Kia Sedona (2008 year). Manual - part 210

COMPONENT INSPECTION 

1. Check parking lamp 

1. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

2. Disconnect parking lamp light bulb.  

3. Measure the resistance between both terminals of parking lamp light bulb. 

Specification: approx. 0.04 ohms 

(If light bulb fails, infinity ohms is measured.)

4. Is the measured resistance within the specification? 

YES  

Go to step 2. 

NO  

Replacing the light bulb with `light bulb for test', if normal operating condition is confirmed, 
Replace `light bulb for test' with `new light bulb' and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR". 

2. Check FAM 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

3. Check if DTC is erased after replacing FAM with "FAM for test".  

4. Is the DTC erased? 

YES  

Replace "FAM for test" with "new FAM" and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR".

NO  

Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, 
or damage. Repair or replace if necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

Refer to DTC B2119. 

DTC B2573 RIGHT PARKING LAMP CIRCUIT OPEN ERROR 

COMPONENT LOCATION 

Refer to DTC B2535. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

FAM is a part of BCM with DDM, ADM, IPM, RAM, IMS and Cluster module. Each part of BCM is 
connected to one another through CAN communication line for efficient communication. Those modules 
control front/rear, driver/passenger seat, cluster with electrical signal and they share information with other 
modules. FAM (Front Area Module) set up at engine room controls various lamps (fog lamp, headlamp. stop 
lamp, turn signal lamp), wiper and performs system error checking as well. Received multi function switch turn 
signal lamp signal from IPM through CAN line, FAM controls turn signal lamp with integrated IPS. IPS is a 
semi-conductor element which performs roles of fuse and relay. In addition to those roles, it performs sensing 
circuit error, circuit protection. 

DTC DESCRIPTION 

The ECM sets DTC B2573 if open in Right parking lamp circuit is detected. 

DTC DETECTING CONDITION 

DTC DETECTING CONDITION 

MONITOR DTC STATUS 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF" & FAM: "ON".  

3. Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter.

4. Is the DTC B2573 present? 

YES  

Go to TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION. 

NO  

Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector or was repaired and 
ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, 
corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to 
"VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

1. Electrical systems consist of a lot of harness and connectors, poor connection of terminals can cause 

various problems and damage of component.  

2. Check poor connection, bedding, corrosion, contamination, deformation of connector and it terminals.  

3. Is any problem found? 

YES  

Repair if necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR". 

NO  

Go to POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT INSPECTION.

1. Check open in power circuit 

1. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

2. Measure the resistance between parking lamp power circuit of FAM (BCM-FE-1 ) and parking 

lamp (E25-2). 

Specification: 0 ohms

3. Is the measured resistance within the specification? 

YES  

Go to "GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION". 

NO  

Repair open in power circuit and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR". 

GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Check open in ground circuit 

1. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

2. Measure the resistance between parking lamp ground circuit (E25-3) and chassis ground. 

Specification: 0 ohms
