2019 Kia Soul EV Service and Repair Manual

Kia published one set of specifications and service sequences for the 2019 Soul EV, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to exactly that — this year, this battery-electric powertrain, these trims — so nothing in it is an approximation carried over from a neighboring model year or a different version of the Soul.

Known issues on the 2019 Soul EV. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the traction battery in the propulsion system: on vehicles equipped with the E400 battery, the high-voltage battery pack may experience an electrical short-circuit while driving, and a battery electrical short-circuit increases the risk of a fire. The second covers the air bags: the Air Bag Control Unit cover may contact a memory chip, and air bags that do not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 34 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From isolating a high-voltage battery fault to checking the airbag control unit after a warning light or keeping up with a routine service interval, it keeps you on Kia's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 Soul EV.
