P0652 on Hyundai by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
A sensor inside the EGR valve may have been contaminated with solder flux during supplier manufacturing and can short. Because the EGR valve and crank position sensor share a power circuit, the short can turn on the check-engine light or cause a sudden loss of motive power, which increases the risk of a crash. It affects certain 2024 Hyundai Venue vehicles with the Gamma 1.6L MPI engine built January 12 – March 4, 2024 (2,364 Venues; the recall also covers some 2024 Elantra and Kona). Hyundai campaign 260. Only a Hyundai dealer can confirm whether a specific VIN is included and whether the repair has been done.
Common Symptoms
- Check-engine light comes on
- Sudden loss of power while driving

Frequently asked questions
What does P0652 mean on a Hyundai?
P0652 stands for "Sensor Reference Voltage "B" Circuit Low." P0652 sets when the PCM/ECM detects that the "B" 5-volt sensor reference circuit has dropped below the expected voltage (typically a short to ground or an overloaded feed). Sensors powered by the B reference then read incorrectly, which can trigger additional sensor faults and cause the engine to run poorly or enter a fail-safe strategy. On Hyundai it is documented across 1 model: Venue.
What are the most common causes of P0652?
The most common causes of P0652 are: Short to ground in the 5V reference "B" wiring, Failed sensor on the B circuit pulling the reference low, Corroded or wet connectors creating a low-resistance path, Chafed harness contacting the chassis/ground, Internal PCM/ECM reference regulator fault. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P0652 on a Hyundai?
Repair costs vary widely with the root cause and Hyundai model; each issue on this page carries its own estimate where one is published.
