(M/T), begin the “2000rpm Test” by
increasing and maintaining engine speed
between 1,900-2,100 (2.4L) or 1,9002,200 (2.0T) RPM until all three (3)
measurements are complete.
17. When the “2000rpm Test” is complete,
release the accelerator pedal so that
engine maintains idle state for the “Idle
Test”.
18. The “Idle Test” will automatically begin.
Keep the engine at idle and wait until all
three (3) measurements are complete.

19. After the completion of the engine noise
inspection, the KDS will automatically
generate/display a “PASS” or “NO
PASS” result.




If the inspection result is “PASS”,
proceed to the KS Extension Harness
Installation procedure on page 12.
If the inspection result is “NO PASS,”
proceed to the engine replacement
procedure on page 17.
If the inspection result is “RETEST”
with an error code, see Adapter Error
Code chart in Appendix 4 on page 45
for corrective action then repeat the
inspection procedure starting from
step 9.

20. Select “Finish” to complete the engine
noise inspection. Ensure the KDS is
connected to the internet and the
“Special Inspection” KDS application is
open to automatically submit the results
to the Kia Server. To save and/or print
the results as PDF, select “Print”.
If the KDS is not connected to the
internet, up to five (5) results will stay
pending in the queue until the KDS is
connected to the internet with the
“Special Inspection” application open.
Note: The five (5) pending results
must be submitted before a sixth (6th)
test can be conducted.

21. Disconnect the engine noise tester from the KDS and carefully remove the adapter (B)
from the dipstick tube by grasping the engine noise tester adapter.

KS Extension Harness Installation Procedure:
NOTE: Photos below are from a 15MY Optima (QF). Components and their location may vary in different models.

1.

Inspect the ECU harness (A) and verify if
the Knock Sensor wiring extension
harness (B) has previously been
installed.

NOTE: To identify the extension harness
(B), look for an external harness (B) which
should be cable-tied to the existing wiring
harness (A) leading by the intake manifold
(C) to the knock sensor (D), as shown.
