CHECK
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

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.
