Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Power Door Lock Switch

Repair procedures Inspection Diagnosis With KDS 1. The body electrical system can be quickly diagnosed for failed parts by using vehicle diagnostic system (KDS). The diagnostic system (KDS) provides the following information. (1) Self diagnosis : Checks and displays the failure code (DTC) (2) Current data : Checks the system input/output data state (3) Actuation test : Checks the system operating condition (4) Additional function : Other controls such as the system option and zero point 2.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Air Cleaner Filter

Repair procedures Inspection 1. Remove the air cleaner element. 2. Check that the air filter is excessively dirty. If the air filter is excessively dirty, replace the air cleaner element. 3. If the air cleaner element needs to be cleaned, blow compressed air as shown in the illustration to clean it.
