P0522 is an OBD2 diagnostic code that is triggered when your Kia Spectra detects that the value being sent from the oil pressure sensor is below its normal operating ranged. It is typically caused by a bad oil pressure sensor or an issue with the oil system, and should be diagnosed and fixed right … Read more
The Kia Spectra utilizes a crankshaft position sensor (CKP) in order to regulate the engine timing. This sensor uses a reluctor to gauge the position of the crank. When the Spectra’s ECM determines that the signal coming from this sensor is out of range, it’ll throw the P0336 trouble code. P0336 is most commonly caused … Read more
P0308 is a fairly common trouble code with the Kia Spectra. It’s and OBD2 code and means that a misfire has been detected in the 8th cylinder in the firing order. You should only be seeing this code if you have an engine with at least 8 cylinders. So, it’s mostly a code for … Read more
