
item is labeled "Evap Leakage Test". For the 2000 Accent, the menu item is labeled DM-TL Test. Both the self checks inspect the system for leaks
'(see TSB 00-30-002 "2000 Accent Evaporative Emissions System Operation").
To familiarize yourself with the operation of the self check, remove the gas cap of a known vehicle that is operating properly and activate the self
check (follow the instructions on the Hi Scan Pro screen). With the gas cap removed, DTCs P0455, P0442 or P1443 should register after the test is
finished. Erase the code when finished, and replace the gas cap. If no code appears, turn the ignition key to off until the main power relay shuts off
and retry the process. If no code appears at this point, call the Hyundai Tech Line.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
C. Isolate the leak to the front or rear of the car (or fuel tank from canister) using the appropriate schematic to isolate components.
Apply hose pinching pliers at different locations until the source of the leak is found.
P0442: A. Isolate the leak to the front or rear of the car (or fuel tank from canister) using the appropriate schematic to isolate components.
Apply hose pinching pliers at different locations until the source of the leak is found.
B. For 1998-2000 Elantra/Tiburon with no apparent leak found, verify that the white fill vent valve plunger moves freely inside its
cage.
C. For 1998-2000 Elantra/Tiburon with no apparent leak found, verify that the canister close valve seals properly. Replace valve if
necessary.
E. For 2000 Accent, inspect the canister purge valve (CPV) for a mechanically "partially open" condition. Replace valve as necessary.

Note:
Make sure the fuel tank is not completely full when performing the 1998 Elantra/Tiburon evaporative emission self check. If the fuel tank is
completely full, the HDS waveform may not be as easy to evaluate (see graph # 5).
Note:
When connecting the 1998 Sonata to HDS, select the vehicle as California Specification. When this TSB was published, the Differential
Pressure Sensor (DPS) could only be selected when choosing the California Certified vehicle.
B. Inspect the "Fresh Air" circuit. Use the "Pressurize/Clamp/Observe" method to isolate a possible blockage by disconnecting hoses at different
points, each time farther from the canister.
C. Inspect the canister close valve (CCV) as described in "canister close valve inspection". Replace valve as necessary.
PO441:
A. Inspect the canister purge valve (CPV) for a mechanically "partially open" condition as described in "canister purge valve inspection".
Replace valve as necessary.
PO455:
A. Check for a missing/loose gas cap first.

B. Inspect for pinched hoses in the "Purge or Tank" circuits causing a vacuum restriction to DPS.
C. Determine whether the leak is at the front or rear of the car, and use the appropriate schematic to isolate the leak in one circuit at a time by
applying hose pinching pliers at different locations until the source of the leak is found. See troubleshooting procedure.
PO442
A. Determine whether the leak is at the front or rear of the car, and use the appropriate schematic to isolate the leak in one circuit at a time by
applying hose pinching pliers at different locations until the source of the leak is found. See troubleshooting procedure.
B. For 1998 Elantra/Tiburon with no apparent leak found, verify that the white fill vent valve plunger moves freely inside its cage.
C. For 1998 Elantra/Tiburon with no apparent leak found, verify canister close valve seals properly as described in "canister close valve
inspection". Replace valve if necessary.
1. Connect HDS to the vehicle, enter "SIMU-TECH", then select "SIGNAL WAVEFORMS".
2. At the signal selection screen, select "ORDER", and then select "BY NAME". Then select "CANISTER CLOSE VALVE", "CANISTER
PURGE SOLENOID", and "DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR".
4. Select "CTRL" (control), select "MS/DIV", and then select "300 MS/DIV".
6. Start the vehicle and look at your watch (the self test occurs 16 minutes and 48 seconds after start-up).
7. After start-up, verify that the voltage for the canister close valve and canister purge valve is approximately 13.5 volts, and the DPS reads
approximately 1.6-2.7 volts depending how recently the purge control solenoid was last activated. The self check will not occur if the DPS is
below 1.6 volts. If the DPS is below 1.6 volts, stop here and perform troubleshooting procedure P0446 in this TSIB.
8. After 15 minutes, begin watching the "CAN CLOS" (Canister Close Valve) signal.
9. As soon as the canister close valve voltage drops to near zero, wait 39 seconds.
12. Select "ZOOM", then select "-32". The screen will now look similar to graphs 1-5 on pages 6-10 of this TSB. You may have to SCROLL the
data FORWARD or BACKWARD to get the data onto your screen.
Using the HDS Digital Overlay Feature
After performing steps 1-12 to capture the self check, the digital overlay feature can be used to determine exact voltages and time frames at any
point on the waveform.
2. Use the track ball to place the cursor on your starting point and click the track ball button.
3. Move the cursor to the left or to the right to analyze the data desired.
Using the Hyundai Scanner to Activate the Self-Check
For 1997 Elantra, 1997 Tiburon, and 1997 DOHC Accent, scanners with cartridge V1.8 can be used to activate the self check anytime after the
vehicle reaches operating temperature. However, the scanner will not activate the self check for 1996 and 1998 vehicles at this time.
2. Make sure the vehicle is at normal operating temperature, there are no DTC codes present (clear any codes before performing the check), and
the O2 sensor is in Close Loop.
3. If all conditions are met, start the Evap Check and the scan-tool will display "Now Trying to Trigger Evap Test". A few seconds later
"Waiting For Evap Test To End" is displayed.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 214

4. Approximately 30 seconds later, the message "Evap Test Complete" will be displayed. Wait about 10-15 seconds to stop the HDS recording
(continue with steps 10-12, under Connecting the Vehicle to HDS).
Enhanced Evaporative Emission Troubleshooting
Perform the following to inspect the system for leaks:
Note 1:
The procedure described below assumes that all electrical connections are in good condition.
Note 2:
A "test" hose should be made from an 18 inch (457.2 mm) length of 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) fuel hose to perform most of the diagnostic procedures.
Note 3:
Two pairs of hose pinching pliers (Snap-On part # BLG2 or equivalent) will be needed to help troubleshoot the system.
1. Referring to the appropriate schematic, connect and clamp the "test hose" to the following hose in the system:
1998 Sonata:
The hose is located between the canister and the two way valve (Photo 1 - Left, rear of vehicle).
1998 Elantra/Tiburon:
The hose is located between the canister and the canister close valve (Photo 2 - Left, rear of vehicle).
Note:
For 1998 Elantra/Tiburon, the fuel tank must not be completely full to perform the following procedure. If the fuel tank is completely full,
the waveform may not be as easy to evaluate.
1996/97 Elantra/Tiburon
1997 DOHC/1998 Accent
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 215
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 965
The hose is located between the canister air filter and the canister close valve (Photo 3 - Left, front, inner fender of vehicle).
b. At the signal selection screen, select "ORDER", "BY NAME" and then "DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR".
f. While watching the DPS signal on HDS, GENTLY begin to blow into the fuel hose with approximately 1.0 psi (the DPS voltage
should begin to rise). Continue to gently blow into the hose until the DPS voltage is approximately 4.0 volts.
Do not over pressurize since the sensor cannot read over 4.7 volts.
3. a. When the DPS reads approximately 4.0 volts, immediately clamp the "test" hose with hose pinching pliers (see Photo 4).
b. In a good system, the voltage will remain steady or even rise slightly if the canister is at the rear of the car (the value must remain
constant: +/- 0.05 volts over 10 seconds). If the voltage drops, go to step E. If the voltage remains steady, go to step C.
c. By removing the hose pinching pliers, the system should return to atmospheric pressure (2.5 +/- 0.2 volts) within 25 seconds. If the
voltage takes longer than 25 seconds to return to 2.5 +/- 0.2 volts, go to step D. If the voltage returns in less than 25 seconds, go to step
J.
d. If it takes longer than 25 seconds, check for restricted vapor hoses or internal blockages in the "to tank" circuit. Correct any conditions
found. Repeat step 2.
e. If the DPS voltage decreases after clamping, a leak is present in one of the circuits or at the canister. Isolate the leak into either the
Purge, Tank or Fresh Air circuits. Use the procedure outlined below.
f. Pressurize and clamp as described in steps 2 and 3a, and connect a second set of hose pinching pliers at the "to tank" vapor hose on the
canister. If the voltage drops, go to step G. If the voltage remains steady, go to step 1.
g. Pressurize and clamp as described in steps 2 and 3a, and connect a second set of hose pinching pliers at the "purge" vapor hose on the
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 216
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 966
canister. If the voltage drops, go to step H. If the voltage remains steady, go to step 1.
h. Inspect the canister for a small leak by clamping both the "purge" and "to tank" vapor hoses, and supplying a low pressure source
(approximately 1 psi) into the fresh air nipple, while spraying the canister with soapy water. If a leak is found, replace the canister. If
no leak is found, repeat procedure starting at steps 2 and 3a.
i If the DPS voltage remains steady after the second set of hose pinching pliers are clamped, then the leak is on the other side of the
"clamped" circuit. Pressurize and clamp as described in steps 2 and 3a, each time moving the second set of hose pinching pliers farther
away from the canister, but in the same circuit until the leak is found. The "test hose" connection may have to be moved to different
areas when checking the "to tank" circuit. Use the schematic to try to keep the DPS in the system when pressurizing and observing for
leaks.
j. If no apparent leak is found, thoroughly check the "fresh air" circuit and the canister close valve as described in "canister close valve
inspection".
Caster Close Valve Inspection
Cycle the CCV several times using a test lead connected to a 12 volt battery source. Gently blow through the top nipple with low pressure
(approximately 1 psi) and check for a small leak. At 1 psi, no air should pass through the valve.
Warning:
Blowing more than 1 psi through the top of the valve can push the valve seal off the seat giving the appearance of a leak, and blowing into the
side nipple will push the seal onto the seat, masking a potential leak.

2. Check for an intermittent condition. Cycle the CPV several times using the test lead by connecting it to a 12 volt battery source. Disconnect
the power source and blow through it again in both directions. Without it being energized, the valve should not allow air to pass through it.
Replace the valve if necessary.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 217
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 967
3. "Tee" in a vacuum gauge on the "canister" side of the CPV. With a good valve, vacuum is "0" when the CPV is not cycling. The gauge will
pulse when it starts to cycle. Touch your hand on the CPV to verify when it stops cycling; the gauge should read "0" vacuum when the valve
is not cycling. If the gauge reads any amount of vacuum when it is not cycling, the valve is stuck open and needs replacing.
Fill Vent Valve Inspection
Remove the Fill Vent Valve from the fuel tank enough to see that the white valve plunger is in the "open" position and moves freely up and down.
If the white valve plunger is stuck "up" in the closed position, the fuel fill vent valve assembly will need to be replaced.

