Data Trouble Code Retrieval for Alpha Engines

With the increasing rate of people wanting to know the process of carrying out their own "code checking" precoedures, I have developed an article which will tell you step by step, what to do when trying to eliminate problems, using the on board diagnostic system.

Data Link connectors:

Accent 95-99 - above the right most switch panel
Accent 00-Current - below the lower dash shroud
Getz - below the lower dash shroud

Data Link connector configuration:



Data Trouble Code Retrieval (using M alfunction I ndicator L amp):

1. Ignition switch on (do not start)
2. Ground the L-wire (bridge No. 15 pin and No. 4 pin) in the Data Link Connector for 2.5-7 seconds.
3. If there is no fault, code "4444" will be indicated.
4. Each code is repeated infinitely until the next step is ordered.
5. To order the next code to apper, you are required to ground the L-wire again for 2.5-7seconds, after that the next code follows.
The last output consists of the code for end of "code output" which is "3333". After grounding the L-wire again for 2.5-7 seconds, the diagnostic mode is left.

Remember: There will always be four digits in each code output.

Code List is as follows:

1.3L SOHC TYPE 1

Remember: These are only guidelines to aid you in your diagnosis. They will not provide a definite answer as to what component you should replace, but moreso, identify in which area you are experiencing problems.
I will personally hold no responsibility for any failures that may occur to user carelessness!

Actuation Test

There is also an actuation test which can be carried out in order for you to determine whether your actuators are operating correctly.

Actuator Control Sequence Procedure

1. The L-wire (No. 15 pin) in the data link connector has to be grounded before turning the ignition key on (DO NOT START).
2. Turn the ignition key on (DO NOT START) and then disconnect the grounded wire from pin No. 15, then the actuator activation sequence will begin, starting from the fuel pump relay.

NOTE: Each actuator will be stopped after activating 6 times

3. Once the actuator has activated 6 times, you will then be required to ground the No. 15 pin again to follow on to the next actuator in the sequence, which will be listed below:
Test Item__________________Fault Code
1. Evap can. purge valve solenoid_______________1322
2. ISC vAlve solenoid_________________________1321
3. No. 2 injector _____________________________1315
4. No. 3 injector _____________________________1314
5. No. 4 injector _____________________________1313
6. No. 1 injector _____________________________1312

4. If the actuator responds normally, code "4444" (No Fault Code) will be indicated by the MIL.
If there is any faults, the relevant trouble code will be displayed via the MIL.

I have a 96 accent 1.5l and want to install a tach. I hooked it up to the coil but wont rev over 3000 and thats even putting it to the floor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I only have heat on the highest setting other 3 don't work. So i changed the heater switch and it still doesn't work so i was told it was the resistor.

And to be honest that was a pain in the butt.

So if you know where the blower motor is at please let me know.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hi All,

I have a '97 Accent ( Excel in Australia ) It has started behaving strangely and hesitating and missing at low revs under load. I have recently a few months ago replaced the spark plugs so it is not that. I did the ecu Data Trouble code thing on it and it gives just one error 4154 - Air/Fuel ratio this could mean anything so I was wondering of anyone had seen a similar thing to this and could give me any suggestions on what might be causing the issue?

Cheers

Chris

I have a 1.5 with a 5 sp. I have a catback and cai. I stripped the interior and was wondering if there are any performance upgrades or should I just do a 2.0 swap? I just put in a new clutch so I wanna keep the tranny. Its a lot quicker with no interior but not no 13 second car

My battery died after leaving the lights and after trying to jump start i had the battery tested and it no longer worked. I just put the new one in and the emergency lights flicker and a red light next to the steering wheel flickers too and you can hear a clicking sound inside the car. After putting in the key lights and radio work fine but the lights wont stop flickering and clicking won't stop and the car won't start.

Hi,

I have recently brought a second hand 97 Accent Mvi 1.5. I had to have three tryes replaced, initially everything was fine, but now there is a loud clunking noise coming from what appears to be the rear wheel on the passenger’s side. The car has always felt quite bumpy but I thought nothing of it, now with this clunking noise I am worried. Any ideas on this would be very much appreciated.

