Alright, I'm grateful. I'll get to those and get back to you.

Sure, I'm grateful. What I have discovered is this: Problems and Their Solutions Most often, a faulty brake light switch is to blame when the main light comes on but the speedometer remains unset. Two individual circuits make up the switch. The first one activates the brake lights, and the second one signals to the cruise control system that you aren't applying the brakes. If the second circuit doesn't work, the vehicle will assume you're braking and won't set. Verify that the brake lights are functioning properly; however, keep in mind that a faulty internal switch for the cruise control may be present even if the outside lights are operational. In most cases, you can fix the problem by replacing this cheap switch that is located above the brake pedal. A secondary clutch pedal switch informs the engine computer if the clutch is engaged, which is only present in Sorentos with manual transmissions. The cruise control will not allow you to select a speed if this switch is malfunctioning or not properly positioned. Problems with the "SET / COAST" or "+" / "-" rocker switches on the steering wheel could be due to loose wire ribbons or worn internal contacts; however, the master power button is functional and illuminates the dashboard. The vehicle's computer will prevent the cruise control from engaging if the speed sensor fails to provide a consistent reading. Suggested Following Actions To check the brake lights, either have someone else hold the rearview mirror while you press down on the brake pedal, or go around to a reflective surface. Connect an OBD2 scanner to your Sorento. A broken brake switch or cruise circuit can still cause the body or powertrain computer to store specific fault codes, even when the check engine light is not on.

Yes, please!

Have you been diligently following these steps: Using the Cruise Control Buttons: A Quick Guide Turn the system on or off by pressing this main button. On your dashboard, you'll see an indicator light. SET / -: Press or pull the toggle/lever down toward SET- to lock in your desired speed after you've reached it (must be above 20 mph / 30 km/h). To increase your set speed or return to your previous speed after braking, push the toggle or lever up toward RES+.

Quite typical, in my opinion. It should have been noted that I attempted to activate the cruise control multiple times while traveling on the highway.

Under 20 mph, ours won't engage. Move forward.

The 2010 Sorento, which was manufactured in June, has a 2.2-liter gasoline-powered engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. However, there seems to be an issue with the cruise control. The dashboard displays an activation light, but the cruise control does not activate. I've heard that this could be related to the speed sensor, but I would greatly appreciate any confirmation before I begin looking for replacement parts.

Acquire this to obtain the appropriate fittings: Connect it, and subsequently, you may modify it to your preference.

Accurate measurements and understanding the fittings should facilitate a replacement. 👍

An extensive narrative, yet the initial pipe has been misplaced.

Indeed, I occupied the EV3 and found the vehicle quite impressive; it features an interior nearly identical to the EV2, albeit somewhat larger in all dimensions. In my opinion, the EV2 is perfectly suited for a retired couple and is comparable in size to the Stonic, being a few centimetres shorter yet slightly wider, with a marginally larger trunk and a more spacious cabin feel.

I am approximately a year away from replacing my Stonic, but I also appreciated the EV2 during the initial driving event. Nonetheless, to add complexity, I have also had an EV3 as a service loan for a day, and it was quite remarkable. I would contemplate a low mileage EV3 in comparison to a new EV2. Issues of the affluent class.

I have a £16,000 trade-in; go test drive whichever car you desire afterward. It’s a truly appealing vehicle, and I appreciate its contemporary design, which seems to be ahead of its time in my opinion. I will have a home charger installed, which should reduce my fuel expenses by £700.

I find myself in a comparable situation, albeit only 8000 miles away. I am contemplating an EV2 as well. What was the permitted amount for your Stonic?

After three years of ownership, I believe it's time for a transition; I have driven 16,000 miles during this period, and the vehicle has been completely dependable without any issues, thus I consider it an excellent car. However, circumstances evolve, and I have ordered an EV 2, hoping it will match the reliability of my Stonic.

I believe it is not straightforward; there appears to be a missing code, but could you explain the values that the ECU is adjusting for various pressure ranges for each injector? Unable to locate any screenshots online, yet SDS at least displays them... I recall a comparable situation from the past... yet I cannot recollect the resolution.

Should a professional establishment refurbish and re-evaluate the injector on a specialised testing apparatus, it will produce a new calibration code indicative of its revised internal components. You are required to input this new code into the ECU. If solely the internal components are substituted while the external casing/original code remains intact, certain economical rebuilders retain the original stamped code.

I will introduce some cleaning solution into it and operate it for a period. To be fair, it operates adequately without emitting black smoke, although the fuel efficiency is merely 32.5.

Others might disagree with me, but I am convinced that the ECU will adjust the injectors as time progresses and with usage. If they are able to function within specified limits. However, I am merely an individual online who believes he possesses some knowledge.

Regrettably, I possess no records regarding the vehicle. Acquired at a bidding event.
