Sensors for Kia Rio 3

In all modern cars, and in particular in the Kia Rio 3, sensors allow the ECU to prepare the air-fuel mixture, as well as to maintain the smooth operation of the engine. If one of them is defective, it will affect the operation of the engine, the dynamics of the car and, of course, fuel consumption. If the operation of the crankshaft sensor is interrupted, the engine will completely stop working. Therefore, if the “Check” lamp is suddenly noticeable on the model of the device, it is recommended to immediately contact the service station to clarify and fix the problem.

Crankshaft sensor for Kia Rio 3 and its errors

Crankshaft sensor - DKV, installed on vehicles with an electronic engine management system (ECM). DPKV - A part that allows the engine ECU to control the location of the valve timing sensor. This ensures the efficiency of the fuel injection system. DPC helps determine when the cylinders of an internal combustion engine need to be filled with fuel.

The crankshaft speed sensor influences the operation of the engine. Malfunctions cause the engine to stop or simply unstable operation of the internal combustion engine - fuel is not supplied in a timely manner, and there is a danger of its ignition in the cylinder. The crankshaft is used to keep the fuel injectors and ignition running.

Thanks to him, the ECU sends signals about the knee, that is, about its position and speed.

Errors related to DC Kio Rio 3:

• Circuit problems - P0385
• Invalid Flag - P0386
• Sensor not read - P1336
• Frequency changing - P1374
• DC indicator "B" below average - P0387
• DC indicator "B" above average - P0388
• Problems in the sensor "B" - P0389
• Assess inoperability - P0335
• Malfunction of the level sensor "A" - P0336
• The indicator is below the average DC "A" - P0337
• Sensor sensor "A" above average - P0338
• Damage - P0339

Crankshaft sensor errors occur due to an open circuit or wear.

Camshaft sensor Gamma 1.4 / 1.6 Kia Rio and its malfunctions

The DPRV coordinates the operation of the fuel injection system and the engine mechanism. The phase sensor is inseparable from the crankshaft. The DPRV is located next to the timing gears and sprockets. The adopted camshaft sensors are based on magnet and Hall effect. Both types are used to transmit voltage to the ECU from the engine.

After the maximum service life has expired, the DPRV stops working. The most common reason for this is the wear of the internal winding of the wires.

Diagnostics of problems and errors of the Kia Rio camshaft is carried out using a scanner.

• Circuit problems - P0340
• Invalid indicator - P0341
• Sensor value below average - P0342
• Above average - P0343

Kia Rio 3 speed sensor, errors

Today, the mechanical method of measuring speed is no longer used in cars. Devices based on the Hall effect have been developed. The pulse frequency signal is transmitted from the controller, and the transmission frequency depends on the vehicle speed. The speed sensor, as its name suggests, helps to determine the exact speed of movement.

The task is to measure the time interval between signals for each kilometer. One kilometer transmits six thousand impulses. As the speed of the vehicle increases, the transmission frequency of the pulses increases accordingly. By calculating the exact time of transmission of the impulse, it is easy to get the traffic speed.

When the vehicle is coasting, the speed sensor saves fuel. It is quite simple in its work, but, with the slightest breakdown, the operation of the car engine deteriorates.

DS Kia Rio is located vertically on the manual transmission housing. If it fails, the engine starts to malfunction. The speed sensor, like the camshaft, in the event of a breakdown is not repaired, but immediately replaced with a new part. Most often, the drive is destroyed.

• Speed ​​Sensor Circuit Malfunction - P0500
• Poorly adjusted DS - P0501
• Below Average DS - P0502
• Above average SD - P0503

Temperature sensor for Kia Rio

The temperature sensor is used to warn of engine overheating, thanks to which the driver brakes and softens the car before something goes wrong due to overheating. With the help of a special pointer, the temperature of the engine at the current time is displayed. The arrow goes up when the ignition is turned on.

Most Kia Rio owners claim that there is no temperature sensor in the car, because they simply do not look at the number of engine degrees. The engine temperature can be indirectly understood by the "Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor".

Errors associated with DT Kia Rio 3:

• Invalid Flag - P0116
• Below average - P0117
• The indicator is above the norm - P0118
• Problems - P0119

The resistance of the sensor depends on the temperature of the coolant. To verify that the sensor is working properly, simply submerge it in room temperature water and compare readings.

Conclusion

A modern car is a complete system of devices interconnected with each other through a set of sensors. If the operation of literally one sensor is interrupted, the system will fail.

The air in the engine is controlled by a camshaft sensor, and depending on its volume, the ECU calculates the supply of the working mixture to the engine. Using the crankshaft sensor, the control unit monitors the engine speed, and the control system regulates the air supply. With the help of the control unit during parking, idle speed is maintained when the engine is warm. The system provides engine warm-up at high speeds by increasing the idle speed.

All these sensors are found in modern cars, and having studied their device and errors, it is much easier to understand the diagnostic results and purchase the necessary part for the car.