Do companies custom tail lights for the accent 99?? I've been looking but I didn't find any. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is it true that the 1G Accents are prone to dashboard cracking. Where I live (South Africa) I have seen a few Accents with cracks and have been told its a factory problem. Does this happen in other parts of the world too.

A crack appeared in my dashboard now. I can't complain though because I got the car for next to nothing. Is there anything I can do to fix this?? Do they do after market Dashboards.

hey I know this is a really simple question but i was thinking of getting some new speakers for my 1998 accent and was wondering about the speaker grills. I tried to just pull them off and they seemed really on there. Just wanted to make sure there were no hidden screws or anything before i just pulled them off as hard as i could. also, anyone know the sizes of the speakers? thanks!

Hello,

I bought an Accent 2 weeks ago and drove it fine for a week

But now i lost power when i accelerate from a stop or passing people on the road i would like to know what it might be before going to the shop.

Idling is fine just acceleration the problem...

Thanks for any input

Hello members,

I have an Hyundai Accent X3 1995 1.5 SOHC Manual Sedan.
I had the hazard lights on for 15mins while engine idle when the hazard lights stopped working along with the turn signals.
No response/noise/anything from the car when hazard switch is pressed or multi-function lever is used.

I've checked and swapped fuses.
I've got a new flasher unit.
All other electrics work fine.

hmaservice.com troubleshooting lists;
Turn signal does not operate and
Hazard warning lamps do not operate
but not both together.

The ones that correspond in both are:
Fusible link (30A) blown (it says 'replace bulb' but surely it means 'replace fuseable link)
Turn signal flasher faulty (maybe my new flasher is also faulty, but it is brand new)
Wiring or ground faulty (could anyone narrow it down to the best path to look for the fault?)

The other culprits are:
Turn signal switch faulty
Hazard switch faulty
Bulb blown and needs replacing.
But.. these are not in both troubleshooting lists.. so I assume they aren't the reason?

I'm begging for suggestions as to what could be wrong.. or ruling out of any of the culprits I've mentioned.

Thanks for helping!

Hi all,

I really hope someone can help me on this question.

Recently bought a '99 Excel (Accent) in Australia, after previously owning an MVi in UK.

Driving this one around, the suspension seems really, really bouncy, almost unsafe at times. I have driven over a short, tall speedbump and the front suspension copes fine, but the rear seems to bounce badly, almost a ripple effect when it hits the bump.

Driving the car, it bounces all over the place on just about any small bump or dip in the road, feels like the suspension is made of rubber....

The Mvi was a solid little thing that handled like it was on rails, like a dream, this is a very different experience. Can anyone suggest what this might be, or if it just a characterisitc of the car I am not aware of? I know the Mvi had different springs and suspension setup to the standard sold Accent, but I have to say this suspension doesn't feel right at all.

Would appreciate any help, thanks a lot!

But I won Second Place! Only four hyundais showed but I cant complain about another trophy. lol. Kinda weird tho, I lost to a tiburon I have beaten in the past at bigger show... I also won the biggest prize in the raffle. a pair of race ramps that are designed for lowered cars. pretty cool for 5 bucks. lol

The beast the day before the show...

The Hyundai Class...^



My newest show shirt... its custom! ^

Hi guys, hoping someone would be able to tell me where to get replacement trim for my excel? The outside part along the windows that is always the first part to crack and split. And also the part that runs all the way around the door frame? Rubber on the outside and like a metal clip on the inside that holds it on. Mines a really light grey colour, hoping to get black if possible. Anywhere in Aus preferable but willing to look O/S.
Sorry for the lack of description will try to post pics soon but any help appreciated

The car is a 1995, 1.5 12v GLS AUtomatic.
Sometimes it starts without a hitch. It is always starting imediatly when warm.
Is is usually worst when it has been sitting for a couple of days.
But if i use starting gas it starts up right away.
I have changes spark plugs, spark plug wires, coils, fuel filer, oil, oil filter.
None of this had any effect.

