Description and operation

Operation

Operation principle of inductive non-contact switch

1.	Use the high frequency magnetic field and the induced current that are generated by oscillation (to approved voltage) of coil in switch.

2.	The eddy current is generated on surface of metal by self inductance effect if there is metal in high frequency magnetic field.

3.	The eddy current that is generated attenuates the high frequency magnetic field as much as amount of generated by disturbing the switch's magnetic flux.

4.	ON-OFF by judging whether high voltage magnetic field is attenuates or not(caluculate the voltage difference by length between metal and coil)

3.	Stop lamp switch system diagnosis SSEM : Stop Signal Electronic Module

4.	Refer to DTC guide when the related DTC codes are displayed.

Repair procedures

Removal

1.	Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.

2.	Remove the crash pad lower panel. (Refer to Body - "Crash Pad Lower Panel")

3.	Remove the knee airbag. (Refer to Restraint - "Knee airbag (KAB) module")

4.	Disconnect the brake lamp switch connector (A).

5.	Pull the locking plate (A) as indicated by the arrow and then turn brake switch (B) 45° clockwise and remove it.

Inspect a removed stop lamp switch along the below procedures.

(1)

Confirm a normal connection with terminal part.

–	A confirmation can be made to see if the connector has been secured properly and if a connection mark is present.

(2)	Perform the inspection of parts resistance.

Installation

1.	Fix the brake pedal arm and insert fully the brake switch so that the contact part is invisible.

2.	After inserting, turn the brake switch 45° counterclockwise, and then assemble locking plate by pushing.

Confirm the gap between stop lamp switch and bracket.

Stop lamp clearancee (A) :

1.0 - 2.0 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.)

•	If the gap between stop lamp switch and bracket is not between 1.0 - 2.0 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in), check the mounting clip and other parts around the stop lamp.

•	If everything is normal, reinstall the stop lamp switch and check the clearance again.

4.	Install the stop lamp switch connector (A).

Inspection

1. Fuse inspection

Mount the test fuse to the switch fuse and relay fuse part to confirm a normal joint fit.

2. KDS Data Analysis

Analyze KDS data and check for any abnormality with the stop lamp switch.

(1)	Connect the KDS to the self-diagnosis connector.

(2)	Turn the spark switch on.

(3)	Step on the brake pedal.

(4)

Inspect the "brake switch" category that displays the "sensor data" KDS.)

Normal waveform : The pressure sensor signal value will change according to the brake ON/OFF switch.

3. Inspection of connector by each part

Check for damage, terminal surge or incomplete connection in each connector.

[Engine room junction box]

[ABS/VDC control module]

4. Inspect the stop lamp circuit

Connect probe to each terminal wire and confirm oscilloscope waveform.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Auto defogging system

Auto defogging reduces the probability of fogging up the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture of inside the windshield. The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning is on. The auto defogging system does not work if you push the Air intake control button, Air conditioning button, or Mode selection button with the Auto Defogging system in operation.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Storage compartments

These compartments can be used to store small items required by the driver or passengers. To avoid possible theft, do not leave valuables in the storage compartment. Always keep the storage compartment covers closed while driving. Do not attempt to place so many items in the storage compartment that the storage compartment cover can not close securely.
