SERVICE ACTION: BMS/OPU/MCU
LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (SA411)
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 the procedure to improve the logic of the Battery Management System
(BMS), Oil Pump Control Unit (OPU) and Motor Control Unit (MCU) on some 2017-2019MY
Optima (JF P/HEV) vehicles, produced from August 25, 2016 through September 13, 2018
(refer to page 8) in order to improve the BMS diagnosis logic, OPU judgment logic for DTC
P1B77 (High Voltage Battery Pre-Charging fault) and MCU communication logic. To correct
this concern, apply the improved logic to the following three (3) systems: BMS, OPU and MCU
using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as described in this bulletin. For confirmation that the
latest reflash has been applied to a vehicle you are working on, verify the ROM ID using the
table on page 3 of this bulletin. Before conducting the procedure, verify that the vehicle is
included in the list of affected VINs.
 NOTICE
A Service Action is a repair program without customer notification that is performed
during the warranty period. Any dealer requesting to perform this repair outside the
warranty period will require DPSM approval.
Repair status for a VIN is provided on WebDCS (Service → Warranty Coverage →
Warranty Coverage Inquiry → Campaign Information). Not completed Recall / Service
Action reports are available on WebDCS (Consumer Affairs → Not Completed Recall
→ Recall VIN → Select Report), which includes a list of affected vehicles.
This issue number is SA411.

A fully charged battery is necessary before ECU upgrade can take place. It is
recommended that the Midtronics GR8-1299 be used in ECU mode during
reflashing or the use of a fully charged jump starter box.
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
To verify the vehicle is affected, be sure to check the version of the vehicle’s control
unit ROM ID with reference to the ‘ROM ID Information Table’ below before
attempting to upgrade the control unit software.
Printed TSB copy is for reference only; information may be updated at any time. Always refer to KGIS for the latest information.
