Summary

This bulletin provides instructions to correct a condition with BSC-1 blue coolant flow restriction by debris causing abnormal high EWP (electric water pump) speed in certain 2020-21MY Ioniq Electric (AE EV) and 2019-22 Kona Electric (OS EV) models. Vehicle symptoms may include "Coolant supplement” or “Refill Inverter Coolant" warning light On. No related DTC are found stored. Normal inverter coolant reservoir tank level is confirmed. Special tools are required for this campaign to flush and clean debris from different cooling system circuits. The coolant will be replaced by updated BSC-2 low conductivity blue coolant.

C24. Use an air gun to clean the filter and filter
case of the equipment, removing any foreign
substances:
1. Blow the filter from the inside to the
outside using the air gun.
2. Pay special attention to spraying air
between the filter gaps to remove
foreign substances effectively, as
there may be a significant buildup in
these areas.
3. Skipping this step may result in
decreased flow rate and reduced
cleaning effectiveness of the
equipment due to foreign substances
being stuck in the filter.

NOTICE
Use an air gun to inject air with precision
into the gaps of the filter's inner wall, as
sludge may be stuck there. Rotate the
filter to ensure even spraying.
