Engine start button light

[Johnboy2k10]

Hi All!

It just occurred to me today that I don't think I've ever seen the light on the engine start button illuminate on my Genesis.

When should I see this this light come on??

Have you checked the illumination button on the left side of your dash?? If it's turned down, it might be the cause for not seeing the light

We've had our car since Feb. and I have not taken the time to sit and work out the Korean logic behind the little light on the start button...but you are correct that it does not seem to be on when you might expect it to be....

It is definitely NOT on when the car is running. I know I have seen it on in other circumstances though...It may be on when you press the brake, but have not started the car yet, or when you press the button without the brake to get into ACC mode...

Without a logic diagram from Hyundai, you would have to sit and play with it to work out it's behavior...

You got me curious, so I found this on HMA Service website...

Start Button LED status

1. Ignition OFF, LED OFF
2. Ignition ACC, Amber color LED ON
3. Ignition ON (Engine OFF), Blue color LED ON
4. Cranking, Maintain LED status before cranking
5. Engine running, LED OFF

They need the extra current to run the Lexicon system.
