We dont often see KIA’s as a general rule of thumb however today we took the challenge on for a local car dealer who was having issues selecting gear. Automatic gearboxes are nothing new to us but we have never performed a learn or adaptations on this type of gearbox fitted to this kia sportage.
Initially the customer had issues selecting Park and drive and this became worse overtime, we had a number of TCM faults stored. Firstly we recorded these codes and erased them from the TCM so that we could start a fresh.
Resetting the gearbox learnt values, we performed a relearn so that the gearbox and selector was reading the correct position as once a position was selected the gearbox was slow to react. After the re learn and a resetting of gearbox values we had a very responsive gearbox with none of the previous issues.
This KIA customer took advantage of our fully mobile diagnostic service and was located in lowestoft.
