WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Part diagnosis
    Items Cause Symptom  
    Switch fuse Faulty fuse connection, Damaged fuse
    • DTC Code: P0504
    • Symptom: Shifting gear trouble, Starting failure, Cruise control function cancellation trouble, EPB function cancellation trouble, Stop lamp lighting trouble, ESP OFF light illuminated.
    1. A waveform inspection is performed using an oscilloscope on each part during vehicle acceleration/braking. (Refer to stop lamp switch circuit inspection procedures - "Inspect the stop lamp circuit ")
    2. (Refer to the relevant repair procedures - "Repair Procedures ") of the part when something abnormal is discovered in the waveform. (Refer to the - "Repair Procedures ") of the relevant part and if necessary replace it).

    Symptom (When the ESP OFF lamp illuminated) System Remedy
    (1) Power Supply (B+) (2) End of the Stop Lamp Switch (3) SSEM Input (4) SSEM Output
    Switch internal open (1) (3) (3) (3) Replace a new one and check it
    Switch internal short (1) (1) (1) (1) Check the stop lamp switch after removing it
    1. Switch failure: Replace a new one
    2. Wiring failure: Check part that could be the cause
    SSEM internal short (1) (2) (2) (1) or (3) Check the SSEM after removing it
    1. SSEM failure: Replace a new one:
    2. Wiring failure: Check the part that could be the cause
    SSEM Internal open (1) (2) (2) (3) Check SSEM after removing it
    Power supply open (3) (3) (3) (3) Check the power supply connector or the fuse
    Power supply short (Current reduction) (1) (2) (2) (1) or (3) It the power supply line Is shorted. SSEM ON-OFF may not be operating well due to the amount of current reduction. Check the fuse damage
    Failure; between SSEM and output (1) (2) (3) (3) Check the connector and the wiring
    Failure between SSEM and Stop lamp (Not operating the stop lamp. No signals on GDS) (1) (2) (2) (2) Check the connector end the wiring
    (1) Always ON
    (2) ON - OFF operation
    (3) Always OFF
