Summary

Tsb: service action: instrument cluster logic improvement (sa176) - this bulletin provides information related to a software upgrade for the instrument cluster (see affected cluster type below) of some 2015my sedona (yp) vehicles (l and lx trim levels), produced from august 11, 2014 through november 8, 2014, which may exhibit a parasitic draw of up to 200-250 milliamps (ma), when the main fuse box switch is set to “on”, in key off/doors locked condition. As a result, the electronic modules may not enter “sleep” mode and cause the battery to be drained, after a few days. To prevent and/or correct this condition, the instrument cluster should be reprogrammed using the gds download, as described in this bulletin. Kia is requesting the completion of this service action on all affected vehicles, including dealer stock, prior to delivery. For confirmation that the latest reflash has been done to a vehicle you are working on, verify rom id using the tables in this tsb.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 37 complaints in the electrical category.
