2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Electrical System Problems

Upon starting the car, it made an audible "pop", and the dash indicated to check the 12V power supply and "low available power" with a turtle indicator, and an "EV!" warning lamp. The car struggled to accelerate out of the parking lot, and within a minute, the dash displayed a "power failure" message, and the car lost all ability to accelerate while on the road, forcing an emergency pull-over. The 12V system completely failed while waiting for a tow truck, complicating the already poorly-documented and complicated process of disengaging the vehicle's automatic parking break for loading onto the flatbed trailer. The dealership performed diagnostics and confirmed an ICCU failure. After waiting for parts and technician availability, the ICCU was replaced with part number 36400-1XAA0-AQQH "ICCU Assy" and returned to me 32 days later.

Car gave a "electrical error" message and would no longer charge at any charger. It slowly lost power and eventually stopped driving fully on the highway. The dealer says the ICCU is responsible. I inquired if this recall was not fixed already, they said it was but can still happen and the ICCU is not resolved truly, the software is just a temporary fix according to them. The vehicle will need a new ICCU.

The 2022 ioniq 5 was bought used with 43k MI and within 2k miles of driving in 50-85F climate and 7kwh l2 charging I witnessed the orange check EV light flash while I was driving on the highway. I exited and powrr cycled the car and the EV light remained. The next morning the orange check EV light was gone. I went to the dealership for a diagnostic and they said they could not replicate the error code or had found any history of the error code coming up without proving to me or showing me any substantial evidence that they tested for anything at the Escondido Hyundai dealership in California. I escalated the issue with Hyundai corporate and was assigned a case manager that ultimately gave me the same answer that they could not replicate any codes and that I should take the car back and drive normally. After extensive research I found that the orange check ev light is a more dangerous sign than the red check ev light because it indicates that the ICCU unit is about to fail. Research shows that due to thermal stress the ICCU will inevitably fail after the orange check AV light comes on. Further research shows that Hyundai had officially stated a 1% failure rate for the ICCU unit in all of their EVs built on the e-gmp cars to date but some projections are at 10% failure rate or higher and that Hyundai Kia is downplaying the issue similarly to how they tried to do the same with the Theta 2 GDI engines that they had been sued and were responsible to pay over $300 or so million dollars as well as $24 million to a employee whistleblower a few years ago. I highly suggest that the nhtsa or other organizations that have the power to force Hyundai Kia to do the right thing so that no further lives are at risk from these ICCU units that have flawed designs that have not been fixed,only remedied via software update or replaced with refurbished units at the most with inevitable failure as thermal stress is experienced.

The ICCU has failed for the 2nd time in a year requiring lengthy repairs. The car cannot be driven with a faulty ICCU. The ICCU is responsible for converting AC power to DC for and stepping it up to 800 volts to charge the primary battery. It is also responsible for keeping the secondary 12 volt battery charged.

My ioniq 5 EV experienced an integrated charge control unit (ICCU) failure. A couple days prior to complete failure, we were unable to charge the vehicle using either level 1 or level 2 chargers. Our local Hyundai service center advised us that it was likely an ICCU failure and was unsafe to drive, due to the possibility of sudden loss of drivetrain power. The vehicle was towed to our local service center (CardinaleWay Hyundai El Monte in El Monte, California) and the ICCU completely failed after arriving at the service center. The vehicle is still at the service center and we have been advised that there is a nationwide shortage on replacement parts, with backorders of weeks to months.

ICCU failed second time wednesday february 18, 2026. First ICCU failed November 2024 and replaced under warranty. The car went in turtle mode.....20 mph or less. Limped along safely on side of roadway and used sideroads. The dealer says the ICCU and fuse need to be replaced. The dealer wants me to pay for this part, third time is a charm? I don't think I could ever trust this part again. They want to give me the exact same part they gave me when the ICCU failed b4. There were 2 messages: stop vehicle and check power supply ......check electric vehicle system. They were timely and made this failure a bit safer. The dealer inspected the vehicle but not the manufacturer or anyone else. The car is at Balise Hyundai Fairfield CT I BELIEVE 10% OF THESE ICCUs ARE DEFECTIVE.

For the past few days, our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (approx. 83,000 miles) has been unable to charge using AC charging (Level 1 or Level 2). The failure is repeatable and consistent across multiple chargers: two separate home Level 2 chargers, the Hyundai-provided Level 1 charger, and a neighbor’s Level 2 charger. In each case, charging either fails to start or stops shortly after initiating. DC fast charging continues to work normally. Component/system suspected: The problem appears related to the vehicle’s onboard AC charging system (possible ICCU, onboard charger/OBC, charge port/inlet, or related high-voltage charging components). The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: This creates a safety concern because we cannot reliably charge the vehicle at home or at most public charging locations (which are predominantly Level 2 AC). This increases the risk of unexpectedly running out of charge and becoming stranded in unsafe locations, especially where DC fast chargers are not available. Reproduction/confirmation: The issue has been reproduced on multiple independent AC chargers, making it unlikely to be caused by a single EVSE/charger. A dealer appointment is scheduled for diagnosis and confirmation. Warning lamps/messages: When attempting AC charging, the vehicle reports a charging failure/unsuccessful charging condition (exact message UNKNOWN). No prior warning lamps were noticed before the issue began (UNKNOWN). This issue appears to be widespread based on numerous similar owner reports of AC charging failure on Ioniq 5 vehicles while DC fast charging still works, suggesting a potential systemic defect in the onboard charging/ICCU-related hardware.

