Component Inspection

2011 Hyundai Tucson GL, AutomaticSECTION Component Inspection
  1. Inspect the front HO2S for any silicon contamination. This contamination will be indicated by a white powdery coating and this will result in a bad false voltage signal.

    If contamination is evident on the HO2S, replace contaminated sensor with the new one and go to next step.

  2. Is sensor contaminated?

    YES 

    • Substitute with a known-good HO2S and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S and then go to VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR .

    NO 

    • Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR .
