What's wrong?
The instrument cluster on these 2025-2026 Hyundai vehicles is the screen and gauge unit in front of the driver. It shows speed, warnings, gear status, and other driving information. On models including the Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, Ioniq 5, Santa Cruz, Kona, Palisade, Santa Fe, Sonata, and hybrid variants, that display is controlled by cluster software and a power management processor.
The problem starts with electrical noise inside the PMIC processor. That noise causes the system to read operating temperature incorrectly. When the cluster thinks the temperature is outside the proper range, its thermal protection function activates and reboots the instrument panel display. During that reboot, the cluster goes temporarily blank while the system restores itself.
There is no warning sign before failure. The display can blank out during driving without an earlier message, light, or symptom that tells the owner the reboot is about to happen.
Who's affected?
Includes gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants across Hyundai's Sonata, Tucson, Palisade, Santa Fe, Kona, Ioniq 5, and Santa Cruz lines, all tied to the instrument panel.