After reading this forum i am thinking maybe it can be the Fuelpump or fuelpump relay?
Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone!

I have a 1999 Hyundai Accent and I was just wondering has anyone improved it's interior look by changing lights or anything? I'm just wondering what it could look like.

Faith

Just an FYI post. My 1998 Accent had the check engine light on which turned out to be the P0442 code for evaporative emission leak. Turned out the leak was due to the top of the filler neck being rusted enough to make it porous causing the vacuum leak. The rusted area was at the top of the neck where there is a plastic piece underneath the neck pipe held by two bolts. Looks like the plastic piece might be there to protect the neck from being struck by rocks being kicked up, not really sure. Over time, road debris built up between the neck pipe and the plastic piece and held the moisture against the pipe causing the rust. When I removed this cover, and cleaned away the build up, I was able to put the tip of a screwdriver right through the neck pipe.

So if you are having an evap system leak code, something you may want to consider checking.

I have a 99 Accent 1.5l manual. Recently it began stalling for no apparent reason. After a few minutes it would start back up. This soon evolved into taking a couple of days to start to now not starting at all. The stalls occurred both while at idle and while driving. Based on reading other similar posts, I replaced the crank position sensor, but it still doesn't start. Prior to any of the stalls the car ran great and once it started back up it ran great as well. Now all it does is just turn over, but does not start. Any help would be appreciated.

My handle is pretty much scrap. I need to change it. Is it possible to remove it without remove the whole panel? All i see is a blue pin holding it to the mecanical on the other side. i try lifting it without succes.

also do you think canadian tire or big floor shop carry car handle remplacement?

thank you and welcome to me on this forum

thank you all

ok on my gf 99 accent the alternator shuts off after 5 mins for some reason. so we replaced it 3 times same issue over an over again. then we talked to a ase mechanic an he said that there is a voltage reg in the ecu. so we replaced that for 100 bucks an guess what same FNNN problem. so we traced the wires an they all went to the fuse box an those where all good to. so what else can we try an do.

yes all of the alternators where brand new.

Hey!
I have a 2 door '97 Accent. I've been searching all over for a new carpet. I have my interior done in red and black and that gray-ish white carpet just doesn't do me any good at car shows.
Everywhere I look, they only have carpets available for the 4 door accent. Mine's a two door.

So my question..Is there much difference between the floor pans in the 4door and 2door? I know a lot of cars, the only difference is that the 4 door is going to be just a little bit longer...If that's the case, then that doesn't bother me, I can cut it.

Thanks!!!

Hi All

I need to replace a section of exhaust, the section i need to replace is shown in this ebay auction

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=200388615955

Does anyone know if gaskets are used for the 2 joins? I have searched far and wide and cant seem to locate any gaskets apart from the manifold gasket.

Also any tips on the replacement apart from getting some WD40 on the bolts a couple of days before?

Thanks in advance

Danny

so i really want an air intake for my 99 hyundai accent gsi but they have none for them? anyone no a website you can buy them from??????

please help


thank you so much

Hi my engine appears to be overheating, checked the over fill and this was empty. Tried to take the radiator cap off to fill this up but this doesn't come off. I turn it and then try to pull it off but it stays where it is. Didnt want to force it off, so I was just making sure that this cap is actually supposed to come off.

Thanks

hi i'm new here, i'm stacy. i'm the owner of a 96 hyudai accent, recently i noticed something's wrong, the engine is shuddering badly the car is not even if i have my foot pressed all the way down on the accelerator then it just shut off. my mechanic checked and foud that two of the things on the coil pack was'nt firing, i changed that bt they r still not firing, now he's saying it's an electrical problem, should i see an electrician? i don't wanna spend unneccessary money

Hello, so I just bought a 99 Accent GSi for a Daily Driver. I am changing the Timing belt and the water pump because they are broken. now that I have the Irrelavant info out of the way let me get into my real question. Is there any type of tuning available for the ECU wethere it be an "EVO scan" type thing that they use for Mitsu Evo's or a DSMLink type program that is used in Eclipse/Talon/Laser. I dont want to put an AFC in it because I dont want to spend that much on it, but I would like to lean out the AFR because they are usually pig rich from the factory.

thanks

Hi
Can anyone tell me where I can access a workshop/users manual in English for my Hyundai Accent 1997? I tried the hmaservice site but they only go back as far as 2000 now. My problem is the car is a Greek ex-hire car and the user manual is in Greek! I've tried googling but no luck so far. I'm happy to pay for a download version if it's the right manual.
Any links/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Sally

My wife told me out 1999 Accent threw a check engine. When I checked the code it was P0136. I know this is the O2 sensor, but I a not sure if it is the upstream or downstream and where the location of the sensor is under the hood.

The sensor has not been replaced for at least 40k.

Anyone know where I can find the CORRECT wiring diagram for a 99 accent 2 dr hatch. The ones I find have a blu/black wire listed that my car does not actually have. Thanks!

Tengo una Apex'i SAFC y ya tengo conectado las RPM, la se~al del Throtel, ahora necesito conectar la se~al del flow meter, lo q pasa es q la ecu de mi accent es de plug blanco y todas las que salen en internet es el plug negro. Busque y encontre q la se~al es la q varia de 0 a 5v pero la conecto a la apexi y no hace nada kisiera saber en q cable debo conectar la apexi. Accent 96 plug blanco necesito el diagrama o los cables del flowmeter para poderla conectar bn.

Hey

As stated in another topic, i have just aquired an Accent MVI 1998. I have put new wheels on it and wanted to know the recommended clearance between the tyre and the rear shock absorbers. There is about 10mm clearance....enough?

This is more of a general exhaust question but my 98 Accent has developed a leak between the muffler pipe flange and the flange on the connecting pipe. Is there a gasket in there that has given way or do I have to replace both pipes?

Thanks
Chris

Any MVI owners out there? I went to change the fuel filter and had a bit of a suprise, in any tech diagram you find to change the filter on an accent, you have a circle cut out plus a bit extra to get access to the filter underneath the rear seats. Mine only has a completely circular cut out allowing me access ONLY to the fuel pump...cant even SEE or get to the filter. Is it somewhere else on the MVI?

Thanks

Danny

Hi can anyone help? The transmission crunches when down shifting into 3rd Gear. Been into the repair shop twice oil changed, linkages re alinged.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Puffy

hi all!

i just got a 99 accent, and its been working great, but when i shift to 2nd (from first) quickly it grinds. if i do it slowly its fine. could it be the way im shifting? or a tranny problem. i basicly put the cluch to the floor and shirt to second around 2500rpm.
for now im just skiping 2nd.

thanks for the help

Hi i was wondering if i could get any advice or if anyone could tell me if these wheels will fit my car and if there's any other adjustments id have to do

low profile tyres 17x205x40zr17

They are the Rims and Tyre i am thinking of getting.

Cheers hope to hear from you guys soon thanks in advance.

I experience problems that if i try to set 5ft or Return it´s very hard to get in to this gears, but once i made it, it works just fine

Can anyone offer some advice to possible causes and also solutions?





Thx

Hello. First post for in an import forum, first import car acctualy. Im not new to cars as I have a 1995 Mustang that is my baby but Ive never had a auto car before. My wife has a 1998 Accent that has about 130,000 miles on it. My problem is that the car shutters pritty bad when I put it into reverse. It shutters even worse when the car is cold. The car doesnt throw any CEL's so I could use any help u can give.

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi All
Quick question. My wifes car has failed its MOT for an inefficient drivers side parking brake ( hand brake ). After inspecting the rear brake I could see no problems. Adjusters working fine, plenty of lining left on the shoes.?? I then checked to see how much adjustment was left at the lever end. At this point it seemed clear that the cable had stretched as I could see the equiliser bar was not pulling the cables evenly. I was also getting very near to the end of the adjustment thread. So I decided to purchace not 1 but 2 new cables. I have fitted them both and this is where I have a problem.
The new cables were fitted and every bracket reference points are all fitted correctly. The problem is both cables seem to be to long. I can wined the adjuster up to it's maximum and neither brake applies. Any ideas would be most greatful.

