This TSB will provide instructions on how to test the vehicles speedometer gauge for proper operation and accuracy using the Hi-Scan Pros Sensor Simulator function. This procedure is recommended as the first step in diagnosing speedometer operation and accuracy. Vehicles that can be tested using the following procedure: Model Accent Elantra Santa Fe Sonata XG-300/350 PROCEDURE 1. Ensure that your Hi-Scan Pro has the latest SOL Application Software Card. 2. Connect the DLC connector of your Hi-Scan tool to the vehicles DLC port. 3. Turn the vehicles ignition to the ON position. (do not start the vehicle). 4. Turn the Hi-Scan Pro tool on. Start Year 2000 2001 2001 1999 2001 End Year 2005 2006 2006 2005 2005

8. The SENSOR SIMULATOR screen will now be displayed. The default function is VSS, vehicle speed simulation.

9. Enter a target test speed by using the + and - keys. 10. A target test speed of 20MPH entered into the Hi-Scan Pro should result in a readout on the vehicles speedometer of 20MPH, plus or minus the tolerance specified in step 13.

11. A target test speed of 100MPH entered into the Hi-Scan Pro should result in a readout on the vehicles speedometer of 100MPH, plus or minus the tolerance specified in step 13.

12. If diagnosing a suspected non-operational speedometer and the target test speed is displayed, the speedometer is functioning properly and focus should be placed on testing the Vehicle Speed Sensor, physical connections, and wiring. Refer to the appropriate Electrical Troubleshooting Manual and Shop Manual for complete diagnostic procedures. 13. If diagnosing speedometer accuracy, use the following tolerance chart to determine if the speedometer gauge is within proper specifications. Accent

14. If the speedometer displays target test speeds correctly while connected to the Hi-Scan, but appears to be out of specification during road speed tests, focus should be placed on testing the Vehicle Speed Sensor, checking tire pressure, and tire/wheel rolling diameter. Refer to the appropriate Electrical Troubleshooting Manual and Shop Manual for complete diagnostic procedures.
