Where is the electric drive motor located?
Mounted between the engine and transmission, the Electric Drive Motor is used for vehicle propulsion. During deceleration or braking, it acts as an alternator and charges the HV battery by converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electrical energy.
When does the battery go down on a 2013 Sonata?
UPDATE: October 9, 2012– A friend who owns a 2013 Sonata spoke with his dealer in a different state and city. He did not let the dealer know he is aware of the memory fuse. He asked about the battery going down in a short time.
What causes a battery to go dead on an ECM?
Battery drain or dead battery A failed ECM power relay can also cause a battery drain or dead battery. If the relay shorts it can leave power on to the computer, even when the vehicle is turned off. This will place a parasitic drain on the battery, which will eventually cause it to go dead.
Why does my alternator make my battery bloated?
The battery is fat, or swollen. The manufacturer designs your battery to have a specific footprint, and if the battery swells in size, you should be able to see it. If you have a bloated battery, the alternator has a faulty voltage regulator and has over charged the battery.
What should battery voltage be for DTC p0562?
Battery test. Battery voltage should be 12.0 to 12.6v and should maintain the voltage without dropping. Significant reduction in voltage indicates either a battery failure or a large parasitic draw, both of which can cause DTC P0562 to set. You can also test the for proper battery voltage to the alternator.

Can a lead acid battery leak power like water?
Also, batteries don’t “leak” power like water can. What we’re dealing with here with a lead acid battery is a plastic box that encases a delicate balance of chemicals which are ready to interact with each other to produce electricity when the load is applied.
What happens to a battery when it is uncharged?
But if a battery sat, uncharged, severely discharged, and/or drained for extended periods of time, the sulfation will increase in size and harden onto the plates. This covers the surface area of the plates, removing the chemicals needed to produce power.
