Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra Coupe owners report experiencing issues with yellow warning lights illuminating even when the car is off, which can lead to rapid battery drainage. This problem may stem from a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical system, potentially due to a bad battery, faulty alternator, or corroded cable posts. To effectively address these concerns, it is recommended that owners have their vehicle inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer to diagnose the specific cause of the battery issues and warning light activation. Furthermore, the technical manual provides insights into the meanings of various dashboard warning lights, assisting drivers in understanding the urgency of each situation. Owners also note that if the battery light is on, it typically signals a problem with the charging system, often linked to low voltage levels at the battery. Therefore, prompt attention to these warning signs is essential to prevent further electrical system complications and ensure the vehicle operates correctly.
