Inspection For PCM Power Circuit Open/Short Circuit

2024 Hyundai Kona Limited, 4WDSECTION Inspection For PCM Power Circuit Open/Short Circuit
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Turn IGN Switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect the PCB block "PCB-C" connector and the PCM connector.
  3. Using a multi-tester, check the resistance of the power side terminal of the "PCB-C" connector and the body ground to check whether the wiring is short-circuited.
  4. Using a multi-tester, check the resistance between the "PCB-C" connector power side terminal and the PCM power terminal to check if the wiring is disconnected.
  5. Check the resistance to check for disconnection or short-circuiting of the wiring line on the PCM engine control relay ON power side.

    Information 

    If the resistance value is measured during short-circuit inspection, short-circuit with peripheral parts/wiring can be suspected.

    While shaking the wiring, Inspection For short-circuit area through the change value of resistance.

    Information 

    If excessive resistance is measured during disconnection inspection, short-circuit with other wiring/wiring failure/intermediate connector failure are suspected.

    In this case, a problem could occur as normal voltage/current is not energized to the circuit.

    Locate the faulty part through inspection, and repair it.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