Thanks Rob

Hi All, well i just got myself a free Accent MVI 1998, needs a little TLC but nice mostly. It needed 4 new tyres, im in france and they cost a fortune here, so for a lil bit more i got some nice new alloys with tyres included on ebay.

Ive thrown a wheel on a car before and i can get my hands dirty doing an oil change and a service but im far from knowledgeable. Today when putting the back wheels on, there is a screw on the back drums which is blocking the wheel from going on. Google has told me this is an adjuster screw? Correct or not?

Only way to get the wheel on would be to take the screw off....

So for those of you who know more than me, most im sure! What is it and what do i do?

Thanks!

Danny

I am having trouble finding the hard line (assuming it's a cooling line) that comes off the power steering reservoir, and travels in front of the radiator, and then comes back. I have checked auto zone and JC Whitney with no result. Any body have any suggestions?

Thanks

I HAVE A 1999 HYUNDAI ACCENT GL AUTOMATIC. PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING ARE CAR WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF YOU ARE IN 2ND GEAR IT WILL SHIFT INTO DRIVE BUT THERE IS NO OVERDRIVE. SOMETIMES IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RE-START IT WILL BE FINE, OTHER TIMES IT WILL STILL ACT UP. CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER NO SHAVINGS, AND ADJUSTED THROTTLE CABLE OR (TV CABLE) STILL NO CHANGE. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SLIP, WHEN THE TRANNY IS WORKING IT IS SPOT ON. WE HAVE HIT A WALL ON WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Hey everyone,

I got a question, I bought a 1998 Hyundai Accent, it's got the 1.5l 12valve 4 cylinder engine, it's a one owner car with an immaculate carfax. It has 230,000 miles on it and the thing runs fine from start up to running to shutting it off at night. I love the car I haven't had any problems with it other than having to throw a couple new wheel cylinders and rear brakes on it. I noticed today and a earlier actually that it blows white smoke every so often from the exhaust, I have no idea what it could be, I've searched on google and people have said that it could be coolant leaking into the cylinders or that the piston rings may have a crack in them or are about to be shot. I did give the thing an oil change with Penzoil 5W-30 and I through in some Lucas Oil Stabilizer due to the high mileage and white smoke from the exhaust prior to the oil change. I would like to know what's wrong with or going wrong with my Accent. It's my first car and I love it and I treat it like gold. So can anyone please help me out?

Thanks much in advance

P.S.

Sorry If this has already been posted in this forum.

Hello Everyone,

I've had an ongoing issue with my front wipers where they will not return to the "park" position and the intermittent switch doesn't work at all. (When turned to intermittent the wipers work exactly the same as they do on regular speed, regardless how fast or slow I have the speed switch set to).

I was told by the Dealership that the motor needed to be replaced. They wanted to charge me $330 (CDN) plus labour, so I figured I'd do it myself. I went to a pick n' pull and grabbed one (for $8.00 I might add ). I switched them out and I still have the exact same problem. I suppose it's possible that the one I picked up at the pick n pull is defective as well, but I'm thinking that would be pretty coincidental.

Anyways, I've noticed that on both motors as soon as I switch off the wipers the motor immediately stops... there is no sound of it returning to park. I've disconnected the motor from the linkage arm and made sure the wipers move freely to rule out that cause, which they do.

The only other thing I can think of is that it is the intermittent wiper relay... however I can't see how that would be related to the park issue as they do not return to park no matter which setting their on (intermittent, regular, or fast).

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello. I have a 1998 Accent GS. I bought the car recently and need to replace all four tires. I am looking for peoples recommendations and experiences with different tire brands, for and against. The tires will have to deal with winters in NYC metro area. I am not looking for performance tires, the car is stock. Thanks.
