INSPECTION
OPERATION TEST
Fuel-fired heater operation test by force using Hi-Scan
1. Start the engine.
2. Connect the Hi - Scan to the vehicle.
3. Select "SORENTO" and then select "FUEL FIRED HEATER".
4. Select "04. ACTUATION TEST" mode.
5. Select "PREFILLING + HEATING" to conduct the performance test after replacing the fuel fired heater system.
Fuel supply and heating will be initiated if the "F1 key STRT" is pressed.
However, a repair or replacement of the components related to the fuel line system in the fuel- fired heater were not
done, operate the component by force after selecting the appropriate item from the menu screen.
Do not operate the system by force with selecting the “ PREFILLING + HEATING ” option if no repair for the
fuel line relating components has been done.
This means the fuel is in the fuel line.If an excessive fuel is supplied, it may cause smoke and abnormal
"Banging" noise when the fuel is burned.
If the "F2 KEY STOP" is pressed, operation test is stopped.
For self - diagnosis test and sensors outputs during compulsory operation test, press "ESC KEY".
When a self - diagnosis test is completed, disconnect the self - diagnosis connector or press "F2 KEY STOP"
from the "PREFILLING + HEATING" menu to stop the compulsory operation.
In case of selecting the individual part (ex. Combustion air fan, water pump, ), press "ESC KEY" to stop the
test.
In case of selecting the "PREFILLING + HEATING" option, about 2 minutes are required to conduct cleaning
process after pressing the "F2 KEY STOP".
It is a normal process to burn the fuel left in the fuel line.
6. To conduct self diagnosis test, press "ESC" and then "01. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES" option.
7.Select "02. CURRENT DATA" to view the current status of the components.

Component test
1.Using the Hi - Scan, conduct component test after selecting "FUEL FIRED HEATER" and "ACTUATION TEST"
mode.
2. After conducting component test, perform self - diagnosis test.
3. It is recommended to conduct the fuel fired heater system test after completing the component test.
4. Test values for glow plug.
Resistance : 0.324 W ~ 0.360 W
Current : < 5mA

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM REMEDY
Fuel smell Check fuel system on vehicle.
Check the fuel supply line in the fuel fired heater for fuel leaking and
fuel hose for twisting or clogging.
If none of above is affected, there is likelihood of fuel leaking from the
heater inner. Repair the heater after removing it.
Heater does not work at full load Repair the heater after removing it.
White smoke occurs continuously during
operation Repair the heater after removing it.
Shortage of coolant
Smoke occurs during operation
Excessive exhaust gas smell Check coolant hose for leaking, twisting and hose clamp for looseness.
If above items are normal, leaks from the heater inner may cause these
symptoms.
Repair the heater after removing it.
Loss of fuel Check fuel system on vehicle.
Check the fuel supply line in the fuel fired heater for fuel leaking and
fuel hose for twisting or clogging.
If above items are normal, there is likelihood of fuel leaking from the
heater inner.
Repair the heater after removing it.

Positive Temperature Coefficient Heater

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater (A) is an electric heater using a PTC element as an auxiliary heating
device that supplements deficiency of interior heat source in highly effective diesel engine (U engine).
An electric heater heats up the interior by directly heating the air that passes through the heater.
PTC = positive Temperature Coefficient
The name itself implies that the element has a proportional resistance change sensitive to temperature. PTC heater is
installed at the exit or the backside of heater core.
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
ECM outputs a PTC on signal. Operate PTC from 1st setting to 3rd setting with an interval of 15 seconds.
Heat up the air, which passes through a heater core.
OPERATION CONDITION
Judge the condition by ambient temperature is below 5°C, coolant temperature is below 70°C, and battery voltage is
above 11V and engine RPM is above 700RPM.

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative(- ) battery terminal.
2. Recover the refrigerant with a recover/ recycling/ charging station.
3. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
4. Remove luggage side trim(Refer to BD - ).
5. Loosen the refrigerant line mounting bolts, and then remove the rear refrigerant line(A).
6.Remove the heater hose(A), drain hose(B).
7.Remove the rear heater main connector(A).
8.Loosen the rear heater mounting nuts, and then remove the rear heater unit(A).

9.Remove the heater core mouting cover(A), after loosening the screw.
