Toronto, Ontario -- Hyundai Motor America now requires vehicles equipped with electronic components and systems to have a pre-repair scan and a post-repair scan following a collision.

In a recent position statement addressed to the collision repair industry, Hyundai “requires” pre- and post-repair scans on procedures that were only “recommended” to receive them in the OEM's 2018 position statement

The statement reinforces the importance of pre- and post-repair scans for repairers to be aware of any diagnostic trouble codes that may be present, regardless of whether “a warning light or malfunction indicator light is illuminated.” 

A pre-repair scan helps the repairer develop more accurate repair estimates before starting repairs by alerting the repairer to “diagnostic trouble codes or items that may be malfunctioning within the vehicle,” said Hyundai Motor America’s statement. The post-repair system scan confirms systems are calibrated and properly functioning. 

Hyundai Motor America requires a pre-repair scan to “ensure safe and accurate repairs” in addition to a post-repair scan to “ensure all systems and components are functioning, calibrated and communicating properly with no diagnostic trouble codes present.” The updated language is reflected in Hyundai’s closing statement, which values customer safety, requiring the collision industry to follow “the guidelines above for completing pre-repair and post-repair scans to achieve safe and quality repairs.”
