2010 Kia Sedona Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual is written for the 2010 Kia Sedona specifically — matched to the exact year, engine and trim — so every specification and sequence it gives is the one Kia published for the 2010 van rather than a close approximation borrowed from a neighboring Sedona year.

Known issues on the 2010 Sedona. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the electrical system: moisture may enter the anti-lock brake (ABS) module and result in an electrical short, and an electrical short within the ABS module may cause an engine compartment fire. Two separate recalls cover the front lower control arms on vans manufactured from June 15, 2005 through August 14, 2012, filed because a broken control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle. Another addresses the secondary hood latch, and applies if the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged. The last covers the stop lamp switch: failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking, or inability to disengage the cruise control. Owners have filed 49 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 40 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether the job is an ABS module electrical fault, a front lower control arm inspection, a hood latch check or a stop lamp switch replacement, it holds you to Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2010 Sedona.
