2007 KIA CARNIVAL Workshop Manual

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REPLACEMENT
1.Remove the battery and air cleaner. (see "Transaxle range switch replacement")
2. Remove the output shaft speed sensor(A).
(1) Disconnect the output shaft speed sensor connector(B).
(2) Remove the bolt(C).
(3) Inspect the output shaft speed sensor bore.
3. Apply a light coat of automatic transaxle fluid to the O - ring seal before installation.
4. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Transaxle Oil Temperature Sensor

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Oil Temperature Sensor
The oil temperature sensor is of the thermistor type, and senses the automatic transaxle fluid temperature. Using the
signal from this sensor, TCM(PCM) controls the shift pattern optimally during shift. In order to operate the damper
clutch, this signal is also referred.
- Range of temperature : - 40°C~145°C
- Type: Separated type (High / Low temperature)
- Standard value of internal resistance

REPLACEMENT
1.Remove the automatic transaxle assembly.
2. Remove the valve body cover(refer to the overhaul manual).
3. Disconnect the oil temperature sensor connector.
4. Remove the oil temperature sensor(B), loosening the mounting bolt(A).
5.Replace the sensor with the new one and reassemble the rest of the parts.
INSPECTION
1.Remove the oil temperature sensor(A).
2.Measure the resistance between the terminal 1 and 2 of the sensor connector.

If the value is out of the specfication, replace the oil temperature sensor.

Inhibiter Switch

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Inhibitor Switch
- Type: Rotary contact type
- Range of temperature : - 40°C~145°C( - 40°F~293°F)
Inhibitor Switch - Continuity check(Sports mode)

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REPLACEMENT
1.Pull up the parking brake.
2. Position the shift lever in 'N' range.
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Remove the battery tray.
6. Remove the inhibiter switch connector.
7. Remove the shift cable mounting nut(A).
8.Remove the inhibiter switch loosening the mounting bolts.
9. Refering to 'INSPECTION', check for continuity. If there is an error, replace the inhibiter switch.
10. After tightening the shift cable mounting nut, connect the inhibiter switch.
11. Install the battery, battery tray and the air cleaner assembly.
INSPECTION
1.Check for the starter motor when the ignition switch is at 'START' position and the shift lever at 'P' or 'N' range.
2. Check for the rear lamp when the ignition switch if it does not work properly.
3. Check for the inhibiter switch if it does not work properly.
4. If the inhibiter switch is not fixed in a proper position, reassemble it in the right position.
5. Re- check 1 and 2 procedures.
6. Using a scan tool, confirm the DTCs.
7. Disconnect the battery ( - ) terminal and the inhibiter switch.
8. Check for continuity between terminals at the switch connector.

9.If there is not continuity between the terminals in the table above for each switch position, replace the inhibiter
switch.
ADJUSTMENT
1.Set the select lever to the "N" position.
2. Loosen the control cable to manual control lever coupling nut to free the cable and lever.
3. Set the manual control lever to the neutral position.
4.Loosen the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts and then turn the transaxle range switch body so the hole
in the end of the manual control lever and the hole (cross section A- A in the figure) in the flange of the transaxle
range switch body flange are aligned.
5. Tighten the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts to the specified torque. Make sure at this time that the
position of the switch body did not move.
TORQUE :
10~12Nm (1.0~1.2kgf.m, 7~8lb - ft)
