Kia Sportage QL (2015-2023) Service Manual / Automatic Transaxle System / Automatic Transaxle Control System / Transaxle Oil Temperature Sensor Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Switch "OFF" ignition.

2.	Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")

3.	Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).

4.	Measure the resistance between + terminal (9) and - terminal (13).

Removal

The oil temperature sensor is integrated with the solenoid valve connector module and cannot be disassembled. The oil temperature sensor should be replaced with the solenoid valve connector module.

1.	Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover").

Remove the ATF drain plug (A), allow the fluid to drain out and then reinstall the drain plug.

Tightening torque:

33.3 - 43.1 N·m (3.4 - 4.4 kgf·m, 24.6 - 31.8 lb·ft)

The existing ATF drain plug gasket must be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse it.)

3.	Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")

4.	Remove the wiring bracket bolt (A) and air breather hose (B).

Remove the valve body cover (A).

Tightening torque:

11.8 - 13.7 N·m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf·m, 8.7 - 10.1 lb·ft)

Remove the solenoid valve harness (A) after removing the bolts.

Tightening torque:

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Remove the valve body assembly (A).
