Standard Ignition SC330 is listed for 1999-2015 Hyundai and Kia models, including 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra, Sensor Only, 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata, 2003-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, 2004-2008 Kia Optima, and 2013-2015 Kia Forte Koup.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Erratic or inaccurate vehicle speed readings
• Speedometer operation issues
• Transmission shift concerns related to speed signal loss
• ABS or drivetrain fault codes tied to speed sensor input
• Intermittent sensor signal caused by connector or internal sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and bolt-mount location before installation. SC330 uses a single rectangular plug-in connector and does not include a wiring harness, so the vehicle-side connector should be inspected for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs. Confirm the exact application notes, including Sensor Only for 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra and w/o Gear for 2001-2003 Kia Optima.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for import vehicle applications, and SC330 is built to match the listed fitment and connector style for the specified Hyundai and Kia models.
