THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Bonus Video with the PCM change over. I was seriously curious. AND your ability to diagnose these days, is getting kinda scary. When the planet collapses, you are definitely welcome on my ship as Head Mechanic : )
mate your the best, its like you always said its a process of elimination, just imaging if cars were still old school, no computers, check fuel air and then fuses, 9 times out of ten, it will be a fuse or fuel or basically electrical system, now days you need a PHD in auto electrical meaning the scan tool does most of the work, lol :) Keep up the great work always watch your channel, you are a scholar and a gentleman. 🚗🚗😊😊👌👌👍👍✌✌
I once owned a Hyundai Santa Fe ('09 I think) that had this same intermittent transmission problem. I finally figured out that shutting the engine off and restarting it would usually fix it. Eventually the issue was permanently fixed by a deer which entered my path one morning and ended the lives of both the Santa Fe and the deer. Thanks for the vid.
Eric's ability to sniff out "Automotive Electric Gremlins" that other shops cannot find or figure out is now the stuff of legend. He is the Car whisperer for sure. The lesson taught to us today, is an important lesson in "Assumptions" that can lead amateur Gear-heads down the path of diagnostic defeat. Thank-you for the terrific content, and for showing us how you arrive at great solutions to complex problems. Unlike watching TikTok, where viewers feel they have lost 3 hrs of their life-they will NEVER get Back; when I am done watching another Super-Installation by Eric, I really do feel smarter and like I honestly learned something that will benefit somebody I know 1 day! Thanks for all you do at South Main Auto, we the faithful are humbled by your knowledge and for being a creator sharing it on UA-cam.
1975 C20 crew cab long bed 350/4speed. Gets lotsa looks now that it's ancient. I almost sold it to a coworker before I got sick. Sure glad I didn't let it go.
That was some absolutely brilliant diagnosing, Dr. O. Looks like many others had attempted to figure this out and failed. They just needed to call the Big Guns at SMA!
Eric O, I love watching your videos, especially when Mrs. O makes an appearance. I've mentioned this to you before but I'm not sure if you read my suggestion and don't want to use it; or you haven't read it yet. If you do see this, mention it and I'll stop but for now allow me to offer my suggestion for a new sign off. "Remember folks, if I can do it, you can do it. If we can't do it, we'll get Mrs. O to do it. 🙂
"Run down to the junkyard", here in Canada that is the dealer. Actually, we call them the KaBoom dealer, for their engines that dynamite at 75mph sending your Spyundai into a spin on an icy highway.
Love it when Eric finds a complex problem ... checks service data, does some logical diagnostics and discovers what the mystery(s) is ... and has a fix .... and we know he loves a trip to Pick n Pull
20 yr Hyundai tech here. I retired Hyundai and went independent so I’m going off memory. That generation Sonata was the most expensive to fix in my opinion but always kept running. I do remember A/T relay faults happening a lot. I may be saying that I remember replacing that relay a few times.
Great diagnostic, Eric! Very clear minded approach! When is a relay not a relay? When it's only a shunt, to use the same harness in a different vehicle model! Nice trap for young players 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Bonus Video with the PCM change over. I was seriously curious. AND your ability to diagnose these days, is getting kinda scary. When the planet collapses, you are definitely welcome on my ship as Head Mechanic : )
Wow its just a jump wire in a relay style box i bet they went to a junkyard and just assumed it was a relay so they just grabbed another relay 25:17 nice find Eric O @South Main Auto Repair LLC
Eric, I love your vids. Not only are they hilarious, but they are informative. I learn a lot. There is always another way to do things. 30 years in the trade, also instructor. Your sayings, Ericisms are what we share as well.
I use some of that Eric O. Dictionary (as my fiancee would say) from time to time Whoa fella! Ope man down Ope there's yer (REAL?) Problem, lady -- not a sponsor
I'm astounded how you can troubleshoot while yakking the whole time. I get totally locked up when doing that, I almost forget to breathe. I experience mental and cognitive stalls where I'll freeze in the middle of the sentence or similar. But then again I see you're great in troubleshooting, and I'm not too shabby myself either. Highly interesting. It seems that human mind has several approaches to this kind of thing.
The best is at work again, and again you nailed it. Too many parts changers out there that can’t fix things. It takes smarts and a person who lives his work to do what you do Mr O ! Really enjoyed the PCM repair video also. Another great repair tech in another trade that relates to auto fixes. Dam good stuff !!
