The biturbo has forever been ruined in my head due to the incident. However, if anyone can save it, you can. Note: you never capitalize biturbo. Because nothing about that noun is proper.

My son acquired an '01 Accord ULEV VTEC 4 for cheap...after we replaced the rotten gas tank, it kept throwing a code for a restricted EGR. I disassembled the EGR, cleaned it & the passage. Still coding Today, we pulled apart the plenum... https://www.facebook.com/bob.washburne/videos/10157727099097985/?t=2 (apologies for the FB link. I fail at the video posting)

 Also uh, doesn't the 48 state 01 Accord LX qualify as ULEV? I seem to remember my 01 having those stickers.

You know way more about these cars & engines than I do... I did the same clean-out on my son's 99 Accord (the one that suffered crankwalk) and it was bad...but nothing like this. I was just distinguishing between the two engines in case there was some difference. Funny part 1: we got a fair bit of maintenance records with this one. The PO had had EGR issues for the past four years, and was charged $300-$400 on three separate occasions to clean out the "intake." Nice. Funny Part II: the enormous Seafoam-like billowing clouds which followed the initial start after we buttoned it up. Went on for about five minutes. My neighbor came out to see what caught fire. We went through the better part of a jumbo can of Gumout & some brake cleaner. I removed as much as I could from the intake side of the plenum, using the screwdriver & a couple old socks.

So they never cleaned out the EGR and the intake just gummed up again, or they did absolutely nothing except fog in some MAF cleaner, clear a code and ask for $400?

Had a heart attack and two stints on Saturday. Best part is the cardiologist told me I really couldn't have done anything to prevent or detect it ahead of time. The arterial wall just ruptured all at once and produced the clot. Cholesterol was lower than the threshold to medicate, blood pressure was low, and I'm only 39. Fun times. lovely genes are my mechanical failure.

Be prepared for another heart attack when they send you the bill! And we're somehow back on Grandpa getting above Mach 2... So to try and get this somewhat on track: 06 Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon - V6 2.7ltr It's an automatic with pretty much every bell and whistle available, real top of the line for what it is. Including an option to turn the traction control on or off, why you'd ever wanna turn it off in an FWD Auto is beyond me, you cant whip the rear end end out or anything, you cant lock it in 1, 2 or 3 though it does have a tiptronic shifter it'll still force a shift if you redline or it's gonna stall so yeah... Anyways, randomly my TCL light will come on if i'm at a complete stop and then floor it to do a 90 degree turn. It'll obviously break the tyres loose which will make the light flicker to let me know that "hey, you have traction control and it's currently doing its job", but just every once in a while it'll flicker and then stay on. Pressing the button wont turn the light off again and the only way to do so is to restart the car. Anyone got any ideas as to why that would be happening or is the answer simply "13 year old Hyundai wiring"? The inbuilt alarm is utter trash and a known fault for all coupes / tiburons so I assume the wiring might just be a little shite in other areas too.

Does it do it every time or does it sometimes flash and shut off without incident? What happens if you break the tyres loose again while the indicator is stuck on?

Pressing the button wont turn the light off again and the only way to do so is to restart the car. If it only happens when you launch hard with the steering cranked, my guess would be that there's a sanity check of some sort that's going outside of expectations and causing the system to disable itself out of an abundance of caution. My E46 did the same thing if I started it up and immediately backed up over a curb (which happened from time to time if I had nosed in to my apartment's parking space and was trying to back out in a hurry). It'd immediately bong at me and light up the cluster the same as if I had manually disabled all the nannies, but pressing the button wouldn't bring them back on. My best guess is that it was seeing the extra rotation generated at the curbside (or curbtop) wheel and deciding that this was too far off what was calculated to be possible at that point for the sensor to be trusted until a power cycle.

dpack_1 posted:06 Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon - V6 2.7ltr Shotgunning a guess at this - a wheel speed sensor or a steering angle sensor. Might be worth paying a dealer to hook it up to their computer for a diagnostic, it'll have something stored in the traction control module (which may be part of the ABS module). Do you get an ABS or brake warning light at the same time? If you do, wheel speed sensor is most likely. If you don't, I'd be leaning toward steering angle sensor (if it has one). But I don't know Hyundais. What happens if you turn off traction control and try the same thing?

It's happened a total of 3 times over the last 3500 miles. Literally nothing will shut the light off other than powering down and back up. I've got an OBD-II scanner, ran that with the light stuck on and no error code shown. Nor does it show any stored codes after a restart just in case the scanner needed to be plugged in from a start up (manual says it can be plugged in hot but you never know) My guess was a sensor needing cleaning or replaced too but seeing as it's not giving a code i don't wanna just start throwing money at random parts. At the end of the day this is just a daily run about car that I got to start racking up a no claims bonus for insurance so i'm not overly worried given how infrequent it is. But at the same time i'm a little concerned cos, ya know, traction controll is kinda useful and i don't want something to go wrong with it when i hit some ice or a pile of mulch etc. Oh and no, ABS light doesn't come on at any time other than the initial start up checks when turning the ignition on. All in all the car has been 100% sound since i bought it except for those 3 TCL things and a couple times it's moaned about an O2 sensor cos i've got a leak in a flex pipe, i just wipe the code with my scanner and it goes away for another 500+ miles.

Could perhaps also be that the OBDII reader isn't specific enough to see the code. Like Torque shows no codes, but my AlfaOBD for FCA stuff found a code. Pretty funny code as it came from me pressing the brake and gas at the same time to get some surface rust off the discs after a week sitting. "Brake signal not feasible" or something.

Most OBD2 scanners can only pull codes from the engine computer; they can't dive into other modules (like the traction control). There IS a code, it's just not in the engine computer.

Yeah, tends to require a quite a bit more expensive scanner to get the manufacturer-specific codes out of the other modules, if not an actual manufacturer scanner.

Check if the community knows any aftermarket solutions. For FCA stuff there is AlfaOBD or MultiECUScanner that can do everything (and more) than any dealer thing can. There are different adapters for the different modules and different cars.
