The 04 Santa Fe came with three different engines. 4 cylinder (2.4 lit), and two different V6's (2.7 lit & 3.5 lit). The 2.4 & 2.7 use throttle cables connected directly to the throttle plate, but the 3.5 uses ETS (Electronic Throttle System) which uses two sensors (APS & TPS) and a control module (ETSCM). APS=Accelerator Position Sensor, TPS=Throttle Position Sensor, ETSCM= Electronic Throttle System Control Module. There are different diagnostic procedures for each system.
Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #.. you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, campaigns, illustrations and procedures, etc.

    hey ghost45 thanks for the quick reply.
    this is a 2004 santa fe with a 4 cylynder 113 hp engine, CRDI. (diesel) it has a sensor on the gas pedal, no cables. I took it out to find a part number or anything and can see anything on it.

    Unfortunately, I don't have access to european trim models (diesel), only gasoline engines (U.S. trims).

I have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. The low fuel light came on after I put in 3/4 of a tank of gas. Then the light went off, and all seems fine. It was a 100 degree day when this happened. Could that have been...

Well anything is possible.
The low fuel sensor for the warning light is part of the gauge in the tank. As long as the gauge works and the light does not come back on I would not be concerned. You may want to watch your mileage to make sure you don't run out of fuel if the gauge does fail.

Whenever it rains my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe will not run well. Today it sputtered and died several times. Now its running again that it has dried out. What is causing this?

We went through this with ours recently. Hyundai diagnosed it as a bad crank shaft position sensor. We replaced it and we're up and running again. Not sure why the damp weather affected it but it did.

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe problems- Help!

i have a 2004 hyundai santa fe and i've had the same problems. it's so random when it happens but it seems to be when its a bit warmer outside.. above 70 degrees. it's when i press the gas from a stopped position the car just almost dies. i've pulled out in traffic and thought i was going to get killed. then the car accelerates and the tires squeal and the engine revs super high. the car jerks and its very scary. i bought the car new in 2004 and it started doing it after a few years and it still does it. it's not the gas pedal. it seems like a glitch in the computer or something. it's very dangerous!
