Neutralizing Of SMARTER

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The EMS can be set to the status "neutral" by tester

Ignition key (regardless of key status) is inserted and after IGN ON. If receiving the correct vehicle password from GST, SMARTER can be neutralized. The neutralization of SMARTER is possible if DPN is same as the value inputted by GST.

In case that the SMARTER status is neutral, the EMS keeps the lock state. And the start is not possible by "twice ignition".

In case of changing the vehicle password, new virgin transponder must be only used. And in case of virgin key, after Learning the key of vehicle password, it can be used.

If wrong vehicle specific data have been sent to SUMATRA three times continuously or intermittently, the SUMATRA will reject the request to enter neutral mode for one hour. Disconnecting the battery or other manipulation cannot reduce this time. After connecting the battery the timer starts again for one hour.

NOTE:
  • Neutralizing Setting condition:
    • In case of "SMARTER status", "Learned"
    • Input correct Pin code by tester
  • Neutralizing meaning:
    • Vehicle password (DPN Code) & SEK Code deletion.
    • Permission of New DPN Learning.