Ya Know I've been doing electronics since 1980 avionics autopilot, instruments, navigation, calibrated O-scopes, factory electrical and appliances. and You are my go-to Guy. I tell anybody working on automotive to check you out fun, educational, determined and down to earth. won't ever forget the video where the power steering pump was affecting the fuel system, and then the other day on the chevy where the left rear shock was keeping it from starting. Thoroughly enjoy Your channel Keep up the Great Work
Thanks Eric, I watch every video you put out, mostly on the job while fixing my own NY state rusted crap. I enjoy all of them and always gain alittle something from them. Thanks
Wilberts! Love that junk yard amazing! My junk yard I use is so disgusting it’s a obstacle course! Can’t even move around in it and so unorganized! Great investigation Big O’! Your a cool dude!
I had same thing happen to me with a John Deere 3800 Telehandler. Ended up talking with a guy in Germany to find out that 1 relay out of 26 relays was just a jumper. Employee had been swapping around relays because of a clicking sound from relays.... Not sure what bill ended up being but it had the original service call (90 minute drive 1 way), Trucking to bring it back to shop & my time working on it (including dealing with JD because of bad wiring diagrams).
Eric that was awesome. I was hollering every you told us. Understood your Whole process. Dr. 0 Your my favorite Can't wait till you hit a million subs. I'm 1 of your first subs. Love the tow truck vid with your brother.
The way you efficiently and methodically diagnose issues, even simultaneous issues, is simply amazing. You would make a great instructor if that's something you're interested in.
ERIC, WE ALL LOVE FOR YOUR TECHNICAL ABILITY ESPECIALLY YOUR BATTERY MAINTAINER STEP AND THE MOST ORGANIZED APPROACHED TO ATTACK THE MULFUNCTION IN THE MOST ORIGANIZED WAY ON UA-cam. IT MUST THE LOVE OF MRS. O.
Must have used that relay in another application. Replaced it with the shunt in order to use the same fuse box. Another mechanic who did not understand put a relay in place of the shunt and compounded the problem.
Always a good day with a trip to Wilbert’s, we have two in my area and you’re right need something it’s the place to go, unless you needs a door mirror, couldn’t find a good one there.
Man o man, without that bonus PCM in hand that could've been a rough diag. Having two issues along with needing to clear the code to verify really can compound the head scratch.
Oh how I miss Wilberts. With nothing else to do at school i’d find reasons to walk those isles. Maybe i’ll have to make a trip back just for fun. Cheers!👍
Great diagnosis, been in the trade for 50 plus years, now in Ontario there are not alot of you pick parts, mostly crush cars. Your salvage yard looks great.
Great idea having the rock surface so much cleaner than the Pick-A-Part yards made of dirt here in So Cal. Unless you drop something small and it disappears.
My parents have a 2010 model year of this car with the same 2.4L. It has over 230,000mi on it and still being driven. Original engine and powertrain. No major issues other than routine maintenance/service. Back before Hyundai/Kia came out with the GDI engines in the 2011 and newer models with engine issues.
South Main Auto Repair does it again, great job! My friend and I spent every weekend going to the scrapyard, you can learn a lot while there. Thanks for taking me down memory lane every visit to Wilbert's U-Pull it.
Love seeing the process. Thanks for sharing. In 2019 I bought wife a new 2017 Elantra "Limited Ultimate" off showroom floor. It was discounted 8k because it was 2 years old. It had 25 miles on it. I bought it for 21k +dealer BS) 25K out the door with a full 10 year warranty ( covers electronics/navigation, fancy headlights, heated seats etc.) 4 years all ive done is change oil every 4-5k miles. GREAT CAR . 35-42 mpg with a Atkinson engine design. 6 speed auto. Port injection.
That's the trouble when someone starts messing about . Trying to fix one problem. Then creates another. Good job you can get hold of wiring diagrams .A God send . 👍👍👍
Man where was this info before I went through 4 duralast MAFs, good timing tho, after OEM it's been 4 years, and sure as shit I got the P0101 again this week, right when smog is due too. I'll be taking your advice and verifying the circuit this time. As an OEM MAF lastng 4 years doesn't sit right with me. Thanks for everything you do, I knew watching your videos I'd pick up some relevant info I could apply.
Eric you have the gift of circuit plumbing in your brain. Nice find and discovery. I wonder if + or - voltage hit the control wire with the wrong relay plugged in?
Wilbert's pick and pull rest home for vehicles. The mechanics last resort dream paradise !!! The place you go for much needed salvation !!!! The day is saved and it eliminates headaches and makes the customer happy with the cost savings !!!😄🥳😺 Just a VIN reprogram and hello inspection sticker !!!

