Hyundai Sonata: Troubleshooting

Hyundai Sonata YF 2011-2014 Service Manual / Brake System / ESC(Electronic Stability Control) System / Troubleshooting

Failure Diagnosis

1.	In principle, ESC and TCS controls are prohibited in case of ABS failure.

2.	When ESC or TCS fails, only the failed system control is prohibited.

3.	However, when the solenoid valve relay should be turned off in case of ESC failure, refer to the ABS fail-safe.

4.	Information on ABS fail-safe is identical to the fail-safe in systems where ESC is not installed.

Memory of Fail Code

1.	It keeps the code as far as the backup lamp power is connected. (O)

2.	It keeps the code as long as the HCU power is on. (X)

Failure Checkup

1.	Initial checkup is performed immediately after the HECU power on.

2.	Valve relay checkup is performed immediately after the IG2 ON.

3.	It executes the checkup all the time while the IG2 power is on.

Countermeasures In Fail

1.	Shut the system down and perform the following actions and wait for HECU power OFF.

2.	Turn the valve relay off.

3.	Do not perform any ABS/TCS/ESC functions until normal operating condition is restored.

Warning Lamp On

1.	ABS warning lamp turns on when ABS is malfunctioning.

2.	ESC Function/Warning lamp turns on when ESC is malfunctioning.

When power voltage and valve relay voltage are abnormal, input/output related failure judgment is not made.

Standard Flow of Diagnostic Troubleshooting

Notes With Regard To Diagnosis

The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.

Condition

Explanation

System check sound

When starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming
from inside the engine compartment. This is because the system operation
check is being performed.

ABS operation sound

1.	Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation (whine).

2.	Sound is generated along with vibration of the brake pedal (scraping).

3.	When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated brake application and release (Thump : suspension; squeak: tires)

ABS operation (Long braking distance)

For road surfaces such as snow-covered and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed.

Diagnosis detection conditions can vary depending on the diagnosis code. When checking the trouble symptom after
the diagnosis code has been erased, ensure that the requirements listed in "Comment" are met.

Detecting condition

Trouble Symptoms

Possible Cause

If the HECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning lamp while at the
same time prohibiting ABS control. At this time, the HECU records a
DTC in memory. Even though the normal code is output, the ABS
warning lamp remains ON, then the cause may be probably an open
or short in the ABS warning lamp circuit.

-	An open in the wire
