Razer_Blaze 2nd Gear August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 My ride is the Elantra 2011 and I have encountered an issue when starting the engine. When I tried to start the engine, the interior meter lights and the Car Entertainment system turned on for a split second before going off again and the engine failed to start. The engine will not start when I tried to start it, throughout this time the Car Entertainment system and meter lights did not turn on. All of this is resolved when I open the car door and closed it, and everything works fine. So far I encountered this issue 3 times in the past 2 weeks. And each time it happens, I have to reprogram my settings again. Any Elantra owners out there encountered this issue? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but you should be banging tables at Komoco if this is happening 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I seriously don't think other Elantra owners can help you with this problem.

But if you have fixed some aftermarket car entertainment systems or similar stuffs, best to go back to where you last did something to your ride...

High chance it could be the immobilizer problem, see your owner manual see if there's instruction for a reset function. if not, bring it back to dealer and ask them to sort it out.

Hosaybo 6th Gear August 6, 2012 Share August 6, 2012 (edited) Yes, better go back agent and check. Possibility of immobiliser issue. if can start other times, I dun see anything wrong with the starter motor, batteries etc I have a similar case b4 (old car and not elantra) and the reason for that is the wire connecting the immboliser is going to break (connected by a few strands). So at times, my immobiliser cannnot be detected. there could be other possibilities and prob you need a goood mechanic to troubleshoot by slowly eliminating the possibilities.

Razer_Blaze 2nd Gear August 6, 2012 Author Share August 6, 2012 Hosaybo, I have sent in the car to the agent and the cause was loose electrical connections. Looks like a similar case to yours.

Kb27 Supersonic August 6, 2012 Share August 6, 2012 Since you mentioned opening car door and closing it to resolve, maybe it's just the door switch not closing/opening properly and the circuit prevents engine from starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