A relay is a relay is a relay...... What?
Not anymore.😂
Worked on a few Hyundai and they certainly can be a bit weird.
Great video Eric.🤙
Yep, I can also do those ECMS. Keith is a good guy and will get it all fixed up

That deer was one great mechanic 😂
Did the deer say come at me bro I deer you
Poor car😮😂😂😂🎉🎉
Poor de[a]r!
I'm laid up in the hospital just got out of surgery yesterday and nothing better than a good old south main auto video to take my mind off things.
Hope you have a speedy recovery when I had surgery sma was a go too as well
Get well soon!
@@MikeKrumbs thank you

Wow, an early one, my coffee isn't even ready yet. That was a good one. Even a trip to Wilberts.
Son of a gun, that diagnosis was actually fun. Keith is a huge asset to the automotive community.
I've got a 1995 Blazer that I keep running. I should get rid of it but when I get it going again it puts a smile on my face.
1975 C20 crew cab long bed 350/4speed. Gets lotsa looks now that it's ancient. I almost sold it to a coworker before I got sick. Sure glad I didn't let it go.
Wilbert's the most famous junk yard in the world!
Yes i know it and am 5000miles away so a bit much to travel Eric is the master detective in the world as well.
That was some absolutely brilliant diagnosing, Dr. O.
Looks like many others had attempted to figure this out and failed. They just needed to call the Big Guns at SMA!
I love it every time you say, "that's interesting"😊
Always, and I mean always check which hole!!
I really like that you use the junkyard as a parts source. Very cool!
Eric O, I love watching your videos, especially when Mrs. O makes an appearance. I've mentioned this to you before but I'm not sure if you read my suggestion and don't want to use it; or you haven't read it yet. If you do see this, mention it and I'll stop but for now allow me to offer my suggestion for a new sign off. "Remember folks, if I can do it, you can do it. If we can't do it, we'll get Mrs. O to do it. 🙂
That parts yard is a gem. Treasure it.
A trip to the yard. I know it's going to be a good video even before watching. !!!!
You can do diagnostics better than 99% of techs out there. Navigating electronics is not easy. Great video
Probably 99.9% 😂
It's always a fun ride when you troubleshoot these odd codes.
"Run down to the junkyard", here in Canada that is the dealer. Actually, we call them the KaBoom dealer, for their engines that dynamite at 75mph sending your Spyundai into a spin on an icy highway.
Lawnmower man is at it again.

Eric, i love the way you get excited once the so called light comes on! And bobs your uncle!
I think you're the most skilled mechanic I've ever seen including on youtube.
Watch Wes Work and Diagnose Dan aren't far off in their diagnostic skills and detailed explanations.
20 yr Hyundai tech here. I retired Hyundai and went independent so I’m going off memory.
That generation Sonata was the most expensive to fix in my opinion but always kept running.

