Thank you for posting this. Would be awesome if all auto technicians are as honest and efficient as you.

Its nice to watch this man . he knows what the hell he;'s doing As a matter of fact its TIME FOR A RAISE

I appreciate you showing what is involved in checking the clearances. Lots show the rest but not that bit. Good video.

Just started at Kia today and I did this for the first time it’s good to see a video like this to keep it fresh in the memory. Awesome content

This video saved my life. Thank you seriously, I was going through it 😂

I want this guy workin on my cars.

Hey my friend you're a good mecanic i have the same problem in my Kia .

Dealership charged me for a knock sensor replacement and 300 miles later the engine started knocking. They crooked me. If they had checked the rod bearing clearances they would have known that the bearings were bad. They caused me to be stranded 200 milesfrom home. Still waiting for the Hyundai case manager to call. If the dealership doesn't make good on their failure, I'm going on social media to do as much damage as I can to their business.

That clearance tool is innovative and cool, amazing invention. Do they ever do an oil analysis to check for contamination?

Just got the p1326 code!!! Wish I could bring my car to you!! You know you stuff!!

Man it would be super helpful if there was a mechanic or manager at my local dealership who gave a crap about doing warranty work. I've been having nothing but issues with this dealership for this same exact code being thrown and I'm going on two weeks now with no vehicle, no rental, and they have yet to look at the car. I appreciate your video and how helpful it was to at least somewhat understand what could possibly be the issue with my vehicle, but my local Hyundai's service team as well as service manager are all absolutely ridiculous.

My 2018 Kia optima 2.4 the engine light would come on only when it rained or I took it to the car wash replaced the knock sensor myself and it turned out to be a knock sensor wire was split from the factory!!!! Also the crc intake and valve cleaner works awesome!!!

Great video, keep up the good work.

Thank you for the video very helpful

This videos is the best explained so far great job how much does a job like this cost?

Just dropped my 2016 Optima off at the dealership for this same error. Good to understand what’s going on with it. Thanks for the video!

This video is awesome. Thank you

Great video! Very helpful in determining my 2015 Hyundai issues…P1326 code alerts….

Very good information and explanation,8 months ago remplace a crankshaft,rods and piston on a 2.4l Hyundai with the same code after that remplace knock sensor and harness from sensor to pcm(I use sand paper to give more tolerance in the crankshaft part main and rod bearing to avoid the original problem..

Thats awesome thanks for this video

Thanks for the video. What preventive measures can an Hyundai Owner do? Also, have the journal oil flow issue been corrected with the newer models. What weight oil do you recommend since there are 3 different weights listed in the Owners manual all are suitable for the NJ area?

Same problem I have thnx for video

Great stuff.

New friend here. Liked the video, i have 2017 tucson. Looking forward to watch all your vids soon. Stay safe.

Check out those temples.... that's a fresh fade homie. Oh thanks for the video too

Great job brother Thanks

Hey there. Great video and great info! My mother in law just had this issue on her 13 sorento. Also, at 2500 miles into the oil change, it was very low! Consuming oil is my guess. Kia did all tests and check bearing clearance and said all was good. My huge favor question to you is: What tolerances are considered acceptable and what's bad?? 0.003 good, and 0.005 bad? I am not sure. I dont know their tolerances and I'd like to know if she is on the cusp of bad things happening or not? Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi I got the p1236 code for my 2019 Kia Sportage, 75k miles, would this be covered by my warranty, I recall Kia saying they covered 100k but not sure if they try to play hardball

Question if I can do it myself but don’t have the ability to reset it what do you recommend and why is it so important

Excellent video. I'm not a Hyundai tech and this is beyond helpful to me. How often do rod bearing oil clearances open up on Hyundai's that they need a expensive special tool just to check them?

Hello, is there any other way to reset adaptive values without forking out over 300 bucks for a adequate scanner?

Is the GDI cleaning the same as a Carbon Cleaning? Also is it necessary for 2014 Sonata Limited 2.0T ??

