I started exploring tutorial videos before I wanted to do it all by myself. This video is greatest among others on CZcams. Very detailed info,it took me 4 hours to change it. It’s because I’m not a mechanic but I’m glad and thankful to this man who saved my money and I build a confidence too. Thank you for this great video. ❤
hello there, wondering how is it going so far? I assume you bought a used battery, is it still going, any issues, how money you spent on the used battery if I may ask? Thanks
great video and very detailed explanation. thanks for the hard work with taking video and editing and stuff. i was considering buying used hybrid 2017 sonata and mostly worried about battery failed and died can cost me another arms and legs but this video gave some hope
I am trying to buy a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited, it has 79K miles on it. As it is 10 years old I am considered about the Hybrid Battery, How Can I check for the life of battery? Is there any signs to check for the life of battery?
Hey there! Great video! We actually replaced the cells on the battery and have installed the refurbished battery into the car. But somehow it is still not cranking the engine up. And it seems to still be stuck with the same warning lights. Is there anything else we need to do?
Great, video! My mom's 2014 sonata needs the hybrid battery replaced. Where can I get a reliable hybrid battery as a replacement? The dealership wants to charge $8,000+ and I was told getting a hybrid battery at a junk yard is a hit or miss because there is no way to test how good the battery is. Any tips or resources is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
There are a few options here is an ebay link. ebay.us/mEymrL Here is a link to a few remans with warranty. www.greentecauto.com/product-tag/hyundai-sonata-2011-2015 Either of these options are far cheaper than the dealership. Me personally I would go with the used ebay hybrid battery. The price is a bargain with the miles listed. Also if it does not work , you have 30 days money back guarantee. Thanks for the feedback.
Getting ready to do this to our 2011 Sonata. Dealer wanted $6700 for the battery. One question. Do you have to have any of the computers or other systems reprogrammed after you change all this out?
At any point in this did you happen to see if the sonata has any kind of hybrid battery air filter? Or are the vents/ducts the only thing keeping the battey cool (and clean?)
I need to change the fuse on my 2012 hybrid battery, I already took out the safety cover without disconnecting the battery, can I swap out the fuse without disconnecting the battery? Should I disconnect the battery, then add in the new fuse now? I am a little worried about the high voltage warning and going out of order. Thank you for your help I will check back later.
My 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited, the "Ready" light flickers from time to time. It'll turn off for as low as half a second to as high of 3 seconds and then will continue to drive. My acceleration struggles as well. Would all of this be Hybrid Battery related? I replaced the fuse about a year ago because my car shut down going down the freeway. I am thinking about doing the power relay assembly. Would it be better to do the relay to start or just do the whole battery?
I had that symptom that started 'every now and then' which progressed to can't drive more than 2-3min without flashing hybrid warning-do not drive. I got to this video after watching a video on replacing power relay and safety plug. I did that, but it did not work for me, so went with a used battery off eBay. Used this video as a guide for the process! THANK YOU! But... after replaced and driving nice, I got P1A6F code that would not go away (solid yellow wrench light). I kept clearing and hoping would reset. I tried two different BCM, so now it's at the dealer. I know I see used BCM all over eBay, but couldn't find an answer on if they needed programming for your particular car. Dealer told me if used doesn't work, then you need a new one that's programmed to the car. (I'm skeptical!) Of course I know it's a little bit of a gamble when you buy used battery, so it's possible that the issue is the battery.
As long as the hybrid battery is ruled out, it is most likely going to be the generator/electric motor.( part sandwiched between engine & tran) However you need to rule out the battery management system as well as make sure all wire and connections are good. Caution when working on these always remove the fuse from the hybrid battery as I am sure you already know . ( produces 270 volts) Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks for the feedback.
The battery was ruined when I purchased the car already. Basically what you might get is a low hybrid warning and failure to charge. It could however be caused by other issues with the battery management system, but most likely failing battery. Thanks for watching.
Looking at getting a 2015 sonata hybrid with 115k miles owners only second owner says car has been great with the 55k miles they put on it haven't noticed any issues. Is it something worth getting they asking 8500k for it. Even called Hyundai dealership asking life of the battery couldn't really give me a time frame other than 5 to 15 years. And that you can drive the car even if the hybrid battery goes out.