This TSB is an addendum to TSB 00-30-003. Technicians already familiar with TSB 00-30-003 will benefit from the new diagnostic tree. Several
revisions are embedded into the diagnostic tree, and a summary of the revisions are shown. New technicians can start with the diagnostic tree and
refer to TSB 00-30-003 for additional information.
INTRODUCTION:
By pressurizing a sealed evaporative emission system, the pressure leakdown rate can easily be measured using a low pressure gauge. The system
should be slowly pressurized to a very low pressure (in this case 20" H20) . A properly operating system (one that does not leak) will not lose any
pressure; in fact, with high fuel temperature and high ambient temperature, pressure may increase due to fuel vaporization. A very small leak is read
as a 2" H20 drop of pressure over one minute.This tool is intended to verify and diagnose evaporative emission leaks with Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) P0456, P0442, P0455, P0457, and P1443. In some instances DTCs P0446, P0440 and P0441 can also be diagnosed.

5. Use hose pinching pliers to clamp off sections to isolate the leak.
6. Use a bungee cord (or equivalent) to support the tool to prevent kinked hoses.
1. Fuel caps must NOT be tightened or adjusted prior to performing the leak check.
A. Fuel caps that are loose due to improper installation by the customer are not warrantable. A loose fuel cap is not a result of a "defect in
factory material or workmanship".
2. Fuel level must be below 1/4 to perform the low pressure leak check. The ideal condition is with low fuel light on.
3. The pressure tester tool should be pinched with hose pinching pliers (such as Snap-on P/N BLC2 or equivalent) between the one way valve
and the pressure release valve.
4. Pipe thread sealer must be used on the hose barb connection of the pressure gauge.
5. Canister close valve or DM-TL replacement should only be performed after proper pressure checking.

SULFUR ODOR FROM EXHAUST
DESCRIPTION:
Some vehicles may experience a sulfur-like or "rotten egg" odor coming from the exhaust. The amount of sulfur in the fuel sold in California is
regulated; however, the sulfur content in gasoline sold in other states can be significantly higher. Sulfur content can differ considerably between
gasoline brands and locations. Sulfur is a natural component of crude oil from which gasoline is refined. The amount of sulfur in gasoline can be
reduced through the refining process.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 232
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 982
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
^ All Models
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
A sulfur odor coming from the exhaust does not necessarily indicate there is an issue with the engine's running condition. A sulfur odor most likely
is related to the fuel; however, if an excessive sulfur odor is determined, perform the following steps:
1. MIL ON - Check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and repair as necessary.
2. If no DTCs are found, recommend the customer to try an alternate gasoline source.
Replacement of the oxygen sensors, air/fuel ratio sensors or catalytic converters will not reduce the odor and will not be considered warrantable.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
Normal warranty procedures apply, only if the concern is found to be a defect in factory workmanship or materials.

SCAN TOOL SOFTWARE UPDATE INFORMATION (VERSION 1.8)
DESCRIPTION:
This TSB describes the 1998 Scan Tool Software Package (V1.8) along with the following additional information to assist with Scan Tool
operation:
The new 1998 Scan Tool software update contains the following improvements and additions:
^ Evap system trigger for 1997 vehicles for use with Hyundai Diagnostic System (HDS) (this will save the Technician from waiting for the 15
minute pre-cycle time). See this TSB for complete instructions.
^ Data display uses "Custom Data" menu only. (Encourages Technician to select only the relevant component data to be displayed, resulting in
improved data refresh rates.)
^ Checks for proper GCI chip. (The GC1 chip is the other chip on the cartridge circuit board that must be at version 1.1. Communication errors
would occur if the proper GC1 chip is not installed.)
A. If a "No Communication" message is displayed on the HDS Scan Tool when trying to view codes or data, check/try the following items:
^ Check for correct Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Be careful when entering a 1997 or 1998 VIN and answer the "Tiburon?"
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 236
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 986
question correctly,
^ Clean the contacts of the K5A Personality Key with Hyundai Multi-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser or another suitable contact cleaner, A
film or residue from the shop environment may form on the Personality Key contacts causing poor circuit connection. Results may be
erratic communication or no communication at all.
Note:
Many SRS system communication conditions are solved by cleaning the K5A Personality Key. However, if cleaning the K5A Personality Key
contacts does not work, a replacement key may be necessary. Call Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233 to order a new K5A key (P/N J-41490-K5A).
^ SRS communication conditions can occur when the main SRS fuse is blown. The SRS light may be on, however, the module does not
have power and cannot communicate with the Scan Tool.
^ Secure data link connection - Check OBD-II adapter and vehicle data link connector pins for damage. (Tweaking of OBD-II adapter pins
approximately 10 degrees may help.)
^ Turn the ignition key OFF and back ON. This re-sets the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) communication system.
^ In some cases, for older model vehicles (pre-1996), it may be necessary to attempt communication by selecting one year above or one
year below the model year being worked on as the software in the Scan Tool can only accommodate one communication setting per
model configuration.
^ Re-enter the VIN and make sure the key is in the ON position and not the ACC position.
B. Codes should only be cleared with the ignition in the ON position. If the engine is running, the codes may not be cleared properly.
C. If the plastic cartridge housing is cracked or damaged, an empty replacement plastic cartridge (P/N J-41490-16) (includes the label) can be
ordered through Kent-Moore. (See this TSB for more information and Scan Tool part numbers.)
D. A new Scan Tool adapter is available that contains an extra plastic strip to allow a more secure connection to the data link connector.
1. Set up the HDS as you normally would to monitor the Evap System by selecting from the "Signal Waveforms" screen the Canister Close
Valve, the Canister Purge Valve and the Differential Pressure Sensor (DPS). Set the MS/DIV (millisecond/division) to 300.
2. Make sure the vehicle is running at normal operating temperature, there are no codes present (clear any code before performing test) and the
oxygen sensor is active.
3. If all conditions are met, start the Evaporative Emission Test and the Scan Tool will display "Now Trying to Trigger Evap Test". After a few
seconds "Start Recording on the HDS System" message will display. At this point click the RUN button on HDS to start recording.

4. About 30 seconds later the message "Wait about 10 seconds then stop recording on the HDS System" will be displayed. After 10 seconds,
stop the recording on the HDS. The HDS should have captured the Evaporative Emission System cycle. If the Evap Test did not perform as
described above, disconnect and then re-connect the scan-tool before attempting to perform the Evap Test again.
Note:
i) After performing the Evap Test, it may be necessary to cycle the key off and back on to view engine codes and data. This resets the
powertrain control module (PCM) communication system.
ii) The Evap Test can only be performed twice during one key on cycle. Turn the engine off and wait about 15 seconds before trying to run the
test again.
Shown is a list of replacement part numbers for the HDS scan tool. To order any of the items listed, contact Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233.

7. Replace hydraulic lash adjusters.
NOTE: 2nd and all subsequent repair attempts Call the Hyundai Technical Assistance line at (800) 325-6604. Be prepared to answer the questions
on the Misfire Diagnostic Worksheet. You may be asked to fax a completed copy of the worksheet to expedite the diagnosis / repair process.
Engine misfire detection is based on the difference of engine rotational speed between the firing cylinders and the missing cylinder. When a
cylinder is misfiring, it takes a "longer time" for the crankshaft to rotate to the next cylinder in the firing order. This "time" is measured by the
crankshaft angle sensor (CAS) which measures the actual rotational travel of the crankshaft in real time. This information is evaluated by the ECM.
If the misfiring cylinder took "longer" to rotate the crankshaft than the other cylinders, the ECM will set the appropriate diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) for that cylinder. As an example; an inline 4 cylinder engine's crankshaft rotates 1800 as each cylinder fires through the firing order. In a
properly running engine with a firing order of 1-3-4-2, the time between the firing of 1-3 will be the same as 3-4, 4-2, and 2-1. In an engine that has
a misfire in cylinder #2; it takes the crankshaft longer to travel through the 2-1 firing rotation.
The repair of today's misfire is more difficult than pre-OBD-II vehicles because the ECM is programmed to detect the slightest change of
crankshaft rotational speed. The criteria for detecting a misfire is set by the Federal Government and all vehicles sold in the U.S. must comply with
these requirements. The engine management system must be able to perform three critical elements of misfire detection:
1. Monitor, identify and if severe enough, illuminate the "check engine" light for a misfiring cylinder;
2. Set separate diagnostic trouble codes for multiple cylinders;
3. During a misfire great enough to damage the catalyst, the "check engine" light must blink.
P0300 - Misfiring in more than one cylinder, but unable to detect the specific cylinder because the misfire is random.
NOTE: This can set a misfire code due to poor combustion leading to excessive carbon deposits.
- Steady light.
* All items should be considered.

