2010 Hyundai Santa Fe what cause the alternator not to charge?
Hi Joe
It is sort of a guess, but your headlights are powered from the battery and cause a drain when on, so the regulator provides extra volts to compensate the battery charge being depleted.
Except your question heading says 'not to charge'. The question body says 'why the alternator is charging when I turn the headlights on'? Should that be 'why the alternator is NOT charging when I turn the headlights on? If that is the case, you need an auto electrician.
Hyundai Atos 2000 one of the front wipers not working.
Try this test. With the key OUT of the ignition stand outside the vehicle, reach out and try to move the broken wiper blade by hand. Does it move with no resistance? Does it feel like 'clicking' as you move it? Does the other wiperblade move slightly as you move it or does it not move at all?
This will help work out if it is the wiper arm slipping on it's drive spindle or if the problem is deeper down underneath in the rods and arms moving the wiperblades. Please comment below with this information and I'll try to help you more.
2011 Hyundai Elantra 1.8L New engine but car doesn't move
It sounds like the issue with your 2011 Hyundai Elantra might be related to the output shaft speed sensor, especially since you're getting a P0722 error code. This sensor is crucial for the transmission's ability to shift gears correctly. Since the transmission was working fine before the engine replacement, it's possible that a connection to the sensor may have been disrupted during the process. I would suggest double-checking the sensor's connection and wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections. Also, ensure that there's no physical damage to the sensor itself. If everything seems intact, it might be a good idea to have the sensor tested or replaced.
2003 Hyundai Elantra GL. I have a P1140 code, I changed the MAF sensor twice it's not the problem, engine light keeps coming on. Any help would be appreciated.
The P1140 code in a Hyundai refers to the Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve. This valve is part of the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and is responsible for controlling the timing of the intake valves to optimize engine performance.
If you've already replaced the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the issue persists, here are some additional steps you can take to address the P1140 code:
1. **Inspect the Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve:**
Check the wiring and connectors associated with the Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve. Ensure there are no loose or damaged connections. If the wiring appears damaged or there's a poor connection, repair or replace as needed.
2. **Check Oil Levels and Quality:**
The VVT system relies on proper oil flow and pressure. Ensure that the engine oil level is correct and that you are using the recommended oil viscosity. Dirty or low-quality oil can affect the proper functioning of the system.
3. **Test the Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve:**
You may need to test the solenoid valve to ensure it is functioning correctly. This involves using a multimeter to measure resistance and checking for proper operation. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific testing procedures.
4. **Verify Timing Chain/Belt:**
Issues with the timing chain or belt can affect the VVT system. Check the condition and tension of the timing chain or belt. If it's worn, stretched, or damaged, it may need replacement.
5. **Scan for Additional Codes:**
Perform a comprehensive OBD-II scan to check for any additional trouble codes. Sometimes, addressing related codes can help in diagnosing the root cause of the issue.
6. **Professional Diagnosis:**
If you're unable to identify and resolve the issue through the above steps, consider seeking professional help. A qualified mechanic or Hyundai dealership may have specialized diagnostic tools and expertise to pinpoint the problem.
Remember, the VVT system is a complex part of the engine, and addressing issues with it may require a systematic diagnostic approach. If you're not comfortable performing these steps or if the problem persists, seeking professional assistance is advisable. They can perform more in-depth diagnostics and provide a precise solution based on the specific conditions of your Hyundai Elantra GL.
2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. I went through a puddle and now it won't start.
Your vehicle should not stop when it goes through a puddle. Did someone take off the underbody engine skirt? That protects the engine from splashes.
The drag when starting sounds like the battery needs charging. If the voltage drops to 11 volts whilst cranking there is not enough power for the electronic fuel injection. If you have a battery charger, charge the battery in the car for 8 hours, don't remove it or you will have other things to deal with like car radio code and resetting the security and engine immobilizer. If that doesn't work, you need an auto -electrician with a Pro Grade Scan Tool computer. It will diagnose in 30 minutes!

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe has no spark.
Are there any warning lights on the dashboard? Did you get the new ECM programmed to the vehicle? The ECM needs to be coded to your car so it knows which systems are fitted to your vehicle. Have you plugged it into an OBD diagnostic to check for trouble codes?
