Santa Fe L4-2.4L (2001)
On the 2.5L V6 Sonata, the DTC P0500 (the Hi-Scan Pro description is again "Vehicle Speed Sensor") indicates a condition with the RF-WSS mounted
on the right front hub or related circuitry.
Thus, for the Sonata, the same DTC (P0500) on different engine options (2.4L versus 2.5L) relate to a different sensor (one mounted on the transmission
and the other mounted to the right front hub).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
^
Because the code alone does not pinpoint which sensor/circuit may be related to the code, refer to the table on the following page when working on a
VSS related code.
^
The condition can be verified by checking the operation of the speedometer and/ or the vehicle speed readout on the Hi-Scan Pro.
^
Once the correct sensor/circuit has been determined, diagnose the condition by checking the integrity of the circuit and the function of the sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE EXAMPLE:
1.
The Check Engine Light is ON.
VEHICLE: 2001 Elantra.
2.
A VSS related DTC is stored in the ECM (P0500 or P0501).
EXAMPLE: DTC P0501 ("Vehicle Speed Sensor -- Abnormal¨) stored in ECM.
3.
Using the table, determine which sensor is related to the DTC.
EXAMPLE: The table indicates that the RF-WSS is related to the code P0501.
4.
Diagnose the related electrical circuit and the sensor for proper function.
EXAMPLE: Check that the RF-WSS circuit and sensor are functioning properly. Make sure that the "tone-wheel" on the RF-axle is not damaged.