Diagnostic Procedure
SCAN TOOL DATA
Use the Hyundai Scan Tool to retrieve DTC codes and freeze frame data. Any Diagnostic Trouble Codes other than misfire codes must be repaired
before attempting to correct the misfire code(s). Retrieving scan tool freeze frame data can be just as valuable as the customer's information. Engine
operating conditions at the time the DTC was set can indicate what system to inspect. A vehicle that misfires on initial start-up may indicate a
problem with oil pressure and/or hydraulic lash adjusters. Ensure that the Coolant Temperature Sensor, Intake Air Temperature Sensor, Air Flow
Meter, and Long Term Fuel Trim are reading normal values (when compared to a known good car).
IGNITION WIRES
When removing plug wires from the spark plugs, you must use spark plug pliers. Twisting the boot to break the heat seal often is necessary, even
when using the pliers. Never try to pull on the plug wire itself. You may cause a separation (open) in the resistance wire, or at the terminal end.
Dielectric Grease
Before installing the spark plug boot onto the spark plug, smear a thin film of Permatex Dielectric Tune-Up Grease (or equivalent) to the following
three locations:
2. Around the tip of the spark plug boot (just inside the opening)
3. At the bottom of the spark plug boot (on the terminal connector)
The dielectric grease helps prevent any voltage leakage from the terminal stud to the metal shell of the spark plug. Do not attempt to "waterproof"
the spark plug boot by filling the boot with dielectric grease. This can prevent the terminal inside the boot from locking onto the spark plug terminal
stud.
Spark Plugs
If you have a misfire, there's a fair chance a spark plug is the cause. Although plugs won't lead-foul with today's unleaded gasoline, they can
oil-foul, carbon-foul or even be fouled by some fuel additives. Look for excessive oily-black or sooty carbon-black deposits. Causes of deposits
include oil entering the combustion chamber past the valve stem seals or piston rings, an overly rich fuel mixture, continuous low speed driving, a
spark plug that has too cold of a heat rating, or deterioration of the ignition system. Spark plugs will usually set a specific cylinder DTC code (i.e.
P0301, P0302 etc.).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 246
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 996
A "Corona Discharge" is a phenomenon that occurs in a humid environment, or when the insulator surface is dirty (see photo's). This condition
occurs if an electrical charge builds-up and there is moisture in the air (or spark plug tube) or the plug has a dirty insulator. The worst case result is
a flash-over spark from the metal shell to the terminal stud. A result of the discharge is carbon tracking.
A. Ionization is building on the porcelain at the top of the metal shell (seen as a pale blue light);
B. The ionization is creeping up the porcelain insulator.
C. Flash-over occurs when/if the ionization reaches the terminal stud.
Photo: Corona Stain caused by oil particles in the air that are attracted to the corona discharge. The corona stain causes no deterioration to the
function of the spark plug; however, any moisture adhering to the porcelain or the stain will cause flash-over
Carbon tracking (see photos) not only builds on the spark plug, it can also leave carbon deposits on the inside of spark plug boot. If carbon tracking
is found, replace spark plugs and ignition wires in sets.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 247
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 997
Ignition Coil
When misfires occur in paired cylinders (ie. P0301 and P0304; or P0302 and P0303 for inline four cylinder engines), the coil should be inspected
using HDS to verify the signal waveform, or swapped with a known good coil to see if the misfire codes travel to the other cylinders. Two
examples of how properly operating and malfunctioning coils appear are shown below.
- The above example shows the ignition signal viewed on HDS. Firing duration on Coil 2 & 3 indicates the coil is functioning properly
(test with engine as operating temperature
- HDS plot for Coil 1 & 4 shows an insufficient firing duration.
Fuel Quality
Fuel quality concerns usually appear as multiple cylinder or random misfire codes. A sample of the fuel should be taken from the bottom of the fuel
filter. Inspect the fuel for traces of water by using a test kit, or by letting the fuel "settle out". If water and/or contamination is found, replace the
filter and inspect the fuel tank for water or corrosion. If no water or contamination is found, install a new filter as contamination in the fuel tank is
not likely. Additionally, if large amounts of very fine rust are found in the fuel filter, fuel tank and at the fuel injectors, replacement of components
between the injectors and fuel tank may be required. Fuel quality will usually set a random misfire code (P0300) and/or specific cylinder DTC
codes (i.e. P0301, P0302 etc.).
Fuel Injectors
Fuel injectors can be checked by swapping locations of the suspect injector to another cylinder and checking if the misfire code travels with it. Fuel
pressure and fuel pressure bleed down should also be inspected. Fuel pressure at idle must be 35-39 psi with the vacuum hose connected to the fuel
pressure regulator. With the vacuum hose disconnected from the fuel pressure regulator, the pressure should rise to approximately 42-46 psi. Fuel
pressure must not bleed down for 5 minutes (after the initial settling that occurs when the engine is turned off). After 20 minutes, the pressure must
remain above 25 psi. If rust is found at the fuel injectors and fuel tank, replacement of components between the injectors and fuel tank may be
required. Fuel injectors will usually set a specific cylinder DTC code (i.e. P0301, P0302 etc.).
NOTE: Some leakage will always occur past the piston rings. Experience will be required to discern "normal" amounts of leakage.
To save time, the leakage check can be performed when the spark plugs have already been removed from the engine. The leakage check should be
performed with a warm engine, but cool enough to remove the spark plugs without damaging the threads in the cylinder head (removing spark
plugs out of a hot engine with aluminum cylinder heads will damage the threads). Follow the manufacture's instructions for specific tool usage.
A cylinder leakage test will provide the same data a compression test provides, but the leakage test will be more accurate and pinpoint where the
leak is coming from.
Oil pressure should be measured with the engine at operating temperature, with a gauge connected at the oil pressure sensor port. Typical oil
pressure reads 10-20 psi at idle (depending on the vehicle), and 35-45 psi at 2000 rpm (depending on the vehicle). If the oil pressure is too high or
low and the oil and filter have been changed, inspect the oil pressure regulator at the oil pump for a possible stuck open or stuck closed condition.
For Elantra and Tiburon engines, there's a check valve located in the cylinder block near the cylinder head deck. The check ball should be able to
move freely in its "cage". The check valve also acts as an orifice so that the cylinder head receives less pressure at the head than at the main
bearings.
Cylinder head bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence, and to the specified torque value. Cylinder heads that are improperly torqued can lead
to cylinder head gasket leakage between cylinders. Be sure to follow the specification in each shop manual for proper torquing of the cylinder head
bolts. The 1996-1999 Elantra-Tiburon engine and the 1999 2.5L V6 Sonata engine use the "torque-angle" method to clamp the cylinder head to the
cylinder block. The "torque-angle" method involves torquing the fastener to a predetermined starting torque, then tightening the fastener to the
additional angle(s) published in the shop manual. Use Snap-On Torque Angle Gauge P/N TA362 (or equivalent) to aid in determining the proper
angle to tighten the fasteners to.
In some cases, the lash adjuster bore in the cylinder head can become distorted and mechanically bind up the lash adjuster. The lash adjuster should
always move freely in its bore. An example of this is on the 1.8/0LOL engine used in the Elantra and Tiburon. The number four cylinder has an
M12 cylinder head mounting bolt located next to one of the intake valve lash adjuster bores. It the cylinder head bolt is overtorqued, it causes the
lash adjuster bore to distort, thus binding the lash adjuster. This can hold a valve open long enough to lose compression in the cylinder and cause a
misfire. This condition may not show up in a leak down test or compression test, but should be visually inspected if a P0304 code is stored.
A loose tone wheel can quickly be checked while the GAS is removed from the engine. Use a long, narrow, flat blade screwdriver to push, pull
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 249
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 999
and/or by on the tone wheel through the GAS hole. Any movement of the tone wheel indicates its loose. The tone wheel is mounted to the
crankshaft with four screws.
After the above inspections are made, the cylinder head should be ready for removal. The cylinder head should be left as a sub-assembly (valves,
springs, retainers, and keepers) and sent to a competent, professional machine shop for the following:
- Replace all valve guides and ream guide inner diameter to establish correct guide to valve fit
- Cut valves at 46°
- Cut the seats with a "three angle" cut (30°, 45°, 60°), aiming to the minimum published seat width specification
- Measure valve spring tension and replace out of spec springs
- Measure the installed height of the valve spring
When the finished head is returned from the machine shop, it may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic lash adjusters so as not to bind the camshaft
during installation. As a final check before installation, fill the combustion chamber (or intake and exhaust ports) with solvent and wait 5 minutes.
The solvent should not bleed past the valves. If it does leak, the cylinder head should be returned to the machine shop for corrective measures.

DISCUSSION:
SP-II ATF has been used as a factory fill for Hyundai automatic transaxles since the production dates shown below. Previously, type 7176 ATF
was used as a factory fill.
SP-II is blended to a different specification than type 7176. It has a different additive package and was designed to give ideal friction characteristics
to the new transaxles used by Hyundai. The benefits of SP-II are:
^ The low temperature shifting characteristics of the transaxle have been improved, due to the low temperature characteristics of SP-II.
^ The chemical stability and oxidation resistance of SP-II has been improved, which allows a longer maintenance interval.
MAINTENANCE INTERVAL:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 257
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1007
The maintenance interval for the ATF and the filter has been changed as follows:
^ Extensive idling.
^ More than 50% driving in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 90°F (32°C).
^ Towing a trailer.
PARTS INFORMATION:
NOTE:
The previous ATF is no longer available from the Hyundai Parts System. Only SP-II ATF will be provided to Hyundai dealers in quart bottles.
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
For 1986-95 vehicles, use either type 7176 or SP-II ATF Type 7176 and SP-II ATF can be mixed in any proportion. If type 7176 ATF is used, or
type 7176 and SP-II ATF are mixed, the previous maintenance interval must be followed. Technical Service Bulletin # 00-40-004 Date:

Before replacing an automatic transaxle with a remanufactured unit, it is critical that the technician perform a "30 second walkaround" comparison
of the two units. This quick inspection will ensure that the replacement transaxle is fully compatible with the original unit.
INSPECTION:
Prior to installation, carefully compare the two transaxles, looking especially at the following:
1. Torque converter - ring gear location (stepped versus flush), number of bolts and bolt thread pitch
2. Solenoid and temperature sensor connectors - flush connector or extension harness and number of pins
The inspection should be conducted whenever a transaxle is replaced to confirm that the transaxle is compatible, prior to attempting installation.
NOTE: If an incorrect transaxle has been ordered and not installed or damaged, your Parts Department may return it to the PDC through DCS
using the new 45-day BC Return Program.
If an incorrect transaxle has been installed or damaged, it must be returned to the remanufacturer. Please write "ordered in error" or "damaged" in
the space for the old ATM serial number on the "Core Return Checklist".

DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides a service procedure for the removal and installation of manual transaxles with the "pull" type clutch system.
"Pull" or "push" type clutch systems refer to the direction of operation to disengage the clutch relative to the flywheel. In a "pull" type clutch
system, the release bearing is attached to the clutch cover fingers and "pulls" the clutch cover away from the clutch disc (away from the flywheel),
disengaging the clutch.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
All 1996 Model Year and newer vehicles equipped with manual transaxles except Accents which have the "push" type clutch system.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
2. The reference photo shows the clutch related components as viewed from outside the transaxle case.
4. Separate the release lever by removing the snap pin and clevis pin.

1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 272
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1022
DESCRIPTION:
The following conditions may be caused by an improperly functioning pulse generator. The conditions may be intermittent and difficult to
duplicate.
^ Harsh 2-1 downshift, at a higher speed than the normally scheduled downshift
The following diagnostic codes (DTC) may be stored in memory in the transaxle control module (TCM):
Note 1:
For Non-OBD II vehicles, always check the "Transaxle" menu in the HDS Scan Tool for additional codes.
Note 2:
The following DTCs may be induced by an incorrect output of the PG-B and do not necessarily indicate a mechanical condition in the transaxle.
After repairs are made to the pulse generator, clear the codes and test drive the vehicle for two driving cycles*. If the DTCs do not return, the codes
were induced by the incorrect output of the PG-B.
^ The fuel system goes into closed loop. (To determine closed loop, attach the HDS Scan Tool to the data link connector (DLC), select
"Engine", "Codes and Data" and "Data" menus and monitor "Fuel Sys1" until the readout is "CL")
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
2. Using small needle nose pliers, gently twist the male pins in the pulse generator main connector approximately ten (10) degrees clockwise to
ensure electrical contact.
4. Remove the connector from the transaxle mounting bracket. Leave the connector loose on the transaxle case to prevent any tension on the
harness.
5. Verify the correct operation of the pulse generator according to the procedure shown.
B. From the Menu, select "4-Speed Trans", "Codes and Data" and "Data".
C. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed in third gear with the overdrive switch off while an assistant monitors PG-A and PG-B. Check that
both PG-A and PG-B are approximately equal to the engine rpm in third gear. If so, the pulse generators are functioning properly.

OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION:
The following information and procedure is provided to assist you in documenting and verifying excessive oil consumption.
An engine that is operating properly will use some amount of oil. A thin oil film is responsible for lubricating the cylinder walls and preventing
premature ring and cylinder wear. This oil film is consumed during the combustion process and the amount consumed can add up over many hours
of engine operation.
Engine oil usage will vary based on many factors including ambient temperature, engine size, quality and viscosity of oil, and driving habits.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 274
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1024
The first 1,200 miles are very important for the engine to break in and engine oil usage may be slightly greater during this time period. The oil
consumption test (outlined below) should not be performed on a vehicle with less than 1,200 miles.
TEST PROCEDURE:
1. Check the oil level on the dipstick and record the reading. Change oil and filter under the normal maintenance procedure. Note the condition
of the oil. Does it look like the oil has been changed at the proper intervals?
2. Arrange with the customer to visit the dealership every time the engine needs oil for the duration of the test. At every visit, the oil
consumption sheet must be filled out including mileage, date, amount of oil added and the technician's initials. For a proper diagnosis, the
amount of oil consumed over a known mileage should be checked three times and then averaged.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 275
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1025
The accumulated mileage divided by the total amount of oil added will give the consumption rate in miles per quart (see example below). If
the oil consumption rate is greater than 1000 miles per quart, further diagnosis may be required.

CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
TSB OUTLINE:
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
i) Visual Inspection
A) Using DVOM
The flow chart is provided as a suggested approach to efficiently diagnose a charging system.
I. General Information
The charging system consists of the following components:
^ Battery.
^ Charging indicator light (in the instrument cluster) and associated wiring.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 277
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1027
^ Pre-Excitation Resistor.
The generator has eight built-in diodes. These diodes convert the AC output of the generator into DC output (rectified).
All Hyundai generators have an internal voltage regulator. The regulator is part of the brush holder unit. The function of the voltage regulator is to
control the output voltage of the generator to prevent excessive voltage from being applied to the vehicle's electrical system.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 278
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1028
1. If the battery has vent caps, check the electrolyte level. It should be above the top of the plates or at the indicated level within the cells.
Add distilled or mineral free drinking water to raise the electrolyte level. Do not overfill.
2. Check for loose or corroded terminals and connectors. A solution of baking soda and water will clean most corrosion from the battery.
3. Inspect the battery case and cover for cracks and other physical damage.
NOTE:
If the battery shows any type of damage that cannot be cleaned or repaired, replace it.
The following procedure utilizes a Volt Ampere Tester, (VAT-4O or equivalent) to perform the Load Test Procedure.
NOTE:
Insure the battery is fully charged prior to conducting a load test.
3. Maintain this load for 15 seconds while watching the voltmeter Turn off the control knob immediately after 15 seconds.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 280
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1030
4. The voltage should not fall below 9.6 volts while the load is applied.
NOTE:
If the voltage falls below 9.6 volts while the load is applied, conduct the Three Minute Charge Test.
A three-minute charge test will determine if the discharged battery can be recharged or should be replaced. If the battery is to be tested in the
vehicle, disconnect both battery cables to avoid damaging the generator and electrical system. If high voltage is recorded early in the test,
stop the test and replace the battery. High internal resistance due to sulfation on poor internal connections will develop heat that can boil the
electrolyte.
1. Connect the charger leads to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity (+) lead to (+) terminal and (-) lead to (-) terminal.
2. Connect a voltmeter across the battery, (+) lead to (+) terminal and (-) lead to (-) terminal.
3. Turn the charger on and adjust it for the highest charging rate but not exceeding 40 amps for a 12 volt battery. If the charger has a
timer, set it for 3 minutes.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 281
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1031
4. After 3 minutes, read the voltmeter with the charger charging. If it is 15.5 volts or less, the battery can be safely recharged. If it exceeds
5.5 volts, the battery should be replaced.
3. Check the belt to make sure it fits properly into the pulley grooves.
2. Do not let the dial section of the tension gauge contact other objects during measurement.
3. Read the tension value on the dial and compare the reading to Hyundai specifications below.
NOTE 1:
Always take two or more readings, moving the belt each time.
NOTE 2:
If a tension gauge is not available, apply a pressure of 20-22 pounds (88.96-97.86N) to the belt. If the belt can be deflected more than 1/2 inch
(12.7 mm), the belt will require tightening.
Make sure that any multiple plug connectors are latched correctly. Make sure that all connections in the charging circuit are making good
electrical contact.
2. Generator terminals.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 283
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1033
3. Fusible links, connections at the fuse box and fuse box link.
1. Make sure that all warning lamps are off, all doors are fully closed and that the ignition key is turned "OFF" and the key is removed
from the ignition.
NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected, any Diagnostic Codes (DTC) stored in the engine control and transaxle control modules (ECM &
TCM) will be lost. In addition the clock and radio will have to be reset.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 284
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1034
3. Connect the ammeter in series between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable.
5. If the static current draw is above 25mA, isolate and repair the cause of the current draw
If the pre-excitation resistor malfunctions, the pre-excitation circuit may not function properly and generator initiation may not occur, in
which case, the generator will have no output. Thus, if a generator has no output, swap the pre-excitation resistor/relay with a known good
unit and check again for output in order to confirm or eliminate the pre-excitation circuit as a possible cause.

6. Adjust LOAD INCREASE knob until the reading of the Red Ammeter Scale indicates 175 A.
7. Observe the reading on the Green Voltmeter Scale. Note this reading.
8. Set VOLT SELECTOR knob to INT 18 V position. Observe the reading on the Green Voltmeter Scale. Subtract this reading
from the reading obtained in step 7. The difference is the voltage drop caused by circuit resistance and must be less than 0.5
volts.
NOTE:
If the voltage drop exceeds 0.5 volts, then conduct the test on the following page (Insulated Circuit Resistance Test).
NOTE:
Leave main clamps on VAT-40.
4. Adjust LOAD INCREASE knob until Red Ammeter Scale indicates 175 A.
*If below 0.5 volts, proceed to the "Ground Circuit Resistance Test".
*If above 0.5 volts, repeat this test with voltmeter connected across each connection and each wire of the insulated circuit to
isolate the point of high resistance.
3. Adjust LOAD INCREASE knob until Red Ammeter Scale indicates 175 A.
4. Observe Black (3 volt) Voltmeter Scale. Test with voltmeter leads connected across each connection and each wire of the ground
circuit to isolate the point of high resistance.
NOTE:
A partially discharged battery works best for this test. A partially discharged battery allows most of the electrical load to be put on the
Generator (thus taking the battery out of the equation).
1. Connect the Green Clamp-on Amps Pickup around the battery ground cable. Connect the NEGATIVE LOAD LEAD to the ground (-)
terminal of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE LOAD LEAD to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and read the rate of discharge on the Blue Ammeter Scale.
5. Adjust the LOAD INCREASE control slowly as required to obtain the highest reading on the Blue Ammeter scale. Do not allow the
voltage to drop below 12 volts.
NOTE:
For charging Systems rated above 100A, use the # 1 STARTING position and read the Red 0-500A scale.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 289
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1039
6. Rotate LOAD INCREASE control to OFF and shut off the engine.
7. Add the ammeter readings from step 3 and 5 for the total generator output. Compare this number to the normal generator output rating
found on the housing of the generator.
NOTE:
If the output from the generator is within 10% of the specifications (amperage), the generator passes this test. If not, replace the generator.
5. Note the reading on the voltmeter after it ceases to rise; generally the charging rate is between 5 and 10 amperes. The length of
time required depends upon the battery state of charge.
GOOD Regulator:
BAD Regulator:
Voltage is above or below specified voltage range (refer to the A. Using a DVOM & Ammeter table of this TSB). Replace the
generator per Hyundai's instructions and then retest system.
NOTE:
Continue to operate the engine at a speed of 2000 RPM.
1. With TEST SELECTOR set in the # 3 REGULATOR position, adjust the LOAD INCREASE control if necessary to obtain a
charge rate of at least 15 amperes.
2. Set the TEST SELECTOR to the # 4 DIODE STATOR position; observe the Red and Blue DIODE STATOR scale.
GOOD Regulator:
BAD Regulator:
Meter reads in Red area of DIODE STATOR scale. Replace the generator per Hyundai's instructions and then retest system.
3. Return the LOAD INCREASE control to OFF and the engine speed to idle.

GROUND MARKS ON THE INSIDE GLASS SURFACES
DESCRIPTION:
On some vehicles, circular marks may be visible on the inside surface of the glass. Typically these circles may only be visible when the glass is
fogged or dirty. These circular marks result from the suction cups used to handle the glass as it is assembled to the vehicle.
These marks may be removed by cleaning the glass with a good quality glass cleaner, such as Hyundai Glass Cleaner (P/N 00232-12160). Scrub the
glass two or three times with a clean cloth or paper towel, until the circle cannot be felt anymore. If this is not successful, the following procedure
can be used to clean the glass.
PRODUCTS REQUIRED:
^ No Touch brand "Auto Glass Stripper" available from Napa, Shucks, Kragen etc.
PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
Protect the trim under the glass. Any cleaners that drip onto the trim should be wiped up immediately with a clean damp cloth.
1. Fog the inside of the glass with a fine mist of glass cleaner. If the circles are present, they should be visible. Dry the glass.
2. Apply a small dab of "No Touch" brand "Auto Glass Stripper" to a clean damp towel or sponge (about a dime sized spot) and apply to the
affected area. Only work a small area at one time. Rub the product into the glass, scrubbing the surface of the glass. Do not allow the product
to drip onto the interior trim. After finishing with the first area, apply another small dab to the towel/sponge and repeat for any additional
areas.
3. Use a clean damp towel to remove the product from the glass. It may be necessary to use a few clean towels.
4. Fog the inside of the glass with a fine mist of glass cleaner. If any of the circle marks are still visible, repeat the procedure. If not, clean the
glass a final time to ensure no streaks are present.Technical Service Bulletin # 01-00-001 Date: 010301

AUDIO SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides a basic guide to assist in diagnosing Hyundai audio Systems. Detailed operational information regarding each specific model
of radio is described in the vehicle's owner's manual. Additional information is available in Hyundai Shop Manuals in the "Audio" portion of the
Body Electrical section, as well as the "Sound" or "Audio" System portion of the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.
NOTE:
Before diagnosing a customer's audio system, be sure you are familiar with the operation and features of the various Hyundai audio systems. At
times, the operation of Hyundai audio systems may be different from what the customer has assumed.
^ Verify the customer's comments and make sure the customer understands the operation of the radio.
^ Compare operation of the radio in the customer's vehicle with an identical radio in a vehicle where the radio is known to operate properly.
^ Test the radio outdoors with the hood of the vehicle closed (not under fluorescent lights).
^ Ensure that the antenna cable is fully inserted into the radio and antenna connectors. Check the antenna to ensure it is securely attached to the
vehicle and completely screwed into the base.
^ Check that the radio connector at the back of the radio case is fully inserted. Visually inspect all connector pins and receptacles.
^ Make sure the speaker connectors are properly connected to the speakers.