2016 Hyundai Sonora Hybrid. Only 34,000 miles. Well maintained. It was 99 degrees F, family of 4 going 65mph on freeway. Engine running smoothly. Dashboard normal. SUDDENLY, gas pedal was useless! Semi-trucks & cars everywhere! Grateful my son was able to get onto the shoulder & stop. Could have been horrible!!! Could not drive car at all. Dash lit up with large words (I have a photo but don't know how to add it): "Check Hybrid system. Turn off engine" Also showed Orange Triangle with explanation point at top, containing these letters: "HEV" Also showed "AUTO HOLD" below all of that. The steady (non-blinking) "Check Engine" light came on later. Spent over an hour in desert heat waiting for $980 tow to nearest dealer. Today, dealer says Code P1326. I had "Campaign 966 Engine Monitoring Logic" installed Nov. 2021. Dealer wants to install new Knock Sensor ~ $700. This is not my regular Hyundai Service location. That would add a $600 tow. I read this entire thread. No one else mentioned, "Check Hybrid system. Turn off engine". Loved my car but now it frightens me. Looking for guidance on what to do. Thx.

Hey I was going to try this can I reset the Adaptive values with the mx808 scanner

I have seen other videos where the code on the vehicle was P1326 but their repair was to replace the intake runner motor which should have been code P200A for the runner. Do Kia and Hyundai have a problem with their computer system???

Is this on a 2.0L engine? If not, how much different would it be on a 2017 Kia Sorento 2.0L Turbo? Can't seem to find that specifically online. Just the 2.4, for some reason.

A few days ago i went to get an oil change and my car went into limp mode on the highway this morning. I checked the oil and it was overfilled and now it’s at the dealership getting looked at smh my question is could this happen from my oil being overfilled? It’s the only thing I could think of and the enigine has less then 50k Km

mine done this last night with 68,000 miles.....i havent called the dealer yet but i hope its something this simple to fix and they dont blame me for something :( it done it all of a sudden while driving home from work.

I'm getting a pinging noise on an Accent 2013 16L when going uphill - I think the knock sensor CEL came on once, but it was reset and it did not return. But I still get the pinging noise / spark knock. What is best course of action?

Seems like Hyundai found a way to screw people with this update by making it a requirement to be able to be eligible for the limited lifetime warranty. These dumb judges and lawyers fell for it. All the update does is make the knock sensor more sensitive to try and save an engine that has already started to fail by putting it into limp mode. This should of never been a campaign but a recall on all engines for safety reasons. They also lied in the owners manual by stating they recommend oil changes at 7,500 miles for normal use and 5,000 miles for more heavy use but all these engines are burning a quart of oil every 500-1,000 miles leaving the car bone dry by the next oil change. Rod bearings are failing because of the way the engine was engineered. It is a faulty engine that is bound to fail no matter what a consumer does to try and prevent it. These am engines were built to fail by design.

I agree with you they the dealership did it to me ,too on my 2016 veloster . I bought it new from WORLD Hyundai dealership in Matteson,Illinois.They lies about the real problem with the car to avoid honoring the warranty.(Louis Burks)😮

hey good vido. do you think if i replace the crankshaft and piston will eliminate the oil consumption on my 2018 kia optima 2.4l? thanks

Bought my 2018 hyundai sonata at carmax back in the beginning of April 2021 with 41k miles on it... So now July 31 2021 my car has p1326 knock sensor issue.... Hyundai told me that my car is on recall list and I'm sure it's under warranty, so hopefully I get it in to them and don't have to pay for it. What do you guys think?

Thank you

Thank you for sharing this clear and to the point explanation of this code and test! We have a 2017 Santa Fe 2.4L that was just towed and sitting at the dealership waiting for this check Monday morning. I did a quick check with my code reader and it’s got the P1326 after flashing the CEL and going into limp mode a short distance before getting home. Nice to know what they should be doing. Question - to engines that fail the clearance test, are they always making noise or does this pickup the issue before they die? Take care!

Got a question for you, our 2013 Kia Optima with the 2.4 got the SC147 recall done back in 2018 however I'm 95 percent sure the engine is blown on it. Is there anything that can be done since the recall was already complete? Kinda sucks that the recall was done and shortly after the engines decides to quit with 120k on it.

