Repair Procedures

Self-Diagnosis

  1. Self-Diagnosis Procedure.
    Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
    Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
    • When operating self-diagnosis, the malfunction below (self-diagnosis code) will flash at 0.5 second intervals on the temperature display of the display settings (driver side only), and the other symbols are off.
  2. Trouble Code Display
    1. Continuous Operation: DTC.

    [4.5 V ≤ TEMP F/B Voltage < 4.9 V], error code 20 is not displayed because
    there are no further restrictions. This prevents MAX WARM
    and MAX COOL from displaying code 20 due to the allowable tolerance of the actuator
    and FATC.)
