What is the Problem if Engine Hard to Start in Morning.?
How to check of this problem?

Model: Hyundai Sonata (FL).

Year Model: 2010

Fuel: Gasoline

Displacement: 2400cc

Subject: Engine Hard starting especially in the morning.

1) Condition

1. Engine hard starting in morning, at the same time after driving the car and park after a few minute try to start it cannot start immediately.

2) Cause

1. immobilizer key.

3) Diagnosis

1. Scan tool check
   Trouble Code.
   a) P1693 – Immobilizer Transponder.
   
   Almost all Hyundai model are built in with anti theft gadget that what we call immobilizer system. consist of ECM, the SMARTRA3 and the ignition keys with built in transponder.
      The ECM carries out the check of ignition key by especial encryption algorithm with SMARTRA3 and transponder. the encryption algorithm (between ECM and SMARTRA3) is used one offered from Bosch. the encryption algorithm (between ECM and Transponder) is Hitag2 type witch is high level.when ignition ON, the ECM executes the key authentication. The engine can be started in case of the success in SMARTRA3 and key Authentication.
      The Key teaching procedure start with ECM request of pin from scanner. The ‘virgin’ ECM stores the pin and the key learning can be started. the '”learnt” ECM compares the PIN from tester with the vehicle password in transponder. If the data is correct, the learning can be started. Scanner request the learning of the first key, the SMARTRA3 is registered at first and then first key is registered by ECM. If the SMARTRA3 status is learnt and pin number is different , the SMARTRA3 will return the incorrect pin data to the ECM. in this case, the ECM can’t execute the key learning process.
2. Observation the key indicator from control takes a second to appear this abnormal. the normal is takes 3 second only.
3. Check and reprogram with new key.
4. The indicator normalize = Ok

4) Replace Parts

Fuel: Gasoline
Displacement: 3300cc
1) Condition

1. Esp/Airbag warning light is “On” when driving.

2) Cause

1. Internal fault of steering angle sensor.

3) Diagnosis

1. Scan tool check.
   = Trouble code ( C1260 – Steering Angle Sensor Signal.
   =General Description.
   =The steering angle sensor (SAS) joined to the multifunction switch and using a CAN communication.The SAS is composed of main gear,serve gear 1 and serve gear 2 to determine the turning direction. If main gear is rotated according to the rotation of the steering wheel gear serve 1 serve gear 2, which is contact with main gear, will be rotated.
   =The HECU detects the absolute angle by using magnetic MR effects and the different gear ratio of each serve gear and then send to the  CAN communication line.
   =The HECU detects the steering wheel’s operating wheel speed and operating wheel angle by using absolute angle , and this signal is used as input signal of anti-roll control.
   = If the SAS signal is different from calculated value by Yaw-rate sensor and wheel speed sensor,mechanically impossible  SAS signal is detected , there is a different between SAS signal and driving condition of the vehicle calculated from the Yaw-rate sensor and later G-sensor , a failure is detected.
2. Possible cause.Short of steering angle sensor,Faulty steering angle sensor,Faulty HECU.
3. Current data monitoring
   Steering angle sensor ( 0 ) degrees always.
4. Replace Steering angle sensor. then calibrate with GDS or G-Scan.

How to check ECTS (Engine coolant temperature sensor).

Hyundai coolant temperature sensor is also one of the most important in you car today, it control fuel and serve as switch for cooling system.

How to check ECTS( Engine coolant temperature sensor)

The engine coolant water temperature sensor is located in the engine coolant passage of the cylinder head. it detects the water temperature and relay signal to the ECU. it employs a thermistor, which i sensitive to changes in temperature. The electric resistance of a thermistor decreases in response to temperature  rise. The ECU judges engine coolant temperature by the sensor output voltage and provides optimum fuel enrichment when the engine is cold.

 Troubleshooting Hints

When idling speed is not appropriate or blacksmoke arises it is likely to be a defect of water temperature sensor.

Wiring harness inspection     

Refer to P0117, P0118

How Air Flow Sensor Works?

Learn how to does air flow sensor works in your car, Its really really help full to every one who have car even you have no idea about technical but reading and reading a booklet about it someday you can tell ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah its easy. all car especially electronic today built in a airflow sensor.

How air flow sensor works and how to check it?

Air flow sensor (AFS)

MAF uses the features of sensor heater, after HOT FILM units calculate the intake air quantity, then send the signal to ECU. ECU decides the fuel quantity and ignition timing, and recognizes up hills and helps fuel quantity and over run air conditioner compensation , idle speed actuator MAF might be combined to measure the intake air temperature.

HOT FILM AFS OUTPUT FEATURES

Mass air flow (kg/h)                                                   Output voltage(V)
            10                                                                        1.2226~1.2398

          640                                                                        4.5667~4.6469

TROUBLE SHOOTING HINT

1. When ignition switch is turned on, if AFS output voltage is not 0(Engine stops), inspect the malfunction of AFS and ECU.
2. Even though AFS output voltage is abnormal, if engine is at idle, inspect the following condition.  
   1) Heck the poor attachment of airflow, cut the air duct, and air cleaner filter branched from AFS.
   2) Bad combustion in the cylinder or fault injector.
3. Even if no AFS malfunction occurs , check the mounting direction of AFS.
   
   Note:
   = Use correct voltmeter.
   = Before inspection, warming up the engine till the engine coolant temperature is up to 80 ~90*c

According to the Hyundai H1 Gasoline This a continuation of teaching.

Condition	Probable Cause	Remedy
Fuel pressure too low	=Clogged fuel filter =Fuel leakage to the return side, Cause by poor steering of the fuel steering of the pressure regulator =Low discharge pressure of the fuel pump	=Replace fuel filter =Replace fuel pressure regulator. = Check the in-tank fuel hose for leakage or replace the fuel pump.
Fuel pressure too high	= Sticking fuel pressure regulator. = Clogging or bent fuel return hose return hose or pipe.	= Replacefuel pressuire regulator. = Repair or replace hose or pipe.
There is no difference in fuel pressure when the vacuum hose is connected and when it is not.	= Clogged or damage vacuum hose or nipple = Sticking or poor seating of the fuel pressure regulator.	= Replace injector = Replace fuel pump.

10  Stop the engine and check the for a change in the fuel pressure gauge reading, which should hold for approximately 5 minutes. If the gauge indicator drops, observe the rates at which its drops.Determine and remove the caused according to the following table.

Condition	Probable Cause	Remedy
Fuel pressure drops slowly after engine is stopped.	injector leakage	Replace injector
Fuel pressure drops immediately after engine is stopped	the check valve within the fuel pump is open	Replace fuel pump.

11   Reduce the pressure in the fuel pump.

12   Disconnect the hose and gauge.

Caution
Cover the hose with the shop towel to prevent aplashing of fuel caused by fuel residual pressure in the fuel line.
