Kia Carens. Manual - part 2

1. Oil seals

2. O-rings

3. Cotter pins

4. Gaskets

5. Lock washers

6. Nylon nuts

Depending on location:

1. Sealant should be applied or new gaskets used.

2. Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts.

3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before assembly.

ADJUSTMENT

1. Use appropriate gauges and/or testers when making adjustments.

RUBBER PARTS AND TUBING

1. Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts or tubing.

ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS

1. Test Light

The test light, as shown in the figure, uses a 12V bulb. The two lead wires should be connected to probes.
The test light is used for simple voltage checks and in checking for short circuits.

When checking the engine control module (ECM), never use a bulb exceeding 3.4W.

2. Jumper Wire

The jumper wire is used for testing by shorting across switch terminals and ground connections.

Do not connect a jumper wire from the power source line to a body ground. Such a connection may cause
damage to harnesses or electronic components.

3. Voltmeter

The DC voltmeter is used to measure circuit voltage. A voltmeter with a range of 15V or more is used by connecting
the positive (+) probe to the point where voltage is to be measured and the negative (-) probe to a body ground.

4. Ohmmeter

The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance between two points in a circuit to check for continuity, and in
diagnosis of short circuits.

Do not attempt to connect the ohmmeter to any circuit to which voltage is applied ; this may bum or otherwise
damage the ohmmeter.

ELECTRICAL PARTS

1. Battery Cable

Before disconnecting connectors replacing electrical parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.

CONNECTORS

1. Removal of connector

(1) Never pull on the wiring harness when disconnecting connectors.

(2) Connectors can be removed by pressing or pulling the lock lever..

2. Locking a connector

Listen for a click when locking connectors. This sound indicates that they are securely locked.

3. Inspection

(1) When a tester is being used to check for continuity or to measure voltage, insert the tester probe from the wire

harness side.

(2) Check the terminals of waterproof connectors from the connector side, because they cannot be accessed from the

wire harness side.

• Use a fine wire to prevent damage to the terminal.
• Do not damage the terminal when inserting the tester lead.

Terminals

1. Inspection

Pull lightly on individual wires to ensure that they are secured in the terminal.

2. Replacement or terminals

Use the appropriate tools to remove the terminal as shown.
When installing the terminal, be sure to insert it until it locks securely.

(1) Female

Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of the connector, and with the terminal locking tab pressed down,
pull the terminal out from the connector.

(2) Male

Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of the connector, and with the terminal locking tab pressed down,
pull the terminal out from the connector.

3. Sensors, switches, and relays

Always handle sensors, switches, and relays carefully. Do not drop them or accidently strike them against other parts.
