"Refill Inverter Coolant" warning after Battery Pack Replacement

Hello everyone. 2 weeks ago, I had my lithium-ion battery pack replaced under the recall. Now, I keep getting a "Refill Inverter Coolant" warning message, that goes off sometimes, only to return at some point the next day. Looking under the hood, the coolant reservoir is at the max line. Is anyone else having this same issue? Thanks!

 

Thanks, electriceddy! I had previously called my dealer & made an appointment about this, but they seemed surprised about this issue. I then cancelled the appointment, as the warning message went away. But now, it keeps coming back, on & off. I didn't want to take my car there, and the warning message doesn't display for them, and then they tell me nothing is wrong. But yes, I will phone them & tell them that this issue only started after the battery pack was replaced.

 

Thank you for this info. I have never been notified of any coolant pump recall. Entering my VIN # on the Hyundai Canada recall website does NOT list any coolant pump recalls.

 

Well, yesterday the dealership did the Inverter Coolant Air Bleeding Procedure, and topped up the reservoir. They said the vehicle was not showing any trouble codes. They also said that nobody else is reporting this kind of problem. But today, my Refill Inverter Coolant warning message came on again. It's very annoying, as it stays on and covers up the whole digital speedometer display. Anybody else having this issue, or is it just my bad luck?

 

Thanks for the info, KiwiME. Ugh, yes, I will have to make another appointment with my dealership and tell them that the issue still persists. My reservoir is full, so I think either air bubbles, defective sensor, or coolant pump issues.

 

Thanks for this info, gonfunko. Yes, please keep me posted if your dealership finds a solution to this problem. I will do the same. This warning message is very annoying, as it is big and covers up the whole digital speedometer display, until it decides to go off, only to return some time the next day.

 

Hi gonfunko, I'm sorry to hear this. I haven't yet been back to the dealership to get them to figure out why the last bleeding procedure still did not fix this issue. I beginning to wonder if they're not going to be able to figure out the problem. Thanks for keeping me updated, and I will do the same. Honestly, I'm wondering if there can be some sort of software patch to "ignore" this coolant sensor, so the warning message doesn't appear any more. As I can easily look at the coolant reservoir under the hood, and quickly & easily see that it is full to the max line. Have a fun & safe trip to the Grand Canyon!

 

Dealer looked at my car today, and thinks the sensor inside the Electronic Water Pump is not working properly. So they have ordered a new water pump, and will phone me once it arrives. They said there are 2 water pumps, but will replace this one first, and go from there. But from what I have read on other forums, replacing the water pump does not solve this issue.

 

Sorry to hear of your warning issue too. After waiting for two months, Hyundai dealership phoned me to say that a new coolant pump has arrived, and that they would like to replace my coolant pump under warranty, as they feel that this is the issue. But in the last two months, my warning light has stopped coming on, so I feel that it was air in the system that finally made its way out. I mentioned this to my dealership, but they still wanted to replace the coolant pump. But I told them that I would rather wait to see if this problem returns, because I feel that it was just air in the system, and if they replace the coolant pump, I feel that air will be re-introduced into the system again, making the warning light come on again.
