Why does it take so long to attach a video to the

tech line case?

The video may be too large due to the technician recording unnecessary

information.

How to prevent this concern: provide only the necessary information

(problem with the engine and the VIN plate).

id=315&docu_no=4092&search_param=%7B%7D&page_no=1

If I am reporting a concern for a new model or

creating a case for a service alert or a repeat

repair that does not need diagnosis, what type of

case should I open?

A quality review case is needed. Please indicate in your QR case if it is

a Service Alert , check the ‘Repeat Repair/Vehicle Down’ box (whichever

is applicable) and document the information in the case notes for the

agent that will take possession of your case.

I unlocked my doors and noticed my smart trunk

will not work.

Smart trunk will be disabled for 30 seconds after the doors are unlocked,

and if a door is opened it will be disabled until the doors are locked again.

Why am I being asked to attach a WRTY-143 or

WRTY-127 form to a repair assistance case?

Techline now has the ability to create PWA cases for the technician

based off of the repair assistance case. All necessary validation

information will need to be attached in the assistance case before the

PWA case can be created. Once all information is gathered, the agent

assigned to the case will create the PWA case.

Operation Principle:

In the near future Kia vehicles will come equipped

with Gas Particulate Filters (GPF), these GPF's

help to filter Particulate Material (PM) from the

exhaust gas using an integrated Particulate

filter in the Catalytic Converter. GPF have been

developed and offer an effective route to reduce

the number of ultrafine particles under all driving

conditions.

The operating temperature of a gasoline engine

is higher than a diesel engine. When the internal

temperature is over 1022° Fahrenheit, filtered

PM burns itself. Normally the component of

PM is carbon. It purifies to CO

after a chemical

reaction. The GPF is integrated within the

Catalytic Converter (shown below).

Front / Rear Temperature Sensor

The system includes a Front and Rear

Temperature sensor to monitor the exhaust

gas temperature differential. The ECU checks

whether the GPF is in normal operating condition

by comparing the temperature sensor values

with a modified value. If the system is abnormal

the ECU will set a DTC and turn on the MIL.

WIPER SYNCHRONIZED AUTOLIGHT CONTROL LOGIC

DRIVER ATTENTION WARNING (DAW)

STINGER WIPER BLADE MAINTENANCE MODE

On the Sorento (UMa), Stinger (CK) and upcoming K900

(RJ) models, the wiper operation is synchronized with

the automatic headlights feature to automatically operate

vehicle headlamps in reduced visibility situations. This

functionality can occur under the following conditions sending

an "Autolight ON signal":

• If Wiper Low or High is manually activated for over 5

seconds.

• If the driver selects wiper auto mode after detecting rain

drops and wiper activates for more than 2 times within 30

seconds.

• If the driver selects wiper auto mode before rain drops are

detected and wiper activates for more than 4 times within

60 seconds.

• If wiper OFF status is maintained for over 30 seconds after

manually activating the wiper.

If wiper operates less than 2 times for 60 seconds while in

either of the above control modes, then Autolight OFF signal

is sent after 2 minutes and the automatic headlight feature is

returned to its current setting (AUTO or MANUAL).

The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) is an advanced driver

assistance system that is designed to alert drivers in

certain situations when the system detects driver fatigue

or inattentive driving practices. The DAW system uses Multi

Function Camera (MFC) and vehicle behavior signals from

Steering Angle Sensor (SAS), yaw rate and G sensors in order

to analyze the driver’s driving practices. In certain cases,

the system can then issue alerts by means of text display

and audible sound

to advise the driver

to rest. DAW system

analyzes situations

such as over steering,

under steering while

monitoring the SAS

signals, while the MFC is

monitored to track lane

crossing and lateral

vehicle position variation in the lane. The audible sound can

be emitted through door speakers or instrument speaker,

depending upon trim level of the vehicle. This system has 3

settings, “High Sensitivity”, “Normal Sensitivity” and “Off”,

and 5 driver attention levels. It is when the drive attention

level drops to “zero” that the system alerts the driver to take

a rest. Factory default setting of DAW is “off” and customers

can enable it using User Setting in the instrument cluster.

Enabling

Conditions

Conditions that reset the

careless driving level

• Vehicle speed

> 40mph

• When engine is turned Off

• When engine remains stationary

and idling longer than 10 minutes

This article provides information on how to set the windshield

wiper blades on Maintenance Mode on 2018-2019MY Stinger.

When required to perform inspection and/or replacement of

the windshield wipers, move the windshield wiper blades to

the service position as follows;

1. Turn engine OFF, and move the wiper switch to the MIST

position within 20 seconds and hold until the wiper blades

are in the full up position.

2. Perform wiper blade inspection and/or replacement and

carefully return wiper arm on the windshield

3. Turn ignition to the ON position and move the wiper

switch to the MIST position, the wipers will return to the

normal operating position.

Please refer to PitStop PS299r2.

2018 Stinger (CK)

Concern examples:

•“We can’t get the clock to work and are unable to see it.”

•“Clock is not keeping time.”

•“Clock time is incorrect on new vehicle during PDI.”

NOTE: The UVO 3.0 platform is the first non-navigation

head unit that has a GPS module for date and time.

Specification:

“GPS date and time” on the UVO 3.0 will not get “picked up”

automatically on a new vehicle or after a loss of power to

the head unit. It is necessary to set the date and time in an

area with strong GPS reception:

From the Home screen, select Setup → swipe the screen to

the left → Date/Time → adjust date and time using the up

or down arrows.

Diagnostics:

Always test the vehicle in an open space with strong GPS

reception. Do not test this functionality in a garage or

covered area.

If no time is shown (area is blank) or there are dashes where

the time should be, check the following:

1. Confirm the vehicle has been driven in an open area and

time is still not shown.

2. Measure the voltage on the center terminal of the coaxial

connection at the antenna base connector on the harness

side with the radio and ignition on (spec: 5V to 6V).

3. If the voltage is not within specification, confirm the blue

GPS connector is connected properly to the back of the

head unit and that the pin is not bent or damaged, and

continue to check circuit integrity from head unit to the

antenna.

4. If voltage is within specification, consider a head unit

replacement.

If the clock is confirmed to be losing time typically after

sitting for a few hours or overnight, check the software

version of the head unit. A software improvement was

incorporated into production on July 18th, 2016 in software

version V074 or later. Clock improvement software is also

being applied at the Mobis Remanufacture Center so head

units ordered and obtained through Direct Exchange will

contain a countermeasure.

Please refer to PitStop PS564.
