Immobilizer Indicator
When you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
goes off after blinking 6 times, this
indicates that the immobilizer system
is normal. However, if the IMMO indi-
cator remains on continuously after
blinking 6 times, this indicates that
the immobilizer system is out of order
and you cannot start the engine with-
out the limp home procedure. Refer
to the “Limp home procedure”on
page 3-4.Malfunction Indicator
The CHECK ENGINE or malfunction
indicator light is installed in your vehi-
cle’s instrument panel and responds
to signals from the vehicle’s On
Board Diagnostic (OBD -II) System.
The OBD-II System monitors the per-
formance of the vehicle’s Emission
Control System (ECS), which is
designed to reduce the amount of air
pollutants in engine exhaust to the
levels required by government regu-
lations.
When you first start the engine, the
check engine light will illuminate
briefly as a system check to confirm
that the OBD-II System is operating
properly. As the engine starts, this
light turns off. However, if at any time
the OBD-II system detects a faulty
signal or determines that the ECS is
not performing to specification, the
CHECK ENGINE light will illuminate
continuously or flash.Continuously ON :
If the CHECK ENGINE light comes
ON while driving and illuminates con-
tinuously, a potential problem has
been discovered in the ECS or one of
the exhaust system components.
Generally, the vehicle will continue to
be driveable but it should be checked
by an authorized Kia dealer as soon
as possible. This condition is unlikely
to lead to engine damage unless a
decrease in vehicle power or poor
running conditions is immediately
apparent.
Note that the CHECK ENGINE light
will illuminate for a problem like a
loose or missing gas cap, but will not
illuminate as a result of low engine oil
or coolant, low automatic transaxle
fluid or engine overheating. The driv-
er will be alerted to these conditions
by other indicators on the instrument
panel
