Kia Optima 2012 CVVL engine ....need help of this code p1034
This code does not refer to the O2 sensors. There is another sensor on the exhaust system called a "NOx" sensor. This monitors the Nitrogen Oxide levels in the Exhaust. Some vehicle manufacturers need to have the new sensor coded to the vehicles ECU to turn off the engine warning light.
2015. Immobilizer light on. Why doesn't it start?
It doesn't start because the immobiliser light is on and your vehicle is immobilised.
Did the battery go flat? Did you change the battery?
You need the dealership or an autoelectrician with a scan tool programming computer.
How can I remove 120A alternator fuse?
120A fuses are usually bolted into the distribution center. I would look to see if you can push the wires connected to the fuse up and out of the box to access the bolts.
What is causing arcing in the engine compartment?
If there is something arcing in the passenger side of the engine compartment that you can hear while driving, the arcing would leave indisputable evidence, leaving few in any doubt about what caused it.
Do you mean you hear something that sounds like electricity arcing?
If it really is electricity arcing, other things happening would be inevitable - the car has a 12 volt system. That isn't enough voltage for spontaneous arcing and a live part must physically touch a ground part and there must be enough current available to sustain the arcing and that severely limits the possibilities as most circuits are fused and the briefest short circuit will destroy even the largest fuse with obvious consequences.
While the arcing must consume a large amount of current, because the battery and alternator combined can only supply a finite amount this necessarily will result in a significant system volt drop that must result in symptoms such as the dimming of lights, the slowing of the heater blower and even engine driveability issues.
Having said all that, I am wondering if perhaps the power steering pump was replaced because the bearings became noisy? If this is so it would be wise to check the engine ground...