A customer may comment about a characteristic of FM reception that is really not a problem, but the normal operation of FM radios.
^ Before testing a customer's radio for reception, find three strong local stations for comparison to the customer's selected station.
^ The range of FM is less than that of AM. If the car is moving away from the station's transmitter, the signal will tend to fade out.
^ Most aftermarket window tint films will interfere with the reception on vehicles with in-glass antennas. The factory tint does not affect
reception.
Verify the customer's comments and make sure the customer understands the operation of the cassette player.
^ Check inside the tape slot for foreign objects (old cassette labels, keys, coins, etc.).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 310
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1060
^ Verify that any customer recorded tapes are made with good quality blank tapes. The use of 90 minutes or longer blank tapes is not
recommended.
^ Inform customers that they must keep the cassette units clean. Commercial head cleaners are available at reasonable prices for head and capstan
cleaning.
^ Replacing the radio unit should only be done following thorough diagnosis.
^ Verify the customer's comments and make sure the customer understands the operation of the CD player
If a CD player malfunction occurs, an error code will appear on the LED display. The following list describes each error code and a diagnostic step
to assist in correcting the malfunction.
NOTE:
Some customer recorded CDs (CDR, CDRW) may not play properly on some Hyundai radios. Paper labels should never be used in Hyundai
radios. The heat in the radios can cause the labels to separate from the CD, causing the CD mechanism to lock up. Radio replacements where
there is CD label residue in the CD player are not warrantable.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
Normal warranty procedures apply (see the Labor Time Standard LTS).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 312

COSMOLINE RESIDUE REMOVAL PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION:
Cosmoline is a coating that is applied to vehicles to protect paint surfaces during marine transit and storage. Some vehicles may have small amounts
of cosmoline residue after the cosmoline removal and cleaning operation has been completed at the port.
The cosmoline residue may be in one of two forms: patches or a thin film. Both types of cosmoline can be removed using cleaning solvents.
Cosmoline provides protection against a variety of harmful elements and, therefore, is resistant to some cleaning agents.
HMA has identified a non-petroleum solvent that removes cosmoline residue. The product Solsafe 245 is manufactured by BIO-T and is distributed
by Mamco International Corp. Solsafe 245 can be ordered from:
P.O. Box 5
Moraga, CA 94556
It should be noted that Solsafe 245 evaporates fairly quickly so it is not effective when it is allowed to sit or soak into the cosmoline. For thick or
difficult patches, re-apply additional Solsafe 245 and repeat the cleaning procedure until the cosmoline is removed.
Solsafe 245 will remove the cosmoline but may leave an oily residue. This residue can be cleaned with regular cleaners such as mineral spirits or
the equivalent.

Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1066
WARNING:
For hand protection, wear the surgical gloves similar to the pair provided with the ValuGard kit. Follow all safety precautions listed on product
containers and the material safety data sheets.
NOTE:
DO NOT apply to hot parts or while car is in direct sunlight. This may cause the product to dry too quickly and unevenly.
1. Using soft, clean, lint free towels, clean the discolored parts with ValuGard New Car Prep to remove all waxes, silicones, grease and other
contaminants.
2. Wipe the part dry with a soft, clean lint free towel. Make sure the part being refinished is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
4. Apply a small amount of ValuGard Color Gard (3 to 4 drops) to the gray sponge supplied with the kit.
5. Using the gray sponge, apply an even coat of black ValuGard Color Gard to the part. Work the color into the part in one direction and then
repeat the process in a crosswise direction to even out the color. If necessary, go over the part, moving the sponge along a third direction.
Move the sponge evenly; moving it too fast will cause air bubbles to form. Minimize the bubbles, but do not attempt to remove tall bubbles
from the treated part. Allow 5-10 minutes to dry.
6. Inspect the part for complete and even coverage. If necessary, apply a second coat of ValuGard Color Gard (repeat steps 3-5). Be sure the
bottle of ValuGard Color Gard is well shaken!
NOTE:
Color Gard that is accidentally applied to paint surfaces on the vehicle may be easily removed with the New Car Prep Product.
7. Following the 5 to 10 minute drying time for the ValuGard Color Gard, shake the bottle of white ValuGard U.V. Gard well.
8. Apply a small amount of ValuGard U.V. Gard (3 to 4 drops) to the white sponge included with the kit.
9. Using the white sponge, apply an even coat of white ValuGard U.V. Gard to the part. Allow a 5 to 10 minute drying time. Before the paint
fully dries, be sure that there are no bubbles. If any bubbles are present, work them into the part.
10. Inspect the part for complete and even coverage. If necessary, apply a second light coat of ValuGard U.V. Gard to even out the surface
(repeat steps 7-9).
NOTE:
DO NOT expose treated part to any water or water based cleaner for 24 hours.
NOTE:
DO NOT throw away used sponges. They may be reused. Rinse out sponges following use, with water. Make sure the sponges are completely
dry before they are reused. Application of the ValuGard product to the sponges softens and reactivates the sponges, allowing for multiple use.
NOTE:
Store all unused products and dispose of used material according to Federal, State and Local requirements.

DISC BRAKE NOISE INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION:
Vehicles may exhibit brake noise under certain driving conditions. This bulletin provides information regarding some brake noises and appropriate
service procedures for each condition. This information may be useful when explaining brake noises to your customers.
Note:
This TSB does not replace any previous bulletin.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 321
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1071
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
- Stopping distance
- Operating temperatures
- Moisture resistance
- Operating noise
Higher brake operating noise levels may occur as a result of optimizing factors that ensure brake operational performance.
Brake noises such as squealing, squeaking and grinding may result in questions by customers, but some of these noises are normal. Almost all disc
brake noises are caused by vibration of pads and calipers as the pads slide against the rotors to stop the vehicle. The following "Tips" may be
helpful in resolving brake noise conditions:
- Rear brake noise may sometimes be mistaken for front brake noise,
- If possible, verify the brake noise condition both with and without the driver side window down.
- Always check for the latest available information on the condition (Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), Tech Net Times, etc.).
Service Information
If no service information is available for repair of brake noise, follow the procedures:
- Apply anti squeal high viscosity brake disc quieter on pads as directed by the product manufacturer.
- If the rotors pass visual inspection, machine the rotors, applying a non directional swirl finish.
- Repair or replace rotors as necessary (see appropriate Shop Manual for rotor specification and service procedure).
Note:
Whenever possible, an on car lathe is recommended for machining rotors.
3. Apply Squeak Relief Spray on Brake Treatment on rotors as directed by the product manufacturer (available at most auto parts stores).
4. Perform "bedding in" procedure, as noted, to reduce brake noise and to make pads last longer.
F. Repeat steps D & E five times to complete the "bedding in" procedure for reducing brake noise.
- There may be a low frequency "judder" vibration associated with the noise.
Hyundai applies protective coatings to the brake rotors and pads to reduce corrosion during shipping and storage. These coatings may cause the
groaning noise until they are worn off. Under normal driving conditions, this may take about 300 miles. If this noise occurs even after the first 300
miles, it is not necessary to attempt any repairs.
Service procedure:
None
2. Squeaking/Squealing Noise:
This noise is common on vehicles with high performance potential that are able to stop in short distances from high speeds.
Service procedure:
Follow "Service Information" section of this TSB.
Hyundai uses pad wear indicators to provide an audible warning when the brake pads need replacement. Spring steel tabs that are attached to the
brake pad scrape lightly on the rotor surface when the pad is worn down to the point where it should be replaced. The pad wear indicator doesn't
damage the rotor surface if the pads are replaced in a reasonable time.
Service procedure:
Replace brake pads with latest available pads. Check the rotor surface for damage and machine or replace rotor as necessary.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
Normal warranty operation codes and times apply.Technical Service Bulletin # 99-50-003 Date: 990401

CABIN AIR FILTER APPLICATION CHART
DESCRIPTION:
The following tables provide factory installed cabin air filter applications, and also note which vehicles may be equipped with cabin air filters if
they were not installed during production.
A cabin air filter is a replaceable paper element filter that removes particulates such as dust from the air.
The filter locations for these vehicles vary; however, all are accessed by removing or lowering the glove box and/or glove box housing.
The typical service interval is 12,000 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. More frequent maintenance may be required in very dusty
environments which may clog the filter. Particulate debris becomes trapped in the replaceable filter and is removed from the system during routine
maintenance. Odor from debris in the filter may also be remedied by replacing the air filter.
NOTE
Replacement of the cabin air filter is considered a maintenance item and not covered under warranty.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 324
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1074
The table shows which vehicles were equipped with a cabin air filter during production and which vehicles may be equipped with filters after
production if desired.
NOTE
Corrections to TSB 03-97-002:
1. TSB does NOT indicate that the Santa Fe also changed to the two (2) piece cabin air filter on March 29, 2003 (with the XG and Sonata).
2. TSB incorrectly indicates two (2) pieces of part number 97619-3D000. The correct quantity is one (1) piece for XG, Sonata, and Santa Fe
built after March 29, 2003.
NOTE
1. The replacement procedures outlined in TSB 03-97-002 are still applicable for the XG, Sonata and Santa Fe.
2. The installation procedures for the Accent, Elantra, Tiburon and XG 350 can be found in the 2004 Owners Manuals in the "Do It
Yourself Maintenance" section. Separate TSBs will be published for earlier models. Access to the air filter in all cases is behind the glove
box and glove box housing.
3. The arrow on the cabin air filter must always point in the direction of air flow.

When activated, the EGR Valve directs a metered amount of exhaust gas into the intake manifold and thereby into the combustion chamber.
The addition of the inert exhaust gas (does not chemically react during the combustion process) reduces peak combustion temperatures.
Lower peak combustion temperatures result in lower heat-related emissions of Nitrous-Oxides (NOx).
Some engines do not require a separate EGR System. They achieve an EGR effect by valve overlap.

