SUBJECT:
 NOTICE
This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections
of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area.
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 all vehicles listed below:
Year
Model
2012-2013
Soul (AM)
Engine
Production Date
July 8, 2011 to October 2, 2013
Gamma 1.6L GDI
2014-2016
Soul (PS)
July 26, 2013 to August 11, 2016
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.
 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.
Printed TSB copy is for reference only; information may be updated at any time.

ECU Upgrade Procedure:
To correct this condition, the ECU should be reprogrammed using the KDS
download, as described in this bulletin.
Upgrade Event Name
522. AM GAMMA 1.6GDI Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) ECU UPGRADE (12~13MY)
559. PS GAMMA 1.6GDI Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) ECU UPGRADE (14~16MY)
 NOTICE
•

•
•
•
A fully charged battery is necessary before the ECU upgrade can take place. It is
recommended that a battery charger is used in ECU mode during the reflash or the
use of a fully charged jump starter box connected to the battery.
Ensure the KDS or GDS is sufficiently charged at 50% or higher 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.
 IMPORTANT
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.
 NOTICE
Before attempting an ECU upgrade on any Kia model, make sure to first determine
whether the applicable 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.
