Kia Sephia

Usally located in the fuse block. this is normally on the driver side near the floor board. it would help to add the make model and year of vehicle.

yes this code requires the tranny man . The explanation is this:

there is a speed sensor buried inside the tranny called input/turbine speed sensor that sends speed signals to the computer.Over a period of time metal shavings build up to the magnetic head and eventually clog the sensor up so bad it cannot send out accurate readings causing a pending po715 code.(are still with me so far). then this continues until the same metal shavings start clogging up other magnetic solenoids,like the torque converter clutch solenoid,until it starts sticking sending a po743 code.Sooooo, to fix this problem $1200.00 to $1800.00 is not an uncommon price to rebuild the tranny.Not what you wanted to read but that's what happens.

remember years ago when transmission shops would say change tranny oil and filer every 15,000 miles.This is never so much MORE true today with the introduction of digital components inside the tranny and magnetic sensors /solenoids.hope this explanation helps.

Should be 12 volts, check the fuel pump relay and clean the ground wire to the fuel pump. In fact clean all the ground connections on the vehicle.

removal 1998 kia sephia back seat

There is a recall on some part of the gas fueling area... I forget the exact name, but if you put too much gas into it (at least the 1998 model) the gas will spew back out. I never turned my Kia in for the recall, so I got around this by not overfilling the tank.

On top of engine you will see a black colored plate with KIA DOHC 16 V printed into it. This plate is secured by six (6) phillip head screws. Remove screws and lift off plate. You will see two (2) plug wires and two (2)ignitor blocks. Carefully remove plug wires as you would any other, Ignitor blocks are secured by two(2)screws. BE VERY CAREFULL removing wires and blocks as the sparkplugs are recessed about three (3) inches into the block. Use only NGK brand plugs as Autolite and champion will only work well for ashort period if at all. I know from experiance. It is recommended to replace plugwires every 30,000 miles when you change plugs. Plugwires from aKIA dealer will cost you about $20.00 each. The ignitor blocks will run about $75.00 each, but only if they need replacing. Go to http://www.kia101.com/Spark%20plug%20wire%20coil%20pg1.htm

....Well... as I have just found out.......you have to pull apart the whole dash... unscrew the steering wheel from the frame... take out the frame underneath the dash.... and then unscrew the heater side of the heater/ A/C unit. Then it comes out pretty easily. I just did it and it took me about an hour. The problem I have now is that I need to find a heater core... which has been a problem. I'm hoping that I can find one at the junk yard that will fit in my car...... and isn't damaged. I hope that helped.

Remove the cover from your 2001 Kia rear speakers. Remove the rear speaker retaining screws. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the speakers. Reverse the process to install the new rear speakers.

i believe it is 75-90 gear oil IT IS NOT IS NOT AUTOMATIC TRANNY OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Will Need To Get The Cable From A Dealer. If The Cable Is Burned Into Ect. It Will Need To Be Replaced. If The Cable End Is Bad You Can Try This. Purchase a New Cable End. Yours Probably Has Two Smaller Cables In The Wire Also Besides The Regular One. On The Cable End You Get Also Get One Or Two ( as needed ) Heavy Duty Cable Eyletts That Fit The Bolts That Tighten The Large Cable To The Terminal End. Put The Small Cables On each Side Of The Bolts That Clamp This Down, Tighten It All Down. Should Work OK. I Have Done This Often. If You Do It This Way. You Will Need To Check These Connections Every 3 Months Or So To Be Sure They Are OK.

This is a HUGE online repair manual. I was very impressed, overlooking some translation errors.

yes under the rear seat remove the seat youll see it

Trim the wheel behind the studs

They are 4" for the front door speaker, and 6.5" for the rear panel speakers. Careful not to buy too deep a replacement speaker, as the space is limited.

You should check the belt. My Sephia was doing the samething and when I looked at the belt...it was worn and needed replacement. If it isn't the belt, the clutch on the compressor could be slipping and may need replacing as well. I would first check the belt..if it looks dry, you can get some belt dressing from any auto store. If the belt looks like it can be replaced I would do so. Hope this helps you. the pumps ceap ouyt on these cars i would take the belt off and call it a day or just cut it off

All you need to do is call a llocal KIA dealer and give them your VIN # and they can give you the code.

MY WIFE HAS A 99 KIA SEPHIA. SHE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK OUT OF IT. ANYWAY THE HEATER MOTOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE DASH,RIGHT BELOW THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE TO BEAT ON HERS WITH A RUBBER MALLET TO GET IT TO WORK.

the starter is on the side of engine between engine and firewall of car on driverside

oh boy! You and I are in the same boat! lol I have a 2000 Kia Sephia and it is notorious for problems! Check wire harnesses leading to starter, and have mechanic check ignition/spark plugs... especially if it running/idling rough. Had the same problem with the same make and model. I'm not sure exactly what caused the problem but it only happens when the gas tank gets low. If I keep a half a tank of gas I don't have the problem.

When you open door and look down to where your foot pedals are, look to the left and you will see the plastic trim around foot well, you will then see a pull out section of plastic trim, when you remove this panel cover you will find the fuses, on the backside of the plastic cover it will tell you which fuse is for which part of electrics. Hope this helps.

Loosen of the bleeding nipple, now tighten it back a little. pit a plastic tube over the nipple and hang the end of the tube into a container that has some fluid in it just to stop air from being sucked up it. Loosen of the nipple. Make sure the master is full and gently pump the fluid through, all the time making sure that the master cylinder does not empty. when no more bubbles are coming through the tube fasten the bleeding nipple and the clutch should be working after a couple of more pumps.

First roll the window down. Then take the door panel off of the inside of the door. There should be two or three screws along the bottom of the panel, and one in the grip. You'll also need to remove the window crank if you don't have power windows. Now, once you have all the screws out and the crank off, pull straight up on the door panel, because there are clips at window sill that hold the top of the panel on. When you have the panel completely off, there should be a piece of plastic glued over the inside of the door. That's a moisture barrier. Roll the window back up. Pull the top left of the barrier far enough down to fit your hand up to the handle. There are two nuts on each side of the top of the handle. Remove these. also, you'll need to remove the lock rod and latch rod. there are plastic clips that hold these on. Unclip them from the rod and rotate the clips, and the rod should slide out. Then pull the bottom of the outside of the door handle out, and slide it down a little to allow the studs to clear the holes. You have now removed the door handle.

what kind of transmission oil for 2001 kia sephia thanks