EGR is NOT activated when:
(1) EGR System photographs (The XG300 system is shown for illustration purposes. The systems in the Sonata I4 and Santa Fe I4 are very
similar.)
1. EGR Valve: This valve directly controls the flow of Exhaust Gases to the intake manifold. The EGR Valve is controlled by vacuum applied
to a diaphragm. When vacuum is applied, the diaphragm moves and opens a pintle valve.
2. Vacuum Control Valve: To prevent excessive vacuum in the system, this valve regulates the vacuum. When the vacuum is greater than
approximately 7 in-Hg (180 mm-Hg = 24 kPa = 3.5 psi), the Vacuum Control Valve opens to the atmosphere until the vacuum level
decreases to 7 in-Hg. Regulating vacuum in the system results in improved EGR control and drivability.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 332
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1082
3. EGR Solenoid Valve: The EGR Valve is controlled by the EGR Solenoid Valve which is normally an "open" valve. That is, when power is
NOT applied to the EGR Solenoid Valve, the valve is open (can blow through the valve). When the EGR Solenoid Valve is energized (via a
pulse-width signal from the ECM), the valve closes and allows the vacuum from the intake manifold to be applied to the EGR Valve (thus,
activating the EGR).
4. MAP Sensor: The MAP sensor is used to detect pressure (or vacuum) changes in the intake manifold. When the EGR system is tested by
activating the EGR under specific conditions (see the diagnostic logic in the next section), the MAP sensor signal change is what's used to
determine if the EGR system is working properly.
5. Vacuum T-Connector: This part allows the vacuum to bleed off through the EGR Solenoid Valve to the Air Intake side of the throttle body.
6. Throttle Body: The vacuum source and the Bleed-off back to the Air Intake side of the throttle plate is "plumbed" through the throttle body's
"E" Port (vacuum source) and the "A" Port (bleed-offside).
7. Green Hoses: The green striped hoses signify the "vacuum" side of the system.
8. Yellow Hoses: The yellow striped hoses signify the "bleed" side of the system.
9. In-Line Orifices: There are orifices in the system (three in the case of the XG300) to limit the "flow" in the system. Limiting the flow in the
system limits the volume of air bypassing the throttle plate.
10. ECM: By processing a variety of input signals, the ECM determines when to activate EGR.
EGR "OFF": Note that the EGR solenoid is "normally open" which allows the vacuum to "bleed off".
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 333
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1083
EGR "ON": The EGR solenoid is energized and the vacuum path back to the throttle body "A" port is cut off. Thus, the vacuum is APPLIED to the
EGR valve's diaphragm.
(1) PCM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Logic for P0401 (INSUFFICIENT EGR FLOW):
The PCM monitors the EGR system for proper function by conducting a test under the following conditions (this is also called EGR Monitoring):
^ Vehicle is decelerating
If the above conditions are met, the EGR Valve is closed for 1 second then is opened for about 1 second. During this later 1 second open period, the
MAP sensor signal is monitored.
The PCM, using the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor, measures the pressure change in the intake manifold during the above test. If the
pressure changes less than 26mm-Hg -- millimeters of Mercury (equivalent to 0.5 psi = 3.5 kPa = 1 in-Hg), then a problem is detected and code
P0401(INSUFFICIENT EGR FLOW) is set in the PCM.
After two consecutive trips of detecting the fault, the Check Engine Light is turned ON and the code & freeze frame data are available.
1. Visual Inspection:
^ Check that all hoses and the EGR Solenoid Connector are connected properly.
^ Check for cracks or cuts in the hoses. Gently bend the hoses to reveal any cuts that may be difficult to see.
^ Check the metal tubes and the EGR Solenoid body and tubes for any signs of cracks or damage.
b. Activate the EGR Valve by pinching off the yellow striped hose.
^ When the vacuum "bleed off" path is closed, the EGR Valve should open. This will cause the engine to stumble and stall.
^ IF cutting-off the vacuum bleed-path does NOT cause the engine to run rough and stall, THEN there is a leak or blockage in the
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 334
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1084
vacuum system.
^ Check for leaks or blockages by starting at the throttle body "E" Port. Pull off the vacuum hose at the "E" Port, vacuum should be
felt at the throttle body's "E" port tube.
^ Then, check each hose and metal tube (working from the "E" port towards the EGR Solenoid Valve). Check each pathway using a
vacuum pump with a built in gauge. Create about 7 in-Hg (23 kPa = 3.3 psi = 180 mm-Hg) of vacuum in each component/hose.
This small amount of vacuum is enough to fully open the EGR Valve.
^ Check the function of the Vacuum Control Valve. Remove the green striped hose at the throttle body and attach a vacuum pump.
Plug the other port of the Vacuum Control Valve. Apply a vacuum greater than 7 in Hg (23 kPa = 3.3 psi = 180 mm Hg). The
Vacuum Control Valve should regulate the vacuum down and hold vacuum at approximately 7 in Hg. If the vacuum does not hold,
the Vacuum Control Valve needs to be replaced.
^ Connect a vacuum pump/gauge to the EGR Valve. Apply 7 in Hg (23 kPa = 3.3 psi) of vacuum; the valve should open fully and the
vacuum should NOT bleed off. If the vacuum does not hold, then the EGR Valve needs to be replaced.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 335
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1085
^ Apply 1 in Hg (3.4 kPa = 0.5 psi) of vacuum directly to the EGR Valve; the valve should not open and air should not blow past the
pintle valve.
^ The EGR Solenoid Valve may be intermittently sticking closed when not energized. To test this condition, remove the EGR
Solenoid Valve and repeatedly apply and remove 12V power to the Solenoid. Using a vacuum pump/gauge, check if the EGR
Solenoid sticks in the closed position (vacuum is held when it should not be).
^ Conversely, the EGR Solenoid Valve may not be closing properly when energized. Apply 12V to the EGR Solenoid Valve. Attach
a vacuum pump/gauge and check if the valve is closed (holds vacuum). This condition may be intermittent and may require the test
to be conducted repeatedly to reproduce the "sticking open" condition. An alternative test is to energize the EGR solenoid while the
car is idling (apply 12V directly to solenoid). If the engine does not stumble and stall, then the EGR Solenoid is not closing
properly and needs to be replaced.
^ An intermittent "leak" in the vacuum system is another possibility. This condition can be caused by a cut vacuum hose, which only
leaks when flexed as a result of engine movement.
^ Check the EGR Valve's pintle for sticking, excessive carbon deposits, etc.
^ Then, the EGR Valve is being held open at idle, when it should not be.
^ This condition could be caused by an EGR Solenoid Valve which is sticking closed when NOT energized by the ECM. (Remember that
this valve is "normally open.")
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 336
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1086
^ This condition could also be caused by a blockage of the "bleed path." Check the yellow striped hoses for a blockage. Also check the
EGR Solenoid Valve's built-in orifice for blockage.
^ The ECM monitors the EGR electrical circuit for the presence of the proper EGR signal.
^ As can be seen, there is a voltage "surge" at the beginning of each pulse of the EGR signal. This surge voltage is monitored by the ECM.
^ If the surge voltage is less than [Vb (battery voltage) + 2V] -- typically totalling about 16 Volts --, then the electrical system is considered
to be malfunctioning and code P0403 is set in the ECM.
^ After two consecutive trips of detecting the fault, the Check Engine Light is turned ON and the code & freeze frame are available.
^ Check the integrity of the electrical system. Check that all electrical connectors (at the EGR Solenoid Valve and the ECM) are properly
connected and that all pins are in good condition.
^ Using GDS or the Hi-Scan Pro (in the oscilloscope mode), examine the EGR signal when the EGR is activated. (see the typical signal
above). The conditions when the EGR is operating are:
^ Vehicle is moving
^ Idle switch is not "on" (that is, there is some throttle input)

DISPOSAL/HANDLING OF PERCHLORATE CONTAINING MATERIALS - CALIFORNIA LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin clarifies dealer responsibilities under California law regarding the disposal requirements for perchlorate-containing materials of Title
22 of the California Code of Regulations Section 67384.10.
Perchlorate is a chemical that has been found to contaminate drinking water, ground water, surface water, and soil. In an effort to decrease the
amount of perchlorate released into the environment, California is regulating the disposal of materials containing per-chlorate such as airbags, seat
belt pre-tensioner initiators, TPMS valve sensors, and batteries for keyless entry systems.
Once an airbag or a seat belt pretensioner is deployed, the perchlorate is consumed in the burn process and is no longer regulated. The Department
of Toxic Substance Control has advised manufacturers that pursuant to section 67384.2(b)(6) deployed airbags and pretensioners are exempt from
the Perchlorate BMP (Best Management Practices) regulations. Thus, you can handle those items as you have handled them in the past.
In the event that you replace an undeployed airbag or pretensioner, you may use such parts during the training of dealer personnel on the
deployment procedure of those items. HMA recommends that dealers periodically demonstrate airbag and seat belt pretensioner deployment as part
of a dealer training program on how to properly deploy these components.
If airbags and seat belt pretensioners are not deployed prior to disposal, they are considered hazardous waste and you should follow the normal
procedures for the disposal of such materials in accordance with California hazardous waste regulations.
Hyundai also reminds you of a recent change in California law that waste batteries from keyless entry remote systems and TPMS valve sensors may
not be discarded in the trash. See California Universal Waste Rule, 22 CCR section 66273.13. Waste batteries must be taken to a local recycle
collection center. A center near you can be found at http://www.earth911.org. If you have any questions regarding your implementation obligations
under California law, please consult with the legal counsel you regularly consult with on waste issues.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
DESCRIPTION:
The automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) level must be checked during Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). Low ATF level may cause the following
driveability conditions:
^ Engine "flare" during the 2-3 shift (engine speed increases during the shift) at light throttle when the ATF is cold
^ Harsh or delayed shift during acceleration from a stop following a rapid deceleration
PROCEDURE:
1. Attach a Hi-Scan Pro or GDS and select "Automatic Transaxle" menu, "Current Data" menu and "Fluid Temperature".
2. Drive the vehicle until the ATF is at normal operating temperature above 75°C (167°F).
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 338
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1088
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. Start the engine and move the shift lever through each gear, then to "Neutral".
4. Check the ATF level on the dipstick. Add Hyundai SPIII until the level is within the "HOT" or "75C" range.
NOTE:
The 2008 Veracruz requires JWS 3309, Type T-IV ATF. Do not use SPIII.
NOTE:
The "COLD" range is only used for estimating ATF level. The ATF level can be accurately checked only if the ATF temperature is at
normal operating temperature above 75°C (167°F).
NOTE:
Use only Hyundai SPIII ATF, Diamond SPIII ATF or other brands meeting the SPIII specification approved by Hyundai Motor
Company.
NOTE:
SPIII has a red color when new; however, the ATF may change color to a dark red or brown after 10,000 to 25,000 miles in service. This
change is normal for this type of ATF and does not indicate an internal transaxle condition.
MAINTENANCE INTERVAL:
Refer to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manuals for maintenance requirements.

