Hyundai Accent (HC): Charging System / Troubleshooting
Hyundai Accent (HC) (2017 - 2022) Service Manual / Engine Electrical System / Charging System / Troubleshooting
• Be careful not to short-circuit the wiring by the body or other wirings.
• In case of discharging problem, measure dark current at all times.(Refer to Charging System - "Dark Current Inspection")
• When checking the alternator main fuse, perform continuity test and voltage test between terminals as well as visual check to confirm normal operation.
• When checking the ground, repair or replace after inspecting for defective ground cable, defective installation or defective contact due to foreign object.
• It is not recommended to use non-authentic parts as installing non-authentic parts may cause malfunction of charging system.
• Be careful as misassembly may cause short-circuit of wiring, which may result in battery discharge.
• As it will reset and appear as normal if the battery negative (-) terminal is disconnected while measuring dark current, measure by using a hook meter without disconnecting the negative (-) terminal.
• Note that there may be various phenomenons / possible causes / repair measures apart from above.
• For more effective repairs, refer to DTC guide and ETM.
