1996 Kia Sportage Trouble Codes

[bidong]

Good Evening fellow garage junkies.

I would like to ask for some help because I'm currently troubleshooting this Kia Sportage 1996 2.0L diesel with the RF Engine.

I had trouble in figuring out what the flash codes mean. Most information i see in the web are for K.Sportage Gasoline.

Any info would be much appreciated. A Service manual would be heaven.

Thanks guys.

Kia Code Retrieval
Some 95 and ALL 96 & later models are OBD2 and require a scanner
Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Models up to 95

When trouble occurs in the main input or output devices, check for the cause using the data link connector (DLC) and the malfunction indicator lamp located in the instrument cluster. Failures of each input and output device are indicated and retrieved from the engine control module (ECM) as diagnostic trouble codes.

* Locate DLC at top center of firewall and use jumper wire to connect ENG. TEST and ground terminals.
* On 1995 Sportage models, turn ignition to On, but do not start engine.
* On other models, start and warm engine, then run at 2,000 RPM for 3 minutes.
* Diagnostic trouble codes will be displayed as a series of long and short flashes on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Trouble Code Interpretation

The ECM? indicates stored fault code by flashing the malfunction indicator/check engine lamp. Fault codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks and fault codes 10 and above are indicated by long and short blinks. One long blink is equivalent to 10 short blinks. The fault code can be determined by adding the long and short blinks.

Clearing Trouble Codes

Diagnostic trouble codes may be cleared by disconnecting the battery ground cable for at least 20 seconds.
