I HAVE A CAR DEALER AND ILL TELL YOU ONE THING. ALL KIA OPTIMAS AND HYUNDAI SONATAS HYBRID WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM, HYBRID SYSTEM FAILS AND YOU WILL TAKE TO YOUR LOCAL DEALER AND FOR SURE THEY WILL SCROW WITH A RIDICULOUS BILL. SOME DEALER'S WILL TELL YOU IS THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT AND THEN YOU BILL IS GOING TO BE HIGH!

DO YOU A FAVOR BUY THE PART ONLINE hyundaioempartsdirect SELLS FOR 25 BUCKS: Fuse-High Voltage - Part # 375F2-4R150

STEPS TO CHANGE:

OPEN THE TRUNK, BEHIND THE BACK SEAT TAKE THE ORANGE PIECE OPEN AND WITH A 10mm TOOL REMOVE 2 SCREWS, SWAP THE CAPACITORS! DONE PROBLEM SOLVE.

THE DEALER WILL CHARGE YOU AROUND 200,00 TO DIAGNOSTIC AND PLUS 80,00 FOR THE PART! PART ITSELF COST AROUND 25,00 ONLINE. THIS MUST TO BE A RECALL BUT THEY DONT CARE . I HAVE CHANGE MY SELF OVER 10 CARS THAT I SOLD FOR COSTUMERS AND LATER ONE HAD THIS PROBLEM!

CARS FROM 2011 TO 2016 AS I KNOW HAVE THIS PROBLEM KIA OPTIMA HYBRID AND HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID

problem #1

Nov 262016

Optima Hybrid 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles

Left for work 1/4 mile, message appears "Turn vehicle off and check Hybrid engine." Pulled into a quick stop place, turned off car. Came back turned back on, within 2 miles message came on again, this time the engine light came on and has stayed on. Pulled off road, turned off again, but when turned back on, engine light stayed on. As I got to work message came on again, along with the "traction control" light. Called Dealership,(this was Saturday 11-27). Tech responsible for Hybrid repairs won't be in until Tuesday. Now it's a waiting game....TO BE CONTINUED......
