Where is the speed sensor on a 2001 kia sportage located?

hello per my dealing with the problem your having I suggest you take it into your Kia dealer have a Dealer Diagnosis run,, the electronics can be very tricky.. no local auto parts can solve that ..its a very expensive part to have to replace, if it ruins the turbo.. this is my best advice although I had to replace one once.. I found a real reputable turbo rebuilder and exchanged mine at half of the price a dealership will charge.. and you can utilize the repair at a local garage if yours becomes necessary to replace in the future.. as for the speed sensor it has to be top quality parts not aftermarket I have seen money wasted on those .just my dealings with kia tubro's or Toyota's also ,Best of Luck.. Tom

To remove a radiator in a 2001 Kia Sportage you must start by removing the undercover and than drain the coolant into suitable container. Remove upper and lower radiator hoses, then disconnect coolant reservoir tank.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does your speedo work? If not then is the sensor which is on the gear box top side.

The ireal RPM's is about 820 +/- 50. Slighly lower is you happen to have a standard transmission. Below is a description as far as testing your idle. The vehicle sets the idle speed through the computer through several sensors. It is not adjustable. Hope this helps....

The Fuel tank pressure sensor or Fuel pressure sensor? The pressure sensor for the fuel line is located in the Engine compartment, although I don't have the exact location it is located on the fuel line. If your talking about the Fuel level sensor that is actually part of the Fuel pump assembly. You should pick up the Haynes Repair manual on your vehicle before attempting either repair.

assuming the instrument cluster is ok check the output shaft sensor on the transmission. It sends the signal for speed of output shaft which is translated into mph.

you need to remove clean and reattache all grounds with star washers so they dig in and fight corrosion

Radiator fan fuse is fuse # 5 (40 amp/Green) located behind the interior fuse access panel on the left side of the instrument panel next to the steering column. Also, in the underhood Power distribution center, next to the air cleaner filter are two black fan relays: high speed (F) at the far left, second row down and a low speed, 1st one to the right on the bottom row.

Assuming a first generation Sportage, sounds like a problem with the vehicle speed sensor on the back of the transfer case (4wd) or transmission extension housing (2wd).

Could be as simple as a corroded/broken wire, through to a malfunction in the sensor. Take it to Autozone and get the codes read and let us know what they are (to be absoluteluy sure...).
