GROUP Product Improvement MODEL 2014-2016MY Soul (PS) w/Nu 2.0L GDI NUMBER PI2002B DATE August 2020 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN SUBJECT: NU 2.0L GDI - KNOCK SENSOR DETECTION SYSTEM (KSDS) LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (PI2002B) This bulletin provides information related to a software update to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to install the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) in order to protect the engine from excessive connecting rod bearing damage. This update is for some 2014-2016MY Soul (PS) vehicles produced from July 21, 2013 through August 11, 2016 equipped with Nu 2.0L GDI engines. The KSDS detects vibrations indicating the onset of excessive connecting rod bearing wear. It is designed to alert the driver at an early stage of bearing wear before the occurrence of severe engine damage, including engine failure. If vibrations caused by bearing wear start to occur, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will blink continuously, and the vehicle will be placed in Limp Home Mode. This will reduce further damage to the engine and ensure that the vehicle occupants are not exposed to the risk of a more severe engine failure. At that time, Diagnostic Trouble Code (“DTC”) P1326, specific to the KSDS, will be recorded in the ECU. The vehicle can continue to be operated for a limited time in Limp Home Mode, but it will accelerate slowly and have a reduced maximum speed. Also, engine RPMs will be limited to approximately 1800-2000 RPM. Kia is requesting the completion of this Product Improvement Campaign on all affected vehicles. Before conducting the procedure, verify the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs. Also, please have your KDS connected to the internet regularly to get the latest software updates available. Kia Diagnostic System (KDS) NOTICE To assure complete customer satisfaction, always remember to refer to WebDCS Warranty Coverage (validation) Inquiry Screen (Service → Warranty Coverage → Warranty Coverage Inquiry) for a list of any additional campaigns that may need to be performed on the vehicle before returning it to the customer.

Upgrade Event Name 508. PS Nu 2.0GDI Knock Sensor Detection System(KSDS) ECU UPGRADE Note: Software upgrade is applicable to California vehicles only at this time. NOTICE A fully charged battery is necessary before ECU upgrade can take place. It is recommended that a battery charger is used in ECU mode during reflashing or the use of a fully charged jump starter box connected to the battery. DO NOT connect any other battery charger to the vehicle during ECU upgrade. Ensure the KDS or GDS is sufficiently charged prior to reflash. All ECU upgrades must be done with the ignition key in the ‘ON’ position. Be careful not to disconnect the VCI-II connected to the vehicle during the ECU upgrade procedure. DO NOT start the engine during ECU upgrade. Do NOT turn the ignition key ‘OFF’ or interrupt the power supply during ECU upgrade. When the ECU upgrade is completed, turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and wait 10 seconds before starting the engine. ONLY use approved ECU upgrade software designated for the correct model and model year. NOTICE Before attempting an ECU upgrade on any Kia model, make sure to first determine whether the particular model is equipped with an immobilizer security system. Failure to follow proper procedures may cause the PCM to become inoperative after the upgrade and any claims associated with this repair may be subject to chargeback. NOTICE It is recommended to ALWAYS check the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to locate the ECU Part Number respective to Auto/Manual Mode ROM IDs. DO NOT reference the parts label affixed to the ECU.
