U3555Hydrogen Tank B Valve Performance

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Can trigger limp mode
  • Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
How the car detects it
U3555 reports that the valve on tank B does not behave as expected although its circuit tests good. Leakage through the closed valve is one form. Hyundai patented a check for it while the car is parked: at wake-ups, hydrogen left in the supply line is fed into the stack with the tank valves shut, so the high-pressure reading should fall slightly; if it stays the same at each wake-up, the tank is feeding gas past the seal. The opposite is a valve that will not open. On the Nexo, venting for service closes the manual valve on each tank with a hex key, and a manual valve left shut afterwards would look like a stuck valve. No maker documents U3555. U3552 and U3558 are the siblings for A and C.