ICCU Failure . Car stopped in the middle of the highway. I was able to move over thankfully to the side of the rode. Went into turtle mode and then it had to be Towed to my local Hyundai Dealership

The Dealer states my ICCU has failed and will be replaced. My vehicle could no longer charge on AC power (level 1 or level 2), and eventually had to be taken to the dealer because it could not be charged at home any longer due to the ICCU failing.

My car is one of many Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles that has experienced an ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. This results in a car that is not drivable, and generally needs to be pulled over within a few miles, as it no longer can be driven above about 35 mph. It also will no longer charge on AC charging (level 1/2), since the ICCU is needing to convert AC -> DC to charge the main battery. This is a very well-known problem that Hyundai is addressing in only a piecemeal fashion. Here is a very long thread about this issue: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Ioniq 5 has a known issue with a part called the ICCU. When the part fails, which it seems to inevitably do despite multiple recall repair visits and software upgrades, the car ceases to be driveable. In advance of this moment when your multi ton vehicle turns into a brick you get a short warning saying pull over, but that is not always possible. The car starts loudly beeping and reduces its max speed to 12 mph, which is not great on the freeway. The ICCU is a huge safety problem, a known issue that Hyundai is well aware of, and the part needs to be redesigned and the NTSB needs to force Hyundai to extend greater warranty protections for this event. This just happened to me, the dealership says they have 8 other ioniq 5's in with the same issue and I am number 9 on an ioniq 5 iccu loaner car waiting list while the part is back ordered for at least one month. My car stopped at a stop light and fully blocked an intersection when it bricked as I came off the freeway, was super scary to sort out in the middle of the road and I was very happy that my twin toddlers were not in the back seat, i was not so happy I had to pay to have the vehicle towed and arrange a comedicly complicated way to pickup my kids due to this known issue parts failure.

After pre warming the car in the garage, I left for work. Three minutes into the drive I heard a single popping sound from the passenger side rear of the car. I then received an error on the dash "Stop Vehicle and check power supply". I them drove 4 more miles to work with the hazards on. Two hours later I attempted to drive it to the dealer and it stopped .5 miles away. Hyundai had it towed the rest of the way.

While driving vehicle it flashed warning to check battery and power was severely reduced, limited to about 25 mph. Battery and EV warning triangle appeared. Then within less then a minute it brought up additional warning to "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" and power was further reduced to less than 10-15 mph. Car now also displayed turtle icon. After safely getting to parking spot vehicle began to shut off critical systems or displays intermittently before eventually fully shutting itself off.

Unable to do AC charging due to faulty ICCU. A failing ICCU is dangerous to drive as the car may lose all of its power

ICCU failure 5 days ago. Needs to be replaced and the part is on backorder.

I first noticed something was wrong when the car only charged to 90% even though I set it to 100%, since I wanted it ready for the storm. I drove normally after that. When I tried to charge again, the breaker tripped. L1 charging also tripped the breaker. V2L didn’t work either. The weird part: the orange light was still on, and it was still charging the 12V battery multiple times. I have a battery monitor and everything looked normal. I was also able to drive the car to the dealer with no issues at all. No warning lights or errors on the dashboard. Dealer diagnosed it as an ICCU failure. Part is on backorder with no ETA

The ICCU failed. The car is at the dealership, availability of the failed part is unknown. The vehicle was no longer able to charge the battery. This could have happened while driving. The dealership has confirmed failure and will replace when a new part is available. Unknown if part has been inspected by others. Hyundai case has been opened. There was no warning. Indication of problem was breaker tripping at charging.

This is an EV vehicle. This is a recurrent problem with the Ioniq 5 and is all over the internet. For me this is the 2nd electrical failure. The first time the accessory batter failed and the ICCU controller failed and had to be replaced. Now its at the shop for the 2nd time for the same failure. Not sure if its the ICCU again or not. In and of itself not a problem to send it off to fix, The major issue is how it fails. There is no warning, If you are on the highway going 70 mph it goes flat... no propulsion. This gives you no or little power to get to a secure spot. It then is only capable of about 20 mph. This is dangerous as hell. The first time it died completely and wouldn't move. For myself, i was lucky i was on a local road. I was driving. For my wife, who drives this car it would be harrowing. This is a recurring problem with this vehicle. A solution has not been found other than to swap parts. Hyundai need to be put on notice for a permanent fix.

My vehicle experienced a failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which rendered the vehicle inoperable and required towing to the dealer, where the ICCU failure was confirmed and the vehicle remains available for inspection. The failure created a safety risk due to sudden loss of drivability and the potential for the vehicle to stop unexpectedly. The dealer has stated there is no estimated time of arrival for the replacement ICCU and no loaner vehicle has been provided. A similar ICCU failure occurred approximately one year ago (February 2025) and was repaired within one week, which is why it was not previously reported. Warning messages and drivability issues appeared prior to the failure.

On January 19, 2026, the vehicle lost power while driving and required a tow to the local dealership. After inspection, the dealership determined that the ICCU was at fault and needed to be replaced. The ICCU part was backordered. The vehicle was inoperable for 6 weeks as we waited for the part to be available and installed.