CLOUDED PAINT CORRECTIVE PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION:
Hyundai applies a Paint Protection Film (PPF) on new vehicles before delivery to dealerships. It provides a barrier between the paint and
contaminants such as rail dust, acid rain, and industrial fallout. In rare cases the paint can become clouded under the PPF. These spots are the result
of moisture trapped between the PPF and the paint.
2. Clean the vehicle. If the spots are still visible, use an infrared light, similar to the type used in a body shop, to heat the affected area. Most
infrared lights can be set up about 2 feet from the paint surface to achieve a hot surface temperature, depending on the heat output. Do not let
the paint temperature exceed 180°F. Be careful not to allow nearby trim to overheat (above 180°F).
3. Allow the infrared light to heat the vehicle for a minimum of 15 minutes, a maximum of 3 hours. Check the vehicle every 15 minutes to
ensure it is not overly hot. You should be able to briefly touch the heated area, but it should be uncomfortably hot.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Small spots can be removed with a heat gun. Hold the heat gun about 12-18 inches from the spot, keeping it moving. Do not let the paint
temperature exceed 180°F.
Heating for 10 to 15 minutes should remove the spot. If the spot persists after 15 minutes, switch to the procedure mentioned above.
Wiping the spot with undiluted alcohol will accelerate the drying. Wipe a rag with the alcohol across the area before heating. Do not apply
cool alcohol to a heated panel, or while heat is being applied.
CAUTION 1:
Use the proper precautions when using alcohol near a heat source.
CAUTION 2:
During heating, anti corrosive wax used on the back side of the metal panels may liquefy. Some may drain out of the drain holes.

TIRE AND WHEEL VIBRATION AND RADIAL FORCE VARIATION
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TSB # 06-50-013 TO INCLUDE 2008 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES.
NOTE:
Each wheel and tire assembly is precision balanced and force match mounted before the vehicle leaves the assembly line. Dealers should not
alter the dynamic balance of any wheel unless a customer describes experiencing a tire/wheel vibration condition.
DESCRIPTION:
A customer may describe a steering wheel vibration or "shimmy" condition in the vehicle. Sources of vibration/shimmy may be from the following
conditions:
RFV (Radial Force Variation) may be defined as the amount of change in stiffness of the sidewall and footprint when a load is placed against
a tire.
Wheel and tire assembly imbalance should be addressed first because it is the most common cause of vibration. A well maintained
off-vehicle, two-plane dynamic wheel balancer can accurately correct this condition.
If a vibration or shimmy is still present after an imbalance condition is corrected, any out-of-round condition of the wheel and force variation
of the tire must be addressed.
NOTE:
All of the above conditions may be addressed at the same time if equipment is available such as the Hunter GSP 9700, which is a
two-plane wheel balancer.
For proper diagnosis, it is important that the wheel run-out and tire assembly stiffness variations be measured and, if necessary, corrected
before replacing any component(s) on the vehicle.
COMMENT:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 348
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1098
To correct vehicle vibrations caused by wheel out-of-round and tire stiffness variations, access to a Hunter GSP 9700 or equivalent wheel
balancing machine is necessary. If you do not have access to such equipment, it may be located through the Hunter website
(www.gsp9700.com).
For information about the purchase of a Hunter GSP 9700 and Hyundai's special pricing, please visit website (http://hyundai.spx.com).
Follow the machine manufacturer's procedure to measure and correct wheel and tire assembly RFV related vehicle vibrations.
^ P-Metric SUV and Van wheel and tire assemblies = 24 - 27 lbs or less
NOTE:
This information is a guideline, and the RFV range accounts for machine variability.
If force match mounting the wheel and tire assembly to the above guideline cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to replace a wheel or tire
or both to correct the vibration condition (see note below before replacing any part). Since tires can sometimes become temporarily
flat-spotted, the RFV should be measured immediately after the vehicle is driven at least 10 miles. (If the RFV cannot be measured
immediately after the vehicle has been driven at least 10 miles, elevate the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels hanging to stop the tires from
flat-spotting). Tire pressure must also be adjusted to the recommended pressure shown on the driver's door or B-Pillar.
NOTE:
If the vehicle vibration condition cannot be improved to an acceptable level using the above procedure or a tire or wheel is required to be
replaced to correct this condition, contact the Hyundai Technical Assistance.
The dealer technician must provide the following information to the Technical Assistance Line:
2. VIN
3. Mileage
4. Tire size
5. Tire manufacturer

DIAGNOSIS AND CORRECTION OF VEHICLE PULL
DESCRIPTION:
Several factors may cause vehicle pull, both vehicle related and external conditions. The purpose of this bulletin is to assist in identifying the
vehicle related conditions that cause pull and how to correct those conditions.
Vehicle pull is the tendency of the vehicle to drift right or left while driving in a straight ahead direction on a straight road at a constant speed with
no pressure on the steering wheel. This pull or drift may be gradual and can always be compensated for by inputs through the steering wheel. One
or more of the following conditions may cause the vehicle to pull:
^ Cambered road surfaces - Most highways are built with cambered or "crowned" surfaces to drain rain water. Sometimes the road camber is
visually noticeable. Other times, it is not. The vehicle may tend to pull to the left or right, depending on the camber of the road surface.
^ Cross-winds - A sometimes overlooked, yet possible cause of steering drift is cross-winds. Side winds at higher vehicle speeds may cause
vehicle pull. Please do not rule out cross-winds when diagnosing a vehicle pull.
Vehicle pull caused by these two conditions is not related to vehicle adjustments and no repair should be made.
^ Tire inflation pressure - As small as a 2 pounds/square inch tire inflation pressure difference between the right and left tires may cause a vehicle
to pull. Be sure to check the tire pressure before the tires are warmed up prior to attempting more extensive diagnosis.
^ Wheel alignment - Slightly out of specification wheel alignment causes very few vehicles to pull. Therefore, if the vehicle wheel alignment has
been adjusted as close as possible to specification, DO NOT attempt to correct the vehicle pull by changing the wheel alignment angles by
bending suspension components or other non-approved methods.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 352
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1102
^ Uneven brake adjustment - If one of the four brakes is dragging, the vehicle may pull to the side of the dragging brake. Verify that none of the
brakes are dragging and that they are adjusted correctly prior to attempting more extensive diagnosis.
^ Incorrect vehicle trim height - If the trim height of the vehicle is not equal on all sides, the vehicle may pull to the side of the lower trim height.
Check and adjust the trim height of the vehicle as necessary. Please note that a slight variation in the vehicle trim height seldom causes a
noticeable vehicle pull.
^ Tire construction - The way in which the tire is built can produce vehicle pull. An example of this is the placement of the under tread belt. An
off-center radial tire belt can cause the tire to develop a side force while rolling straight down the road and the tire will tend to roll like a cone.
To correct this condition, please use the flow chart. This chart provides the sequence of procedures designed to be performed for all conditions
of vehicle pull.
^ Tire size - Different size tires or different make of tires, on either axles, may cause a vehicle pull.Technical Service Bulletin #

DESCRIPTION:
This TSB describes how to clean and maintain the aluminum wheels on Hyundai vehicles. The following information on wheel care may be given
to customers as needed. Hyundai has found that some vehicles equipped with wheels that have been coated with a vapor chrome finish have
exhibited surface damage from the use of harsh chemicals and improper cleaning procedures. Though these wheels have the appearance of chrome
plating, they have a painted surface similar to the exterior of the vehicle, therefore, the same care should be used when cleaning and maintaining.
1. Wash wheels when they are cool, in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
2. Wash wheels with a neutral detergent or an alkaline wash soap (car soap) using a soft cleaning sponge.
3. Rinse the soap off the wheel with water spray, then dry wheels using a 100% cotton terry cloth towel, chamois or a synthetic fabric designed for
automotive detailing.
4. Some automatic car washes may also cause damage to the vapor chrome finish.
5. Car wash chemical strength cleaners along, with brush agitation could damage the finish.

Subject: PROGRAMMING HOMELINK MIRROR TO GARAGE DOOR RECEIVERS WITH ROLLING CODE TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION:
Several Hyundai models come equipped with HomeLink rearview mirrors.
Programming the HomeLink mirror to operate a standard remote-controlled garage door opener requires that the owner have one of the original
hand-held remotes. In the case of "rolling code" receivers, access to the garage door receiver (usually located on the garage door motor housing) is
also required.
Most garage door openers manufactured after 1996 incorporate rolling code, or "anticode grabbing" technology. This technology uses a coding
algorithm that allows the transmitter to send a different authentication code each time the remote button is pressed, never repeating the same code
twice.
This bulletin provides programming instructions for rolling code garage door openers.
A copy of this bulletin should be made available to vehicle owners that are experiencing difficulty when programming their rolling code garage
door opener.
NOTE:
Some vehicles may require the vehicle ignition to be turned ON or to the ACC position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be installed in the hand held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for accurate transmission of
the radio frequency.
CAUTION:
Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent harm or
damage.
Your motorized garage door will open and close while you are programming HomeLink. Do not program HomeLink if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate. A moving garage door can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 359
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1109
Do not run the vehicle's engine while programming HomeLink. Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Exhaust gas can cause
serious injury or death. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop-and-reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.
PROCEDURE:
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20
seconds.
NOTE: Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink mirror, keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and the hand held transmitter button.
DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapid flashing indicates successful training and the procedure is
complete. This also indicates that the garage door opener does not use rolling code technology.
Note: The garage door may open or close during this step.
Steps 4 through 7 are only necessary if the HomeLink button appears to be transmitting after step 3, but the garage door does not operate.
4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a
rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. It is recommended that a ladder or similar device be used to
obtain access to the motor housing. Do not stand on the vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor housing) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near the hanging antenna wire
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, refer to the garage door opener's manual.
6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer).
NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the "press/hold/release"
sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process. If successful, your garage door should open or close during this step.
If the vehicle owner continues to have difficulty programming their HomeLink mirror, please have them contact HomeLink customer service
directly at 1-800-355-3515 or www.homelink.com for further assistance.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin augments currently available service information for the evaporative emissions system.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
^ All Hyundai models from 1996 Model Year to current, which are OBD-II compliant.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW:
The Evaporative (EVAP) Emissions System prevents the release of hydrocarbon (HC) vapors from the fuel system into the atmosphere.
Evaporated vapors from the fuel tank are collected in the charcoal canister, where the activated carbon surface captures and stores the vapors. Fuel
vapors passing over and through the activated carbon surface are absorbed and the remaining volume of fresh air vents through the normally-open
Canister Close Valve (CCV) and the vent system.
During an EVAP purge event commanded by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the normally-closed Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is
energized to open. As the PCSV opens, the intake manifold vacuum from the engine draws fresh air through the canister from the vent system while
the absorbed fuel vapors from the charcoal canister are metered into the engine as part of the combustible mixture.
During normal engine operation and when enabling criteria are met, EVAP self-diagnostics are performed by the PCM to check the system
function.
NOTE:
If any portion of the self-diagnostic test is executed and fails, then all further EVAP system checks are suspended. Each diagnostic test must run
and pass without failure before proceeding to the next series of tests.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 362
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1112
^ The first check performed is to confirm if the PCSV is closing completely or is leaking vacuum. Resulting DTC is P0441 (Purge Flow Incorrect).
^ If the system failed the above PCSV DTC P0441 test, then a supplemental diagnostic check will be performed which checks for P2422 (Vent
Path Restricted). This diagnostic is accomplished by opening the normally closed purge valve and monitoring the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
increase in vacuum. If the measured vacuum exceeds the threshold, then DTC P2422 is set to indicate a vent system restriction. (In some
systems, P0446 may set instead.)
^ The second check performed is the P0455 (Large Leak Detect). This diagnostic is accomplished by closing the normally-open canister close
valve (CCV) and opening the normally-closed purge valve while monitoring the fuel tank pressure sensor signal until -10 in H2O (vacuum) is
achieved. Once the FTPS achieves target vacuum, the PCSV is commanded "closed" and the vacuum decay is measured. If a leak in excess of a
0.100" hole is detected, then DTC P0455 is set.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 363
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1113
^ The third check performed is the P0442 (Small Leak Detect). This diagnostic follows the same process as the Large Leak Detect described
above, however, the threshold values are reduced. If a leak in excess of a 0.040" hole is detected, then DTC P0442 is set.
^ The fourth check performed is the P0456 (Very Small Leak Detect). This diagnostic follows the same process as the two Leak Detect checks
described above, however, the threshold values are the lowest. If a leak in excess of a 0.020" hole is detected, then DTC P0456 is set.
This code may set if the system detects vacuum leaking through the purge valve at idle.
P0455 (Large Leak), P0442 (Small Leak), P0456 (Very Small Leak)
There are multiple potential causes and a manual leak check may be required to determine the exact location of the detected physical leak (Refer to
TSB 02-30-001).
^ Check the fuel cap gasket and the fuel filler neck sealing interface. Check tightening click and removal effort of the fuel cap (there may be a
partial seal if removal effort is too light).
^ Check for loose connections at the interface of hoses, clamps, quick connectors, and O-rings. In addition, check for leaks at hoses, fuel pump top
plate, or canister.

Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1114
P2422 (Vent Valve Stuck Closed), P0446 (Vent Control Circuit Malfunction)
^ Foreign material in vent path (dirt, spider webs, kinked line). It may be required to remove both ends and use shop air or other methods to clear
the obstruction.
^ CCV (stuck closed) mechanically or CCV filter assembly is plugged with dirt, preventing airflow from atmosphere into and through the canister.
NOTE:
Under extreme conditions, such as driving on dusty roads, or unpaved roads for prolonged periods, the CCV filter will require more frequent
replacement during routine maintenance.

GR8 DIAGNOSTIC BATTERY TESTER/CHARGER TOOL & NEW BATTERY WARRANTY POLICY
DESCRIPTION:
The Midtronics GR8-1270 Diagnostic Battery Tester/Charger Assembly launches in August 2010 as a new Hyundai required tool. A new Hyundai
Battery Warranty Policy requires that GR8 be used for all battery warranty claims according to procedures outlined by the service procedure of this
bulletin. Claims based on the Midtronics MCR-570 handheld tester will no longer be accepted.
This bulletin describes how to use the GR8 for battery related warranty repair work. The GR8 is a state of the art tool that checks battery health,
then performs a reliable intelligent safe charge which can quickly restore some batteries to good condition. For example a dead battery that has not
been at a low state of charge for a long period, may be fully revived within 1.5 hours and not make replacement necessary.
1. Perform a quick test in the Battery Test mode. If the Battery Test mode provides a "Replace Battery result the battery can be replaced without
further steps.
2. If the Battery Test mode produces a "Charge and Retest result, you are then required to conduct a Diagnostic Charge that will determine
whether the battery is able to be brought to a "Good Battery condition by a full GR8 charge. If the initial diagnostic charge test finds that the
charge will not revive the battery it usually will indicate "Replace Battery on average within 20 minutes.
3. Should the battery pass the "Diagnostic Charge test, it will continue charging to full battery charge condition (which can take up to 1.5 hours)
and indicate "Good Battery" when completed successfully.
4. The GR8 produces printouts of the results in both the Battery Test and Diagnostic Charge modes. Both printouts must be attached to the
warranty repair order with proper VIN and RO number entered via GR8's keyboard.
NOTE:
This new Battery Warranty Policy requires you to always perform a Diagnostic Charge after a Battery Test result of "Charge and Retest".
CAUTION:
Either the small Battery Tester clamps or large Charger clamps can be connected to a battery at a time.
CAUTION:
NEVER connect both sets of small and large clamps to a battery as it can cause internal damage to the GR8 assembly!
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1. Press the power button on the GR8 if the Battery Tester unit is docked on the Charger unit. You should hear the fan come on in the Charger unit
and Tester unit display will light up.
2. Connect only the Battery Tester unit's small clamp set to the vehicle's battery making sure that the black clamp is connected to the battery
negative terminal and the red cable's clamp is connected to the battery positive "+ terminal. GR8 display will warn if you connected it
backwards.
NOTE:
For Genesis & Equus connect Battery Test or Charger clamps directly to the battery in the rear trunk, not to engine underhood jumper terminals.

4. Follow directions of this table based on result of Battery Test (first column). PRINT results at Battery Test and then after Diagnostic Charge:
Second Step - Diagnostic Charge if Battery Test result was "Charge and Retest":
5. Connect only the Charger unit's large clamp set to the vehicle's battery making sure that the black clamp is connected to the battery negative
terminal and the red clamp is connected to the battery positive "+" terminal. GR8 display will warn if you had connected it backwards.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 436
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1186
6. Perform following instructions showing the GR8 screens (as shown from left to right of each row) that will occur when a "Good Battery" is
reached after charging:
NOTE:
When the Diagnostic Charge results in "Good Battery" you must attach print tickets of the results from both Battery Test with the "Charge &
Retest" result and the Diagnostic Charge "Good Battery" result per example of "Print Ticket # B".
7. This is what will occur for GR8 screen when "Replace Battery" results after a Diagnostic Charge attempt:
NOTE:
When the Diagnostic Charge results in "Replace Battery" you may in this circumstance be permitted to claim Op Code 37110A00 for the
Charge Battery attempt and also Op Code 37110R00 for Replace Battery. However you must attach print tickets from both Battery Test with the
"Charge & Retest" result and Diagnostic Charge result showing "Replace Battery" as per example of "Print Ticket # C".

TESTING FUEL QUALITY TO DIAGNOSE ENGINE
STARTABILITY / HESITATION / DRIVEABILITY ISSUES
DESCRIPTION:
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 440
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1190
This bulletin outlines the basic components of the BG Fuel Test Kit and the procedure to test the quality of the fuel during vehicle diagnosis.
Poor fuel quality may lead to cold engine startability issues, hesitation at idle or during acceleration, and/or poor driveability. In addition, prolonged
vehicle operation with poor quality fuel may result in damage to the fuel system and formation of engine deposits.
The BG Fuel Test Kit can be used to determine the following aspects of the fuel:
^ Specific Gravity
^ Alcohol Content
APPLICABLE VEHICLES:
PARTS INFORMATION:
The BG Fuel Test Kit (P/N J-48983) is the approved fuel quality testing tool to be used during vehicle diagnosis. This kit is an essential tool that
has been sent to all dealers and is part of the new dealer kit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the diesel hydrometer with specific gravity range from 0.800 to 0.900.
Use only the gasoline hydrometer with specific gravity range from 0.700 to 0.800 for the correct measurement of the fuel to be tested.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
Be sure that the inside of the cylinder is clean and free of contaminants.
2. Obtain sample fuel from the incident vehicle and fill the graduated cylinder to the 100ml mark.
NOTE:
There are several different methods available to gather a small quantity of fuel for testing. Follow the applicable Shop Manual procedures and
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 442
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1192
precautions as required to perform any ONE of the following, as feasible.
^ For older MPI fuel systems equipped with a fuel return line, divert the fuel return hose to capture the fuel into a suitable container while
running the engine at idle.
^ For MPI fuel systems that are returnless design, divert the fuel line from the fuel rail to capture the fuel into a container. For additional fuel
amount, briefly prime the fuel pump by cycling the ignition key. (Do not perform this option for GDI engines.)
^ For GDI and MPI systems, lift the vehicle and disconnect the large fuel hose of the fuel filler neck from the fuel tank inlet. Using a long
socket extension, lightly push open the inlet check valve at the inlet of the tank and capture the sample fuel.
^ For GDI and MPI systems, remove the main fuel pump and sender module from the fuel tank to collect the fuel sample through the service
access port, if possible. If equipped, removing the remote fuel sender module may be easier for this task. Avoid fuel spillage.
3. Visually inspect the collected fuel sample for presence of sediment, debris, or water contamination. (Example shown at right. Replace fuel if
contamination is found.)
4. Insert the thermometer into the graduated cylinder and attach the clip to the top rim.
5. Wait a few minutes to allow for the temperature to stabilize, then record the measured temperature of the gasoline sample. Remove the
thermometer afterwards.
6. Insert the gasoline hydrometer with specific gravity range from 0.700 to 0.800 into the graduated cylinder and wait until it stabilizes while
floating in the fuel.
7. Read the number at the liquid line on the side of the hydrometer.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 443
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1193
8. Refer to the supplied reference chart to look up the measured temperature and the hydrometer reading to find the corresponding specific gravity.
(Examples shown)
NOTE:
The fuel tanks of vehicles having contaminated fuel or fuel outside the NORMAL specific gravity range should be drained and refilled.
9. Prepare the small graduated cylinder for fuel alcohol content testing.
NOTE:
Be sure that the inside of the cylinder is clean and free of contaminants.
1998 Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L Copyright © 2011, ALLDATA 10.40 Page 444
Hyundai Sonata L4-2.0L 1194
10. With the stopper cap removed, add clean water up to the (A) water fill line.
11. Add fuel from the tall graduated cylinder to the (B) fuel fill line.
12. Insert the stopper cap at the top to seal it and vigorously shake the contents for at least 10 seconds or more.
NOTE:
At this point, any alcohol of the sample will combine with water and begin to separate from the fuel.
14. Read the line where it separates and find the corresponding (D) alcohol % level of the fuel sample.
NOTE:
High alcohol content in the fuel can cause lean codes and other engine startability and driveability conditions.
15. After completing the fuel tests, prepare the Fuel Test Kit for storage.
^ Rinse all pieces with window cleaner and water, then towel dry thoroughly.
^ Arrange all the components so that they are protected by the clamshell storage case.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
When necessary, the use of the BG Fuel Test Kit as a part of the normal diagnostic troubleshooting process may be covered under warranty.
However, if the root cause of the condition results from poor fuel quality, then some or all parts and labor expenses may not be covered under
warranty.
