P0501 is an OBD2 trouble code that indicates there is an issue with your Kia Picanto’s Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). It occurs when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) gets a signal from the VSS outside its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). P0501 is a generic powertrain code, which means it has the same … Read more
P0008 is a somewhat uncommon OBD2 trouble code that can occur in the Kia Picanto. It indicates that the crankshaft and camshaft are not synchronized properly, and should be considered a breakdown risk. Driving your Picanto with P0008 can lead to engine damage and a costly repair. While P0008 is a generic code (it has … Read more
P0725 is a common OBD2 code that can occur in the Kia Picanto. It indicates an issue with the engine speed sensor input circuit (which measures the engine speed at the input shaft and helps the PCM determine when and how hard to shift the transmission). It’s a generic code, which means it has the … Read more
P0193 is a generic OBD-II code that can occur in the Kia Picanto. It indicates that your Picanto’s fuel rail pressure sensor is sending a signal to the PCM that is above its normal operating range (in terms of voltage value). While P0193 is a generic code (it has the same meaning for any vehicle … Read more
P0523 is a standard OBD2 trouble code that can occur in the Kia Picanto. In layman’s terms, it indicates the signal from the oil pressure sensor is higher than its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). P0523 is generic (it has the same definition for all vehicles), repair steps will depend on your Picanto’s … Read more
P0705 is a very common transmission-related trouble code that can occur in the Kia Picanto. In layman’s terms, it means that your Picanto can’t tell what gear you’ve selected, which can have some real consequences on how it drives. It’s most likely caused by a bad Transmission Range Sensor (TRS), but there are other causes … Read more
P1326 is a very common code to find in the Kia Picanto. It indicates that the Knock Sensor Detection System has detected excess engine vibration. An actual engine knock most commonly causes it, but a bad knock sensor or wiring problems are also common causes. Repairing P1326 should be considered a high priority since it … Read more
Daytime running lights (or DRL) are specialized lights that come on when your Kia Picanto’s regular headlights are turned off. Their purpose is to make it easier for other drivers to see you, theoretically decreasing the odds of getting into an accident. If your Picanto’s DRL warning light is on, the powertrain control module (commonly … Read more
