Component Inspection: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Kia Niro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
HEV battery system uses high voltage.
It may cause death or damage due to electrical shock, if you do not follow below Instructions.
It may cause death or damage due to electrical shock, if you do not follow below Instructions.
- Follows instructions of appropriate service information.
- Wear and use insulated gloves and tools.
- Ignition "OFF", Disconnect ground cable of auxiliary battery and "OFF" the safety connector of the high voltage battery.
- Check high voltage terminal on Power Relay Assembly is lower than 30V.
- Be careful that it should not be short between terminals when measuring battery cell voltage.
You may be injured due to spark, parts damage or electrical shock.
- Metallic material cause high voltage short that may cause damage of life or vehicle. Therefore, get rid of all the metallic material before working. (Metallic Material: Watch, Ring, any metallic products etc.)
- After disconnect high voltage cable, be careful not to happen short between exposed terminals on high voltage connector.

Good
- Fault might be intermittent and caused either by poor contact in connectors or wiring harness, or it has been repaired and control module memory is not cleared yet. Thoroughly check terminal of battery, all connectors (and connections) for looseness, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, and/or damage.
- Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF REPAIR " procedure.
No Good
- Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
- If problem still occurs, repair or replace Clutch actuator assembly and then go to "VERIFICATION OF REPAIR " procedure. (Perform "DCT Learning" in "Vehicle S/W Management" with KDS.)
- Replace "DCT" and then go to "VERIFICATION OF REPAIR " procedure. (Perform "DCT Manual Input Function (Transmission Exchange)" in "Vehicle S/W Management" with KDS.)
