... I ask as this failure immediately follows record cold here in CO, ... wondering whether this is the root-cause (not identified yet by Kia if it was). The bulk of failures at the start of this thread were in Quebec which led us to suspect that extreme cold was indeed the root-cause. But over the...

- Glad you got this fixed. And to know the primary cause of this problem, A cascading series of faults. Blowing the 40A fuse because either the EWP or OBC fails sounds a little strange.

- Here's an old post of mine from December 2017. see :- Charging Fault error. As you can see from the Quebec DIY fix an official GDS connection was not required. It is possible to recycle the coolant successfully without having the software support. --------------------------------------------- - I ...

- This thread is old - but still contains lots of useful information. Posts here no longer show up in Google searches unless you are really specific. Hopefully by adding this comment the entire thread will get a bit more priority in Google's algorithm. There are still plenty of OBC errors occurring ...

... Question: is there a SIMPLE method to test modules or individual cells, to identify damaged modules/cells? I expect I can dismantle the modules further to individual cells... SIMPLE - NO. But yes it can be done. Just make sure to follow all the safety procedures. Here's two videos showing the d...

- There's a thread from 2016 about self-inflicted gearbox destruction. I haven't heard of any faults recently. see :- New Transmission on 2016 Soul EV Moving the gear lever into 'P' while the car is driving risks destroying the transmission.
