DESCRIPTION

Some 2001-2002 Santa Fe 2.4L vehicles may turn on the "Check Engine" light and have the diagnostic trouble code P0139 stored in the ECM.

This diagnostic trouble code can be set by error under certain driving conditions.

If the code is set, and the rear O2 sensor is diagnosed to be functioning properly, perform the ECM software reprogramming procedure using the Hi-Scan Pro as outlined below.

CAUTIONS BEFORE REPROGRAMMING

  1. Conduct reprogramming with the ignition key in the "ON" position.
  2. Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or Hi-Scan Pro during reprogramming.
    WARNING: If reprogramming is interrupted, the manual update procedure must be used.
  3. Do not start the engine during reprogramming.
  4. Do not turn the ignition key off during reprogramming.

ECM REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

NOTE: Verify that the vehicle is affected by identifying the vehicle production date and VIN.

    G00314576
    NOTE:
    • The current ECM ID will be replaced by the new ECM ID.
    • To be prepared in case a reprogramming error occurs, write down the old and new ECM IDs displayed on the Hi-Scan Pro screen during the automatic update procedure.
    • The recorded ECM IDs will be used during the Manual Update Procedure if the program does not download correctly.
    • If the Hi-Scan Pro does not download the program properly, use the Manual Update Procedure following this section.
    WARNING: Do not interrupt the reprogramming at any time. The ECM will be rendered inoperative if the program does not download completely.
  15. Hi-Scan Pro establishes communication. (Fig 11 )
