Warning Lights on 2019 Sportage Started Beaming All At Once

[IMINGAR55]

While waiting for the engine to warm up yesterday, I saw that all the warning lights were on. I quickly switched off the car, but then I couldn't get it to come back on.

The original man managed to jump tripe A, and it switched on; however, after around thirty seconds, all of the indications turned on again. AAA advised that I get a tow truck and then departed.


The tow truck got there, jumped it, and the lights never turned on until I called for him. It was really frustrating attempting to persuade him that there was a problem, and I'm not exaggerating. I really should have snapped a photo.

Although everything appeared to be operating OK at that stage, I took it to the dealership to have them investigate further. Their assurance that there is no problem will only make the situation worse.

Has anyone been able to identify the specific cause of this issue with other models? I've seen that there are related topics here.

Thanks for everything ahead of time!

It is possible that the battery connectors are loose.

I hope it's just that and nothing complicated, or maybe the battery has to be changed. I was wondering the same thing.

While the majority of the dashboard lights remained illuminated after the initial burst of illumination, I did observe that the warning lights for the electric power steering and charging systems remained illuminated, as did the 4WD system warning and the check TPMS indicator located in the center of the head-up display. It was very similar to this individual, with the addition of additional warning lights.


Thank you for assisting me.

Can you tell me how many years this 12v battery is? Even if it accepts a charge for a little while, there's a good probability it will fail again if it is the original. To ensure the battery can retain its charge, charge it and have it tested under stress. urged to make sure the connections between the batteries were snug. Having the connection between the negative side earthing strap and the body inspected for corrosion is also a good idea.

The reason all the dashboard lights are turning on is counterintuitive, because electronic devices aren't good in low power environments.

Good suggestion about obtaining a new batteries; I hope it's not worse because I purchased the car used in 2022 and I'm almost certain the battery is original. The vehicle has only 34,000 miles on the odometer.

Thanks for the information; I'll let the dealership know about it.

could be the brake system situated at the back

It actually cost me £1100 at the Kia main dealer to get straightened out. It ended out to be some type of broken controller. I will have to check the receipt, but I also lost all power steering, reverse cam wouldn't operate and couldn't open the boot.

They first denied the problem with the used Soul I bought, then told me it needed a new clutch pack after a few weeks; they gave me a 33 percent discount, but I decided to bite the bullet instead of taking the legal route, which would have left me without a car for who knows how long.

If your vehicle is a hybrid, could you please confirm that the engine was turned on and not merely turned on the ignition? The electricity might have been just cut off. That was an error on my part. Forget it

So, here's the update...Based on their findings, Kia has concluded that the battery is likely to blame, and they have conducted a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle. Below are all of their suggestions; I'll let you know which ones are complete nonsense.

Get New Tires—$1,290
Cost: $189 for wheel alignment

Fixing the Rear Diff Costs $207
Professional Injection Service - $230
Cost: $400 for gearbox fluid flushing
Costing $1,047, the brakes are at a 4mm level.
Flush the Brakes—$250
A $130 oil change
Getting a New Battery—$384
Replace the drive belt for $268.


This decision was:

I needed new tires, so I went ahead and got them.
Balancing the Wheels
Change the Battery
Replace the drive belt and change the oil.


Since my 2019 vehicle had 34,000 miles on the odometer, I wasn't sure which of the recommended repairs actually needed to be done at that mileage. However, in July, I had the front brakes replaced because they were at 3mm.

It would be helpful to know if this occurs again, but I didn't get a chance to mention the ABS or the earthing strap. Thank you for everyone's feedback.