If you do a lot of city driving they are nice. They do pretty well hwy also but the there is no comparison with non hybrid mpg city. They have their issues like most cars but the main areas focus around the hyrbid battery and the battery managent system. Seems like if those are doing well so is everything else. Another big note , I would have all hoses and especially hose fittings replaced these are problem areas , and big cause of engine failures. Best of luck on whatever you decide and thanks for watching.
I noticed a battery from 2012 hyundai sonata has the intake vent facing the other direction. Will it still work in one that's facing the opposite direction
czcams.com/video/QB2T3kEzQOc/video.html You will have to scroll through , I actually test drive it at the end. This car turned out to be a little more involved than I thought , motor was no good. Hybrid battery is performing awesome though. 7000 is outrageous, I know there is labor involved but I could replace the electric motor , battery management , and hybrid battery for less . Most likely you just need the battery replaced . You can get a used for price in video or get a reman with warranty for 1400. Now unless there is an issue with your charging system it should be pretty straight forward. As far as replacing the hybrid battery it is pretty simple. Hope this helps.
There's My Question. How can I know it's my CHARGING System that's the problem? I'm about to spring for almost 4 gs for a new hybrid battery? I would be blipped up, IF I wasted more money! @@s33therfan , THanks in advance
I got mine from ebay , so far it is working perfectly. It was half the cost of a reman one which were running around 1400 and up. If you want a 3 year warranty however the reman is the way to go. I got a standard 3 month warranty with this one from ebay. These batteries are not very difficult to replace and definitely save a lot of money. Thanks for watching.
What is the DC voltage that you should measure on the power relay terminals? I swapped my power relay in about 2 hours which Hyndai mentioned that would do for $1800 and not confirmed if this would fix issue. Switching relay did not slove issue. Car has error code P0A78. Screen is flashing Hybrid System Warning Safely Stop and Do Not Drive. Orange 120 Amp fuse reads 0 ohms resistance, has anyone replaced the orange fuse with 0 ohms resistance and solved problem?. Looking for tips on next step.
Just check fuse with a continuity tester. Maybe people swap the 125 amp fuse to a 150 amp fuse due to the 125 burning out so often. All u need is a knife and Phillips head the fuse is about $15
I need to check the fuse on my 2016 hybrid battery, but the high voltage warning has me worried. However, it seems if you don't take the main cover off you should be safe. What do you think?
If your car is working then the fuse is most likely good. It will start throwing codes and wont allow you to drive when it goes bad. You can remove it easily and safely just by lifting the safety tab and pulling up. Anytime you work under the hood it is a good idea to remove the fuse also. I keep a spare fuse just in case , of an issue for mine. Thank you for the feedback.
If it starts going bad you will start getting warnings on the dash. You most likely would have trouble keeping it charged while driving or even difficulty starting the car. Thank you for the feedback.
That seems about right , some cars stay around the middle while others will climb higher. It pretty much depends on the dc converter unit and it's programming. Thanks for the feedback.
I only got the warning hybrid battery low , and it was not charging. However the P1B96 could also be a bad hybrid battery. These cars can also develope an issue with the dc converter , and the control module but it is less common.
You can find them used from auto parts stores online , Ebay is where I puchased this one. They run 600 to 900 used. For a reman you are looking at around 1500 and up , but better warranty. Thanks for watching.
They do somewhat , however they always have that fine print on their warranty. I believe the terms are something like: You must be the original owner , not to exceed 100k miles. Possibly even more terms. Great question . Thanks for the feedback.
@@s33therfan I have a Hyundai and I believe the warranty does transfer. I was disappointed when I ask for warranty service and the dealer told me that particular part wasn't covered ( 2009 Sonata dash board went blank). I had a mechanic friend changed it for $300. 2009 Sonata and 2006 Tucson is still running strong with minimal repair. I am planning to get a hybrid either the Elantra or Sonata. Great video on how to change the battery.
I have sonata hybrid 2012 model and the battery is not charging ,have call 3 electrician to check and their can't service it, where will I get a new battery pack for replacement.help me out
@L Cue Good luck on a lifetime battery. My friend has a 2016 Hybrid Sonata and the battery died 2 years ago. The dealer kept saying its coming from Korea and it's on back order. They kept trying to get him to trade it in for a new model. Well till today, nothing. He finally filed a lawsuit. He's the original owner and well below 100k miles. Hyundai doesn't want lifetime battery warranty. They would be losing out. But they wanted to sell. Never believe lifetime warranties.
