Why is my Kia check engine light not working?
Your oxygen sensor measures the amount of unburned oxygen in your vehicle’s exhaust system. If you don’t have it replaced your engine will burn more fuel then needed, you will have a loss in fuel economy, and faulty sensors can cause damage to your spark plugs and catalytic converter.
What does the maintenance required light mean on a Kia?

What causes the Check Engine light to go off?
If the gas cap is loose, tighten it and continue driving. Even after tightening, it will take some time for the light to go off. The check engine light is most commonly caused by one of five factors; the O2 sensor, a loose gas cap, the catalytic converter, the mass airflow sensor or the vehicle’s spark plug wires.
What was the code on my Kia Rondo?
On the 12/24/09 my check engine light came on, took it to the KIA dealership to get it looked at and the code that came up was PO441. This is sumthing dealing with the EVAP system. The dealership told me that my Purge Control Valve needed to replaced. They erased the code and the engine light went off.
Can a Kia Rondo top off after refueling?
Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling. Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise the Check Engine light will illuminate. However, it sounds more serious than that if its been at the dealer for a week. Let us know the results.

Can a check engine light be an oxygen sensor?
It seems as though the check engine light and O2 Sensor codes have always gone hand in hand. I can’t even begin to tell you how many perfectly good sensors I’ve seen replaced for a rich/lean code, or as a cure to a service engine light that comes and goes. Fact is, when oxygen sensors were first being used, they did tend to fail.

What does check engine light mean on catalytic converter?
The check engine light will come on if it’s below this threshold, determined by oxygen sensors that are located before and after the catalytic converter. The sensors will trigger an Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) trouble code that’s stored in your car’s computer. OBD Code P0420 means the catalyst system efficiency is below the threshold.
What kind of warning light does a catalytic converter need?
Vehicle warning lights. An illuminated check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (CEL or MIL) with a catalytic converter diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is the most common catalytic converter problem indicator.
