Description and operation

Description

Installed on the front-end module, the Ambient Temperature Sensor (ATS) senses the ambient temperature. ECM receives the intake air temperature and ambient air temperature at the same time to precisely control the intake air quantity supplied through the turbocharger. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and vice versa. This sensor has a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) and its resistance is in inverse proportion to the temperature.

Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Switch "OFF" the ignition.

2.	Disconnect the ATS connector.

3.	Measure resistance between the ATS terminals 1 and 2.

Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Removal

1.	Switch "OFF" the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Remove the front engine room under cover. (Refer to Engjne Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")

3.	Disconnect the connector (A) and then remove the ambient temperature sensor (B).

Installation

Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.

1.	Install in the reverse order of removal.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: ATF Warmer

Description and operation Description • Engine coolant is used for circulating heat in order to heat and cool the transmission oil. • Rapidly elevates the transmission oil temperature during the initial cold start of the engine. • Prevents over heating of the transmission oil while the vehicle is moving.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Headlamp (Low/High beam) bulb replacement (Headlamp Type A)

■ Head lamp - Type A 1. Remove the service cover clip on the wheel housing. 2. Remove the headlamp bulb cover by turning it counterclockwise. 3. Disconnect the headlamp bulb socket-connector. 4. Remove the bulb-socket from the headlamp assembly by turning the bulb-socket counterclockwise until the tabs on the bulb-socket align with the slots on the headlamp assembly.
