This procedure replaces the high-pressure power steering hose on 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson models equipped with the 2.5L I4 engine and AWD. Note: These vehicles use electric power steering and do not have traditional hydraulic power steering hoses.
Warnings
⚠The 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson with 2.5L I4 engine uses Electric Power Steering (EPS) with no hydraulic fluid or high-pressure hoses. This repair procedure does not apply to this vehicle configuration.
ℹ️If you are experiencing power steering issues, diagnose the electric power steering motor, control module, or wiring harness instead of looking for hydraulic components.
ℹ️Verify your vehicle actually has hydraulic power steering before ordering parts. Check for a power steering fluid reservoir under the hood - EPS models will not have one.

Preparation
- Verify the vehicle actually has hydraulic power steering by checking for a power steering fluid reservoir and pump - the 2.5L I4 Tucson uses electric power steering
- If this job was requested in error, diagnose the electric power steering system instead
- Park vehicle on level ground and apply parking brake
- Place wheel chocks behind rear wheels
Procedure
- 1Confirm Power Steering System TypeOpen the hood and verify whether the vehicle has a power steering fluid reservoir. The 2016-2024 Tucson 2.5L I4 AWD uses Electric Power Steering (EPS) and will not have a reservoir, pump, or hydraulic hoses. If no reservoir is present, this repair does not apply to your vehicle.
- 2Alternative Diagnosis for EPS SystemsIf experiencing power steering problems on an EPS-equipped vehicle, check for diagnostic trouble codes using an OBD-II scanner. Common EPS issues include faulty steering column sensors, EPS motor failure, or wiring issues. These require different diagnostic and repair procedures than hydraulic power steering systems.
Reassembly
- This procedure does not apply to the 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson 2.5L I4 AWD as it uses electric power steering without hydraulic hoses
Verification
- Confirm your vehicle's power steering system type by checking the owner's manual or visually inspecting for a power steering fluid reservoir
- If you have electric power steering and are experiencing issues, consult EPS-specific diagnostic procedures
