Navigating The Hyundai WebTech System

Introduction / History

The Hyundai Service Technology Website, the key component of which is WebTech, is a online version of the InfoTech Service Information system that Hyundai Dealerships have at their disposal. The database is constantly updated to provide the technicians and DIY Hyundai owners the latest in Technical Service Bulletins (TSB), shop manuals, How To's and schematics for Hyundai models.
At present, Hyundai is the only automaker that allows the use of their technical data open freely to the public.

There are two versions. The Dealer one and the Consumer one. This guide refers to the consumer one.

The following is provided as a guide on navigating/customizing Hyundai Webtech to find information on your specific vehicle the first time you visit it. This way you would be able to search the database more accurately for any specific problem/solution you may be encountering with your vehicle. You can use the following quick access links to sections within this guide.

Note: Unfortunately, HMA choose to use coding that only IE can use and thus, other browsers might not work/show the frames/links correctly. You can navigate WebTech without these programs but you will not be able to see all the contents, especially diagrams, pictures, etc. WebTech will NOT work with Firefox.

Accessing the Webtech Interface:

Once you click on the link you will be presented with the Welcome/Login screen.
(Since June 2005, access to the Hyundai WebTech site requires a username and password).

Login:
Accessing WebTech is done through the main Welcome page. You log in by entering your username and password in the appropriate textboxes. (If you do not have one, you need to set up a new account, see below).

If you have forgotten your password, click on the "Forgot your password?" link and you will get the following screen.

Once you enter your email and click on the "Send Password" button, you should be getting your password via email within a few minutes.

New Account:
If you do not have a username/password, you will need to create one.
1- You should already be at the main Welcome page.
2- Select the "Click Here to register for an account" link. (below the Login button).
You will then be presented with the following window.
