Description and operation
Description
•

UD clutch control solenoid valve is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) type.

•

When TCM supplies variable current to solenoid valve, hydraulic pressure of 4&OD clutch is controlled directly by solenoid valve.

Repair procedures
Inspection
1.

Switch "OFF" ignition
2.

Disconnect the main connector (A).
3.

Measure the resistance between power terminal (22) and signal terminal (28).

Specification : 5.3 ± 0.3 Ω

Removal
  
•

Maintain clean condition so that foreign substance does not get into the automatic transmission.
•

Use a coated apron, latex gloves, and stainless tray to prevent foreign substance from getting into the transmission.

1.

Remove the under cover.

(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover").

2.

Remove the ATF drain plug (A), allow the fluid to drain out and then reinstall the drain plug.

Tightening torque :

22.6 - 24.5 N·m (2.3 - 2.5 kgf·m, 16.6 - 18.1 lb·ft)

  
•

ATF can be reused. Collect it in a clean beaker.

•

The existing ATF drain plug O-ring must be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse it.)
3.

Disconnect the main connector (A).
4.

Remove the valve body cover.

(1)

Loosen the all valve body mounting bolts except for the bolts (A) in the corner.

Tightening torque :

13.7 - 15.7 N·m (1.4 - 1.6 kgf·m, 10.1 - 11.6 lb·ft)

(2)

Loosen the two bolts (A) in the corner after supporting the valve body cover on a jack and then remove the valve body cover by lowering the jack slowly.

  

Be careful when removing the valve body cover because the remaining ATF remains in the valve body cover.
5.

Remove the valve body assembly (A) after loosening the bolts.

Tightening torque :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

6.

Remove the E-module (A) after loosening the bolts.

Tightening torque :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

  

When installing, after mounting the E-module, lightly tap the connector part (A) to insert the connector certainly and then tighten the bolts.
7.

Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (A).

Tightening torque :

11.8 - 13.7 N·m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf·m, 8.7 - 10.1 lb·ft)

8.

Remove the pin (A).
9.

Remove the UD clutch control solenoid valve (A).
Installation
1.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

  
•

Check the code (oil pressure characteristics value) at the first before installing the solenoid valve.

•

Check if the pipe (A) is inserted on the marked area before mounting the valve body assembly.
2.

Perform the procedures below after installing.

(1)

Refill the automatic transmission with fluid.

(Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid")

(2)

Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the KDS. Disconnecting the battery negative terminal will not clear the DTCs. Clear DTCs using the KDS at all times.
(3)

Reset the automatic transmission adaptive values using the KDS.
(4)

Perform the oil pressure characteristics input procedure using the KDS.

(Refer to Hydraulic System - "Oil pressure characteristics input")

(5)

Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure.

(Refer to Automatic Transmission Control System - "Repair procedures")

(6)

After installing, check for leakage of fluid from hose connection during engine start.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Emergency liftgate safety release

Your vehicle is equipped with the emergency liftgate safety release lever located on the bottom of the liftgate. When someone is inadvertently locked in the luggage compartment, the liftgate can be opened by doing as follows: 1. Remove the cover. 2. Push the release lever to the right. 3. Push up the liftgate. WARNING For emergencies, be fully aware of the location of the emergency liftgate safety release lever in the vehicle and how to open the liftgate if you are accidentally locked in the luggage compartment.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Automatic transmission operation

The automatic transmission has 8 forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or death: ALWAYS check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for people, especially children, before shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