What’s the app you used to read codes?

this came up as soon as we drove 2013 sonata in snow with chains on. Checked with a mechanic who was able to reset it, does this require further action? P1326

we’re you losing gas and having problems accelerating w a blinking engine light ? I have a 2016 Kia Sorento 107,000 miles car drives but have parked because engine light blinking and gas has been getting eaten Knock noise is very low but you can hear it but not when drive kindve goes away getting towed in morning What do you think?

Where could I find that rod bearing clearance tool. I have searched for it but havent had any luck. Thanks.

Got a p1326 on the wife's car this evening, looked it up and saw this is what it is. I'm glad to see their is a recall on this. Hyundai cars are a piece of crap. 0n her 2011 sonata the tail light bulbs are always going out, when you try to change them out it's a pain in the ass. The dashboard has cracks all over it, and of course there is nothing they can do about it. The passenger seat belt receptacle doesnt work, they want $300 plus to replace it😏.

I have a 2014 Kia optima 2.0T and I got this code two days ago I’m hesitant on if I should change the sensor myself I’m the second owner of the car and I don’t know if this already happened to the first owner and if he already took it to the dealer to get dealt with

Wait so were you getting a knocking sound from the engine at all? Did you hear anything whileengine was running?

I'm wanting to purchase this entire tool the Sylvac with the probe setup can tell me any other information on this specific tool setup or a tool number of some sort thanks

I chatted with a mechanic that does these repairs.. He said at one time it was nothing to have 25 waiting to be repaired. He said Hyundai cut the labor hours and it is about impossible to make anything doing these jobs. All the good mechanics are quitting and going elsewhere.

My son’s 2014 Sonata has the same code. How much was the repair on this? I saw Hyundai reprogrammed the computers in these cars as part of a recall, make the knock sensors overly responsive. Even using a non original oil filter can set them off. He just got an oil change.

How do you reset the adaptive values if you're replacing the knock sensor at home? If I clear the codes and possibly disconnect and reconnect the battery after install would it work?

Can you update the knock sensor if the engine doesn’t turn over or can you replace a knock sensor with a new one with the new update already installed on it? Or is there a way to somehow get the update by other means like extending the wire on the knock sensor and putting it into another car so the computer thinks that it was updated.

Please the name of the spanner you use to turn the engine

If you hear an actual knock/misfire would you suggest to replace all coils, plugs and knock sensors?

also caused by water at the sensor harness (let dry few days) or false KSDS alert - make sure Hyundai put the latest KSDS software variant, there were several improved versions of the software.

Question… I had the bearing clearance test done and they said they needed to add oil to do the test as the air was going around the cylinder due to a bad ring. Would this be considered a failed bearing test? Thanks

I just changed my knock sensor on my 14 sonata 2.0 turbo, but the engine light still blinks, do I need to have the dealership reset it??

question is their another way to reset learn adpater values with out a hyundai scanner

Thanks sir

This issue is covered by kia, they also have a 150,000 mile warranty on knock sensor issue and sometimes the engine would have to be replaced!. Don't be scared people, if your car is over 100,000 miles.

I need a video for placing a knock Sensor for a 2014 Kia Rio LX 1.6ltr engine.

How much does this cost around to get this fixed? My car just started doing this. Please respond thank you so much

Great video. I have knocking sensor error on my Hyundai Elantra and I cannot drive it more than 30km before the code comes back. The bearing test is passing but I have a knocking noise coming from the engine and Hyundai don’t consider my car having issues even after sharing with them a video where they can hear the noise and the VIN of the car. Any advice ?

Thankfully we have a 2020 Tucson with the 2.0 I hope this is a good one. It gets the oil and filter changed by me every 3K.

Are there a few different knock sensors?

How was that tool measuring main bearing clearance? The way I’ve been taught the only way to measure main bearing clearance is by using a mic and a bore gauge or with plastigauge. Or is that like a compression tester?

Great video. Subbed. Is there any validation that tje GDI valve treatment has any benefit ?

I have a 2014 sonata with 84k , last night I went through a car wash and then got the blinking check engine light. Ordered the sensor and working on my car tomorrow, hopefully it lasts till 150k

That was tight

I just got a P1326 code with a flashing Check Engine light on a 2016 Santa Fe 2.0. But the only symptom is that the car doesn't accelerate past 35 mph, no knocking, etc. I read the TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) and it says that the issue is the Knock Sensor Harness...If that's the case, I can just swap harnesses...or should the dealer do this?

