2000-01 ACCENT INTERMITTENT
CRANK-NO-START
CAUSED BY THE ECM
DESCRIPTION:
If a 2000 or 2001 Accent experiences all of the following:
^
Very intermittent crank-no-start (in some cases, months between incidences).
^
The Check Engine Light does not light up when the ignition key is turned to the "on" position (normally it does).
^
The Hi-Scan Pro cannot communicate with the Engine Control Module (ECM).
^
Disrupting power to the ECM and reapplying (for example, by disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery or disconnecting and reconnecting
the ECM connector) "fixes" the car temporarily (the engine starts).
^
The vehicle was produced between 6/14/00 and 7/11/00.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:

Replace the ECM.
