Kia Optima: Inspection
Speedometer
| 1. |
Adjust the pressure of the tires
to the specified level. |
| 2. |
Drive the vehicle onto a speedometer
tester. Use wheel chocks (A) as appropriate. |
| 3. |
Check if the speedometer indicator
range is within the standard values.
|
Do not operate the clutch suddenly or increase/ decrease speed rapidly
while testing. |
|
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indication
error. |

Tachometer
| 1. |
Connect the GDS to the diagnostic
link connector or install a tachometer. |
| 2. |
With the engine started, compare
the readings of the tester with that of the tachometer. Replace the tachometer
if the tolerance is exceeded.
| 1. |
Reversing the
connections of the tachometer will damage the transistor
and diodes inside. |
| 2. |
When removing
or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop it
or subject it to severe shock. |

Fuel Gauge
| 1. |
Disconnect the fuel sender connector
from the fuel sender. |
| 2. |
Connect a 3.4 watt, 12V test
bulb to terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side connector. |
| 3. |
Turn the ignition switch to the
ON, and then check that the bulb lights up and the fuel gauge needle moves
to full.
|
Main Fuel Gauge Sender
| 1. |
Using an ohmmeter, measure the
resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of sender connector (A) at each float
level.

After completing this test, wipe the sender dry and reinstall it
in the fuel tank. |
|
Brake Fluid Level Warning Switch
| 1. |
Remove the connector (A) from
the switch located at the brake fluid reservoir. |
| 2. |
Verify that continuity exists
between switch terminals 1 and 2 while pressing the switch (float) down
with a rod.
|
Brake Fluid Level Warning Lamp
| 2. |
Release the parking brake. |
| 3. |
Remove the connector from the
brake fluid level warning switch. |
| 4. |
Ground the connector at the harness
side. |
| 5. |
Verify that the warning lamp
lights. |
Parking Brake Switch
The parking brake switch (A) is a pulling type. It is located
under the parking brake lever. To adjust, move the switch mount up and down with
the parking brake lever released all the way.
| 1. |
Check that there is continuity
between the terminal and switch body with the switch ON (Lever is pulled). |
| 2. |
Check that there is no continuity
between the terminal and switch body with the switch OFF (Lever is released).
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect its ground
connection.
|
Door Switch
Remove the door switch and check for continuity between the terminals.
Seat Belt Switch
| 1. |
Remove the connector from the
switch. |
| 2. |
Check for continuity between
terminals.