Was there any follow if the concern ever came back?

I bought a sonata 2.4l 2018 in April this year I didn't know a about the recall, or the claim settlement against hyundai American motors it closed in July this year but my vin is included in the settlement pretty sure dealer who sold it to me knew about it should I complain to consumer protection or am I wasting my time should sell the car ? I own it already its at the dealer getting diagnosed for knock sensor

I had this on my 2015 in the middle of a bad area. In limp mode I pulled over and had my scan tool with me. I looked up the code and erased it. I don’t know if I really need to address this or not?? It’s been a few months and it seems ok. 133k with new engine at 78k (seized).

Dirty injectors can cause the flashing check engine light. Did a pressure feed fuel injector cleaning service by removing the FI fuse, detaching the FI line from the HP pump and connecting a quart container with FI cleaner concentrate pressurized to 50 psi to my air compressor. Ran the car for around 10 minutes till the cleaner ran out. Test drove, problem solved.

I have a 2014 well maintained with 2.4 almost 50,000 miles and have the code back for a second time (the last at 25,000 the dealer said if was the wire harness and replaced it. Now the scanner says “glow relay short circuit.”

12 DCT Veloster went into Limp mode w/ flashing CEL. Dealer said it passed bearing test and they replaced the nock sensor. It went into limp mode again after about 30 miles. They suggested a combustion chamber cleaning. Limp again on 20 mile mechanic test drive. Now they suggest replacing the front wiring harness at $7500. This sounds like they have no idea. Where do I go from here? 143000mi

Please i have the same check engine light flashing with code p1326 glow relay stuck on, please i need your help

Hey i have the 2017 sonata limited. can i reset those values myself with a regular diagnostic tool? Or do i have to have a mechanic fix it?

I have a '14 kia optima. I just got this code couple days ago. Is it safe to drive it to the dealership? Or any auti shop.

How many miles did this to pick this car? Had to get a knock sensor?

I took my 2017 sportage with 105,000 miles to the dealer for the P1326 fault they checked the bearing clearance it passed. Then they installed a software update and fixed it. No charge covered under extended warranty. Just sharing with everyone that might need to know.

My 2022 Hyundai Kona N has P1326 code active. Is the Knock Sensor on the 2.0T engine visible upon opening the hood?

I have a 2014 Optima and developed this issue. What is an estimate to repair?

I have a ‘15 Kia Soul + and I’m having the same issue with my car. I ran the obd scanner through it & it says that I need to replace the knock sensor (bank 1) and the glow delay stuck on.

Where did you buy that tool ? If it’s companies which tool is it

We picked up a 2015 Sorento today and it's throwing this same code. No abnormal noises that we can hear. Test drove the car yesterday with no problems and zero codes, not even pending. All monitors were set too. After about 7 minutes of driving it today and it does this. We hope it's nothing major.

I only get this problem when it snows, rains or if I drive through a car wash. Have you heard anything like this before? I went to the dealership and. I’m told I already have the software update. Please advice

Where did you get that bearing clearance tool from?

I have exactly the same problem ( code) , I just drop off my car in the dealership but how much cost?

How much did this service approximately cost the customer? Did you ever see the price of something like this service done with the part included

How much does that service cost. Because I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.0t and it’s is pulling p1326 and p0014 codes

My car is a 2016 hyundai accent se and have 66,000 miles and still no problem with the knock sensor

My check engine light started blinking on Saturday I have a 2011 Kia Optima… did a test on it with same code … dealerships said it would be up to 2 weeks before they can look at it !! It turns on but has a terrible knocking sound!!!!

I have a 2014 Santa Fe Sport with 2.4L that this happens to when ever it rains. I brought to my local Hyundai dealer and they said they ensured the engine is not knocking and cleared the code. They said other than that there is no fix for the problem and because I'm second owner of the car that it wasn't covered under extended warranty for this issue. Of course it rained two days later and it happened again. It has happened every time it rained the last two months. Does their diagnostic make and sense to you? I reached out to Hyundai Care and they told me to bring it to a dealership (which I had said I did). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
