So about 10 mins ago, the EPS light came on in my 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and now the car won’t turn off. The engine isn’t running, but the radio and lights are still on. Anyone had this issue before?
Yeah, I had something similar happen with my Sonata. It turned out to be the ACC relay getting stuck. You might want to check that.

Thanks for the tip! Do you know where I can find the relay to check it?

It should be in the fuse box under the hood. Try swapping it with another relay to see if the radio turns off.
I’d also check the power distribution module. That controls a lot of the electrical stuff like ACC, IGN1, IGN2. Could be acting up.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought of that! Is that something I can test myself or should I get a mechanic involved?
Have you checked the multifunction switch? If it’s set wrong, that could mess with the radio and lights staying on.

Good idea, I’ll check it. I’ve had the switch set to auto, but I’ll try messing with it and see what happens.
This could also be related to the push-start system. If the power distribution module or push-start button is faulty, it might not turn off properly.

Yeah, the push-start button definitely feels like it’s part of the issue. I’ll try disconnecting the battery again and see if it resets.
