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

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.

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
            15                                                                        1.3552~1.3778
            30                                                                        1.6783~1.7146
            60                                                                        2.1619~2.2057
          120                                                                        2.7215~2.7762
          250                                                                        3.4388~3.5037
          370                                                                        3.8796~3.9511
          480                                                                        4.1945~4.2683
          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
