Hi elantra owners,

I just encounter steering lock on my elantra, started my engine, but EPS and ESP light remains ON, No power supplied to MDPS. thus unable to move steering wheel. Call hyundai service, service rep came and diagnose error as "steering angle sensor" problems. He tried many times re-start the car but unable to reset the fault.

He unplug and plug in all connectors under dash, and the fault goes away.

I have known a few cases reported in US, and the solutions is to change steering columms.

Any guys encounter before?

I have contacted Hyundai, and they are waiting response from KL HQ.


Thanks

Thanks Wei,

Does that owner feel any steering lock? or just some noise? Did it resolved after changing ESC module?

As for steering angle sensor (SAS), it is embeded in the steering columm, from what I know, need to change out whole steering columm as one unit.

Thanks Wei for the clearification on my behalf.

The steering will loose power within 2 seconds when engine is switch off, and further locked when the drivers door is open(there a buzzing sound when opening the driver's door).

I have no past issue before, and this the first time it happened. Car is going to be one year old this coming May 15. Hope Sime Darby may have some solutions to it.....

Any guys of friends know about this issue?

Hi guys,

Car already send into hyundai (plentong branch) to resolve steering no power issue. After much attempt by them, they finally say have to change the whole steering collum.

Now car have to stay overnight, while waiting parts from KL to come down.

Will update again....

On a side note...Please go directly to Hyundai Branch and not dealers, as they have much better diagnostic equiptment compare to those 3S dealers.

Updates of steering lock up issue...

The Multifuse inside the engine bay FUSE BOX compartment is the culprit. It seems there is a crack at the fuse join for the 80A MDPS fuse.

Hi All Elantra owners,

May I know how long your maintenance free battery last?

Those who already change new car battery, is it by SC advise or you unable to start ur car? Any telltale signs before kaput?

Trying to gauge the lifetime of Elantra's battery. My car already 1year plus...



Thanks

My rattling noise came from behind the front passenger glove compartment. (where's yours?)

If you are DIYier, crawl underneath the dash at the front passenger seat, locate the "SMART KEY Unit". See whether the unit is hitting the back of the glove compartment's hinge. My rattling sound is from there. I place some 3M foam tape between them.

Hi Guys,

When we arm/disarm our car, there is only signal lamps to tell us. No buzzer or short beeps to tell us.

Can it be enable thru the BCM of our vehicle? I think it can be done right, with help from Hyundai centres?

Am i Wrong?

Thanks...

Do it before 31 Jan, there is on going discount for certain parts(15%) and labour(10%)....