Great diagnostic, Eric! Very clear minded approach!
When is a relay not a relay? When it's only a shunt, to use the same harness in a different vehicle model! Nice trap for young players 🙂
Love watching you process through the issue and come to the correct diagnosis.
That junk yard is so neat and organized. Unlike the ones around me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Bonus Video with the PCM change over. I was seriously curious. AND your ability to diagnose these days, is getting kinda scary. When the planet collapses, you are definitely welcome on my ship as Head Mechanic : )
Wow its just a jump wire in a relay style box i bet they went to a junkyard and just assumed it was a relay so they just grabbed another relay 25:17 nice find Eric O @South Main Auto Repair LLC
"y'all make darn sure you know what's goin in what hole". Words to live by, sir... lol
A trip to Wilberts and the lawnmower guy. My day is complete :)
Eric I’ve decided the only way I could continue to drive my older Duramax van would be to move close to your shop!
Makes me so glad we don't have inspection. I would have never guessed changing a bad part to a good part would make it fail.
Eric as always your logic and deductive reasoning gets the job done.
Thanks for taking us to Wilberts again.
Eric, I love your vids. Not only are they hilarious, but they are informative. I learn a lot. There is always another way to do things. 30 years in the trade, also instructor. Your sayings, Ericisms are what we share as well.
I use some of that Eric O. Dictionary (as my fiancee would say) from time to time
Whoa fella!
Ope man down
Ope there's yer (REAL?) Problem, lady
-- not a sponsor
Ohhhhh yeah another wilberts field trip love it !!!!
Oh, we love us some jubk yard. Thanks Eric. :-)
Diagnosing the problem and talking to the UA-cam audience, and still had time to holler " CHEVY THUNDER " 😂😅 love it
Eric is a master of his trade and a very good teacher of all things automotive repair.
Used to own an NF body Sonata with the V6. Had a 2.4 version once as a loaner. Was very glad to get my own car back.
One of the advantages of living in South Alabama. It doesn’t snow . And our cars don’t rust out
I'm astounded how you can troubleshoot while yakking the whole time. I get totally locked up when doing that, I almost forget to breathe. I experience mental and cognitive stalls where I'll freeze in the middle of the sentence or similar. But then again I see you're great in troubleshooting, and I'm not too shabby myself either. Highly interesting. It seems that human mind has several approaches to this kind of thing.
Sometimes talking out the problem helps me to rationalize whats going on. It makes me slow down and think, since my brain out runs my mouth.
Awesome diag. Never seen a “relay” that is just a jumper terminal
What he is basically doing is saying out loud what he's thinking... that's why these are so good, you can follow his train of thoughts step by step.
He has the gift of gab.
I am also like you.
No UA-cam for me.
That’s the difference between rookie level and experienced level.
The best is at work again, and again you nailed it. Too many parts changers out there that can’t fix things. It takes smarts and a person who lives his work to do what you do Mr O ! Really enjoyed the PCM repair video also. Another great repair tech in another trade that relates to auto fixes. Dam good stuff !!
I learned something new today. Never saw a "Jumper" in a relay. Good ole Wilber's auto/truck land.
Good one Mr. O.
I love when you take us to Wilberts 😁

Thanks Eric, I watch every video you put out, mostly on the job while fixing my own NY state rusted crap. I enjoy all of them and always gain alittle something from them. Thanks
wouldn't be an SMA video without a random "CHEVY THUNDER!"... =) great video as always
at 5:45 on the diagram of the control relay it shows a direct pass out of relay,no control,just a pass through,great diag as usual.
Wilberts! Love that junk yard amazing! My junk yard I use is so disgusting it’s a obstacle course! Can’t even move around in it and so unorganized! Great investigation Big O’! Your a cool dude!

Upullandpay Denver is where I go for a fun treasure hunt. One of my favorite things to do on a nice day!
I was just following a Wilberts premium auto parts truck just south of Erie pa a couple of hours ago, thinking, man that name sounds familiar
Just watched L1a working on this board. Can’t wait to see fellow UA-cam shop helping SMA!
Eric that was awesome. I was hollering every you told us. Understood your Whole process. Dr. 0
Your my favorite
Can't wait till you hit a million subs. I'm 1 of your first subs. Love the tow truck vid with your brother.

Yes, an instructor position with full retirement benefits and health insurance.
As though as Mr. O we'd love going to Wilbert's on your videos , That place is a gold mine .
Your wisdom and experience fortify your logic as you investigate a confusing anomaly.
Refusal, Eric, you're very good, you're very thorough. You double check yourself and you're honest.
Thank you for being that.

Over my head but the way you explain it makes it enjoyable to watch and of course learn something
Another reason why you the Best youtube tech out there!! Excellent job as always, keep the videos coming 😂
Drove out to wilberts in Rochester and was not disappointed! So much better than the junk yards in Massachusetts
Trip to Wilbert's first thing in the morning, great way to start a day!
My parents have a 2010 model year of this car with the same 2.4L. It has over 230,000mi on it and still being driven. Original engine and powertrain.

Amazing and amusing both at the same time. Eric, I wish there were a few talented Mechanics like you where I live. You are number one.

It's funny Hyundai still list that part as a "relay" . That was fun to watch. Thanks.

A mystery solved. Good job.

17;30,, I'm in love. You are an absolute LEGEND Eric O............. Legend.
Oh hell it 5 am. I just sat up all night watching your videos. And reading comments😮😊
Another great video, had never seen a decoy relay before.
I love my local U-Pick It yard. Cheaper admission than Disneyland and way more fun. You can spend all day there.
The BEST VIDEO EVER! Great info Eric! LOVE THE CHANNEL!
I wouldn't have guessed that was just a jumper!! 🤔
Excellent as always!
Amazing. You are as curious as I am. Relay that’s not a relay! Who knew?! I probably would have just tested the relay, not ripped it apart. Watch this channel continuously. Consistently interesting.
I learn so much here. I want a job!
Impressive thought & reasoning process. Allways informative.
