This 2015 Hyundai Sonata FINALLY BROKE *P0010 Cheap And Easy Repair*

Hyundai repairs are the best repairs! Whether it's a complete engine swap that only takes a couple hours start to finish or a simple fix like this E-CVVT cover it's always well thought out, cheap, and easy. This 2015 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4L is setting code P0010 ("A" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)). The plug in the end of the camshaft actuator fails and causes oil to enter the cover, creating an intermittent fault with the actuator. To fix it you just need to replace the plug and cover and it shouldn't take long at all.

Any idea how long you can drive with this P0010 check engine light? Mine came on today, and I’m wondering if I can make it to the weekend without any major damage. Thanks!

[@hardlymovingpro]

I've torn down and rebuilt these Theta II engines due to spun rod bearings, semi-seized oil pumps and stuck piston rings. My conclusion is everything starts from the piston rings. Carbon builds up between the piston ring grooves and rings (low quality oil/too long between oil changes), the rings get stuck and no longer scrape oil off the cylinder walls; hence oil burn/consumption. The driver/owner doesn't keep tabs on the engine oil level, the oil pump begins to lose pressure (and the balance shaft bearings start to wear) and finally the connecting rod bearings wear out/spin due to lack of oil from the oil pump. Some tell tale signs: 1. Engine knock on cold starts (pistons are rocking inside the bore until engine warms up) 2. Engine knock on acceleration (piston connecting rod bearings worn or wearing out).

My 2015 Sonata had this exact problem. I took it to the dealer where I bought it new (thankfully) and the factory insisted they change the interior seal only. As you can guess, it didn't fix it. The whole assembly with cover needed replaced just as you showed in the video. They did that and the problem was fixed. All done under warranty (there was some kind of a class action lawsuit that basically forces Hyundai to warrant the engines forever to original owners at least) so no cost to me. Yay! But it was very nice to know exactly what needed done before even going to the dealer. THANK YOU!!!

Only complaint was the 2012 to 2015 sonata. It was always a pain to change the rotors since when you remove the brake caliper the bottom bolt was stuck between the sway bar link and the wheel bearing. You can't just loosen up the rotor you had to remove the sway bar which involved taking of the shock since the shock is in the way of the sway bar. It only takes 30 minutes each side but bit of a hinde sight for the engineers for just 1 12mm bolt.

Had dealer oil changes until 2010 and then switched to Mobile 1 full synthetic with STP Extended filters since. The clear coat on top the front and rear bumpers are starting to flake some but everything else is near perfect. I always buy good tires and it handles like a go cart. Not as good as my prior Corvettes but really good for a 4 door. 2007 was the best power to weight ratio version. 137HP, 2800 pounds. 36 mpg on 87 octane and enough room for 4 adults and 4 sets of golf clubs. Trans fluid was changed at 30k and then 100K miles, both times with OEM fluid. It isn't flashy or super fast but it is semi fun the drive and seems to be super reliable.

Nice fix Mr. Ross. "Do me a favor though..." Please use/get some mechanic's carts and part's holders. Putting parts on the floor freaks me out. If you haven't yet, you or a compadre will kick a key part and either break it, lose it or trip and fall over it. A nice wheeled cart with some magnetic trays would make me feel much better. "And just remember, if I feel happy you will feel happy too."

Ha! I was thinking the same thing! Especially when he was swinging that brand new $95 cover out in open space with one hand. You must be a football fan too ... cover up that ball man!!! ... don't run with that ball in one hand out in free space!!!

I have a Hyundai Elantra 2019 with a 2.0L engine. It has 281000 miles on it and still going strong with no major repairs needed yet. It burns a good amount of oil but keep it topped off and the thing just keeps going.

[@jesseystout3395]

My grandmother had a 05 explorer and it didn’t go bad until it hit 365k. She only did oil changes and that’s it

[@undnrchevys4810]

Blue Aztek in the background??? Hmmm I put a supercharged 3800 in my friends one...

I have a 2020 Palisade and love it. People rag on Hyundai and Kia but I have a phenomenal warranty and only 1 complaint about the infotainment system, but it is very adequate. All things being considered they are super nice and reliable.

[@benny6219]

You have a 2020 give it some time.

[@vdittycc]

Absolutely a junk suv my sister has one bought it new it has 40k miles and oil is burning already junk

[@benny6219]

I have a 2012 Kia Sorento EX nothing but trouble burns oil I have nothing good to say about it only that it's a nice looking SUV. I also have a 2015 hyundai Sonata limited both vehicles are 2.4 engines and this vehicle also burns oil and there's always a check engine light that comes on it always needs something to repair. I would advise anyone that buys these vehicle is to get rid of them when you hit 55,000 miles in order to save you from constant problems. I will never buy these vehicles again if you want to keep your sanity buy a Toyota.

[@vdittycc]

@benny6219 yes agree I SAID the same. The warranty is over at 60k and they know why. Engineering to fail

[@karlgarber5665]

280,000 plus Km's few basic repairs no engine or tranny issues, very reliable

[@ericpowell9836]

I have a 2005 sonata with a 2.7l v6 with original engine and transmission with 275,000 miles on it

[@chriskostyk1753]

[@a1shabba266]

[@dustytanco6917]

I own a 07 tiburon gt i feel same way about vs my Mitsubishi 3000GT my tiburon is 50x more enjoyable to work on requires 80 times less needed repairs also.. Hyundai, kia are amazing cars

[@greatpix]

Since you like Hyundai so much you should someday see if you can visit their US headquarters in Fountain Valley, CA. I used to drive by the place all the time. There's also some of the best Cars and Coffee meets in the US in Huntington Beach, CA early Saturday mornings and you get guys from the manufacturers, and even designers like Chip Foose, who show up there.

Just a thought, wouldn’t impact sockets be safer than the chrome sockets you’re using on those Mac Daddy Milwaukee impacts?

[@sebastianrc5024]

Any videos of how to replace the alternator on this year model? Cool videos by the way.

[@mikeshandiservice4246]

I've had 3 Hyundai's started with an 89 excel then a 93 elantra and an 06 accent

[@Get_yotted]

This 2015 is also the fully loaded Sonata, so of course it has all the bells and whistles

[@martinmasman6541]

Hey! Thanks for the video. I have a 2016 Sonata 2.4 as well. It only has close to 65k miles though, will it be ok to just replace the plug, or should I replace the cover too?

[@darioibarra8681]

Do you recommend intalling the plug into the cover before installing the cover? Another comment said rtv outside plug? Thanks for great video.

[@stevejoyce1464]

Hi, you did a great job of describing how to clear this code. I followed the steps, I THINK just as you suggested, but the code keeps coming back immediately. I think the wiring and connections are all OK. Do you have any other suggestions on what to do? My codes come back as confirmed, pending AND Permanent, and they come back immediately - maybe at most 3-4 seconds after clearing and starting the engine.
