Just a follow-up and a THANK YOU.
Some months ago, I posted some codes I received from my local parts store concerning a "hard shift" transmission problem (and associated Check Engine light) with my Santa Fe.
You gave me a couple of suggestions on which sensors needed replacement.
Well, I took a copy of my posting and your response to my local mechanic and he said he'd give it a try so ordered the parts.
He discovered that one of the sensors was located underneath the battery. I had replaced that battery a couple of week prior to this because it just died. What I didn't know is that my old battery (which was not the original but a cheap replacement) had a leak, dripped on the sensor and ate it up!
He replaced that eaten-up sensor as well as another one that you suggested and, a measly $130.00 later, my car is like new again and my faith in the quality of Hyundai cars is restored.
Thank you!
