1999 Hyundai Accent Service and Repair Manual
The 1999 Accent came as a four-door sedan and as a two-door hatchback, every one of them built around a single 1.5L four-cylinder, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim combination — the specifications in it are the ones Hyundai published for this car, not values carried over from another Accent model year.

Known issues on the 1999 Accent. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the automatic transmission: the pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, and the resulting slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces. Owners have filed 66 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 39 technical service bulletins.
From tracing a slipping automatic transmission to a scheduled service on the 1.5L four-cylinder, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your 1999 Accent.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE SEALS DO NOT REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY ELASTIC, RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE. THIS LEAKAGE CAN RESULT IN REDUCED PRESSURE APPLICATION TO THE CLUTCHES, BRAKE, AND KICKDOWN SERVO, ALLOWING THEM TO SLIP.
SUCH SLIPPAGE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE FRICTION ELEMENT SURFACES AND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE, OR NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED, WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE.
