20 Most Recent 2006 Hyundai Accent - Page 8 Questions & Answers

No one could tell me what was wrong with my 2006 hyundai . Why the check engine light kept being on. Autozone, Napa, Advance auto, their FREE diagnostic machine could not figure the problem.It kept reading p0012 and they didn't know what exactly that meant so... I had to give in and take it to the hyundai dealership and pay$99 for a real diagnostic test. That's when I was told it was my oil control valve and the problem got fixed, no more headache!

No check engine light means there is something wrong with engine, get it checked. Your Dad is also right but that light is "Service" light or specific part light like in toyota the clutch change light appears after some defined kilometers and it has to be reset after clutch change (it does not go off itself as there is no feature to detect new clutch etc).

I hope this engine is the same for you,if not let me know the engine code.

Open your glove box then undo the little tie straps holding up your glove box. Once it falls down further, the door to your cabin filter is exposed. Just pinch the ends on either side of the narrow door, and you should be able to pop it off, then just slide the filter out.
Reverse procedure to put everything back together. Good luck!

More likely the switch striker on door is broken, unplugged, out of adjustment, or corroded--check those 4 things--then check if wire from front door post to door isn't broken--you have to open the harnass & first find the correct wire To fix it.

If you are referring to the timing belt, it should be replaced every 75-80k miles.

If you are referring to the serpentine belt, they should be inspected every oil change, look for cracks on the inside of the belt, this will indicate the belt is worn and needs replacing.

You need to lubricate your hood latch assembly. WD-40 works well for this. Spray some on and work the latch back and forth a few times with a screwdriver blade. Spray a little more on, and close the hood and see if it opens any better. You may have to repeat a couple times to get good results.

All in all ... not all that unusual. Get spray, white, lithium grease and lube the hood (ops ... bonnet) catch mechanism.and spray some liquid lubricant on the operating cable.

I think this will help you a lot if not eliminate the problem all together.

it is inside the fuel tank

I have a 2006 Accent and also to me sometimes the eps light turn on while I'm driving. I turn off the car and wait few seconds before to turn on again. But how to repair this problem?

most likely u have a bad starter.

If its on solid, you need to scan it soon. If its flashing it means its urgent & u need to pull over & turn off the engine!

Read your owners manual on how to re-set the alarm off as when you locked the doors you have used the remote key and used regular key to open the door. As you alarm system a bit different than the one I have, you may have to press different remote button sequence to re-set the alarm and get the immobiliser re-set to off. Normally the engine should re-start after 15 minutes rest between tries with alarm re-settingsequence.

The way mine works, I have to turn on and off the ignition without starting engine then after 3 turns it should chirp then I would turn it fully to start the engine.

Do the blinkers work? If the same bulbs work as brake lights also work as blinkers, the wires for them are routed through the turn signal switch. If that switch is bad, you won't have brake lights.
