2007 Hyundai Accent GS Hatchback - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Your owner's manual contains a section for maintenance & safety checks. Depending on your vehicle's maintenance history, you may not have to change any fluids at this time. As a rule of thumb, every 30,000 miles you should change trans fluid/lube and cooling system flush every 2 years. Brake & power steering fluid need only be checked for minimum level and inspect system components if fluid levels are below minimum.

My rear hatch releases while the car is in motion. Checked it to make sure it is secure when closed before driving but the problem persists.???

if you had the original code you were able to change the code to your own,so if someone has changed the code,your fu....either repair or replace with a decent unit.(repairs cost more than a new unit.)

The main thing to check is to verify the operation of the VCT solenoid. You're looking for a sticking or stuck VCt solenoid valve caused by contamination. Refer to vehicle specific repair manual to perform component tests for the VCT unit. Notes: Dealer techs have advanced tools and the ability to follow detailed troubleshooting steps, including the ability to test components using a scan tool.

dear,

firstly make all the bulbs glow in the indicator segment.
this will moderate the flasher speed as due to even one bulb fused, causes other bulbs to glow at high rate.

thanx

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. There are many things that can cause your check engine light to come on. When it does come on, this means the computer has detected a problem with the vehicle. Every car has this system. Anytime it is on, you can usually get a code number off the computer scan. The hookup is under the dash in most cars. You can buy a cheap one for around 50 dollars at most auto part stores. If you do buy one, you may need to find what each code means. If you don't own one or you can't get to one, you can take it to Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts to get your vehicle scanned. Most places do not charge for the scan. Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts do not charge when your check engine light is on. They will be able to scan it for you and give you the codes. They will let you know what it says and what parts you will need as well. if you ask. If your check engine light is flashing, this means there may be internal engine failure. If this is your case, get it scanned as soon as possible. The longer you go with the light on, the greater the chance you have to make the problem worse. Some of the newer vehicles has this system already built in. You will need to know sequence though, to make the code appear

Look under the bumper, you should find the light bulbs in a harness. To release them, twist the bulbs until the are unlocked from the harness. Pull the bulb out and replace it.

Every 3000 miles for conventional oilEvery 5000 miles for synthetic oilOr every three months or so if you don't drive that much

Hello Dan.

You did not mention whether you have a manual or auto trans.
There are two relays. One start relay and and one anti theft relay (if equipped).
If yours is auto equipped the switch is mounted where the shift cable is attached to the transmission.

I do however suspect you have the manual transmission as there is a service bulletin for a no crank problem. Here is the bulletin.

Hi, The 2007 Hyundai Accent is under a recall for the brake light switch since it has a tendency to fail. The brake light switch is high up on the brake pedal and it has a plunger on it. The plunger releases when you step on the brake pedal and retracts when you release the pedal. Recall Information can be found at: http://www.internetautoguide.com/10-12-2007-33-267/2007-hyundai-accent-recalls.html

Please remember to rate this solution. Thanks and Good Luck!

The evap solenoid is on the charcoal canister in the fuel evap system, The no start problem can be resolved by replacing the Purge Control Valve, Hyundai p/n 28910-22040. These are warranty items. The O2 sensor trouble code was probably from the over rich fuel mixture caused by the other problems. Wait til after the other items are fixed and then watch for the O2 sensor trouble code to reappear.

check for bad brakelight switch on the brake pedal under the dash,but on the brake pedal rod,will be a switch that has a pluger that pops out when you apply the brakes,check to see if it's plugged in. other than that,just replace the entire switch,yhey do go bad often enough.

The GS is equipped much like the GLS sedan, with some equipment deleted for a base ... trim level has been introduced for the Accent with a base price of only US$9970. The Accent Blue is only available as a 3-door hatchback with a manual

No it will wipe out the valves.. usually all of the exhaust valves. Here is the interval for changing the timing belt on your Hyundai..
"Normal service replace every 60,000 miles or 48 months. Severe service replace every 40,000 miles or 48 months."

timing belt bad

SP-III synthetic fluid -- Dealer item only - it's expensive - Anything else may void warranty

their under the plastic cover on top of the engine ,and you will need a 16mm plug socket with a long extension to reach them

Most manufactures recommend changing the Timing belt at around 60,000 miles / 100,000 Km or 7 years, whichever comes first. They have been known to last a lot longer than that but it is cheaper to have it replaced than to risk critical and expensive engine damage if it breaks.

Hyundai recommend a flush every 2 years,i personally find that if i run my car with a 50/50 mix,then i only flush at 4 years.....but i do check the specific gravity every year....and obviously look for oil in system as a service item.
As a matter of interest VW flush is every 4 years......

Hi, if everything works and the alternator has been replaced as you said and the problem still persist, then check the crankshaft position sensor........
