Hi Edwin, I'm glad to help!

Edwin the code you have P1115 has to do with the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit. When you have a code that directs you to a circuit that means it could be a wiring issue, a connector issue or the part that the wiring runs to, which is the coolant sensor. When the engine first starts the computer uses the coolant sensor to provide the correct amount of fuel so the engine runs properly. Here's what you need to do first. Check all related wiring for damage and also check the connector for pin-push-outs. If everything looks good then replace the coolant temp sensor. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Edwin.

SOURCE: 2000 kia sportage ex, 4 cyl.

Many of the Kia sportages have a problem with the coils.

There are 2 coils for each 2 cyl and they are located under the middle platic cap on the valve cover.

These coils will set a check engine light that blinks when misfiring and stays on steady when the motor is running smooth. Autozone or Advance auto have a scanner that can check all engine functions and will show a problem with # 2 and 4 cyl.

The coil packs are $39.00 to replace but check the codes first

SOURCE: the Abs light came on and will not go out after i

This is just a consequential event. the ABS sensor module was probably going out and decide the trigger the alarm at the same time you initiated the hard brake during travel. replacing or resetting this sensor module Will fix this issue. the light will go off as well.


Please rate and god bless.

SOURCE: 2000 kia sportage. no start no spark no injector pulse.

check both of your fuse panels for a blown fuse. there's 4-5 that control the fuel pump, engine sensors, fuel injectors and such. one of those may be blown and not letting the rest of the system function. one panel is located under hood, and one is under the dash on drivers side. when you take the covers off they have the fuses numbered and tell what they control.

SOURCE: 2000 kia sportage trouble code po171 once in

I have 2005 Kia Sportage with a check engine light. No other symptoms. I was told by Kia and Local mechanic that it is the fuel injectors. Error Code states that Fuel injectors are running lean. Put Master airflow- no change. Ran engine test with propane to run rich and trim never changed from 15. Car runs great. Kia dealer said that this is because we use Ethel in gas that it effects the alumium fuel rail delivery to the injectors and that it is necessary to change all of them .Kia Dealer wants $1,000.00 deposit to place order 6 fuel injectors from Kia. (Has anyone heard of that?)Also put fuel injector cleaner in tank.Does anyone have any suggestions before I spend over $1,000.00 to replace all 6 injectors or possible idea of what could be wrong?

I have a p1121 code and a p1115. What are these codes?

p1115 is coolant temp intermittently high. Could be the sensor or wiring/plug.
p1121 is TPS is invalid. Again this could both the sensor or wiring/plug. Takes a volt /ohm meter and a bit of time to figure out.

1999 kia sportage stalled while in park will not refire codes are p1115 and p1624

p1115 is a coolant temperature signal from ECM to TCM. p1624 is MIL request from ECM to TCM. Did the vehicle overheat? If so check the temperature sensor and the thermostat. Some vehicles will overheat and shut the engine off until the computer is reset. But with both codes involving the same computer modules the best bet might be to rescan the computer and reset it. Both modules might need to be changed.

Starting problems Kia Sportage

Its too cold ... get a block heater. At least get an under hood heater, even an old electric blanket will work ... just don't forget to remove it before starting the engine.

You also might look into holding the preheaters on longer.

Start only when gas peddel is pressed codes are P1115 P1624 runs ok

Could be plugged fuel filter, weak fuel pump or fuel pump relay, or the fuel pressure regulator which I would suspect secondly. I would first replace fuel filter since you should every 30,000 miles anyways.
