  1. The Service Center
    I found a discussion of an earlier 2013, they talked about checking a yellow fuse, I have a yellow breaker in the fuse box under the steering wheel off to the left, the roster is not well marked. I clicked the breaker off and on again, don't know if there is a fuse in it or how to remove it...

    I did a search and did not get any results so please let me know. . In all previous cars, to reset the ECU to read more air flow (just installed cone filter) I only had to unhook the battery for 10 mins or so, and after reconnecting, the computer would adjust to more air coming into engine. ...

    2015 Optima EX - My TPMS sensor lit up yesterday, got out and checked, the 'faulty' tire seemed to be inflated, when I got home it was at 27lbs (probably outside temp related) so I added a few lbs to 31 and topped off the others. I've now driven the car over 30 miles and the hazard light is...

    Browsing through looking for details on transmission adaptive learning reset. Roughly 2.5 weeks ago, I took my '14 SXL to the dealership to change my steering settings, only to learn that it was already preset in the desired mode. I glanced over the tech's shoulder to see what screen options...

    2015 SX-T, premium and tech packages, ~700 miles on it. Average MPG has reset twice on its own now. Not the trip MPG, the main average MPG. It didn't occur after a fill-up and I have the reset option set to manual, not automatic. It's possible I could have unknowingly hit the OK button long...

    We have a 2011 Optima Hybrid and last week I took it in for a scheduled oil change. They took it back in the garage and I < presume > they did actually change the oil but I didn't see them do it. When I left the dealers the warning that I needed to change the oil came up AGAIN!! It comes up...

    So yesterday I got a CEL and a P0302 code. I replaced my spark plugs and fixed the issue. The CEL is still lit. I was under the assumption that after three ignition cycles that a fault is not detected that the light would reset on its own. Question is how many ignition cycles do our cars need to...

    This is silly and stupid at the same time. I renewed my Sirius subscription when the trial lapsed, that was over a year ago. Couple of weeks back, my Sirius traffic stopped working, with the status "deactivated". So i called sirius, they said that i don't have traffic turned on, but they'll add...

    Anyone ever have their trip computer (both A and B) reset WITHOUT you manually doing it? Ever since owning this car I have been tracking my mileage religiously! I know I didnt do it myself and I am the only person who drives this car. I drove back from NC on Sunday and was very eager to see how...

    I noticed in the menu on our cars you can have the Fuel Economy gauge automatically reset or manually reset it.. at what point does it automatically reset? Every time you start the car?
  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Odd question. When you have the car set to reset your average gas mileage at each fill up, how does it know when you've refilled? Something in the gas cap door (when opened)? Gas cap itself removed? Level of gas in the tank increasing?
  17. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    When we got the car the dealer showed my wife the seat memory and set position 1 for her. Then somewhere along the line seat postion 2 got set. So in order for me to get in and out of the car we set postion two for me. BIG mistake. The problem isn't the seat position. In fact I wish you could...

    Good afternoon all, I was trolling one of the Genesis forums and it made me think about this. To force the car to reset/relearn adaptive values from the transmission I hear you can just disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes, reconnect and away you go. Is this accurate? Is there a...

    Many members with a sunroof have mentioned that turning the car off before it is finished closing or disconnecting the battery can sometimes cause your sunroof to not act properly. More specifically, it does not open with the automatic feature, and requires you to hold the button until it is...

    I took a trip to the KIA dealership to have my tires topped off with nitrogen and get the TPMS sensor reset. The weather here in NC got a little "cold" the last few nights which apparently messed with the presure. Has this ever happened to anyone else and does it happen alot?
