2009 Kia Sedona Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2009 Sedona. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the electrical system: moisture may enter the anti-lock brake module and result in an electrical short, and an electrical short within that module may cause an engine compartment fire. Two separate campaigns cover the front lower control arms, where a broken control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle. Another addresses the hood latch, where the primary latch may be inadvertently released while the secondary latch is not engaged. The fifth covers the brake light switch, which can fail to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or leave the cruise control unable to disengage. Owners have filed 75 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 37 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are tracing an ABS electrical fault, inspecting the front lower control arms, or replacing a stop lamp switch, it puts Kia's own procedure and the correct specification in front of you for your 2009 Sedona.
