guyskin Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago This 2018 Kia Stonic is mine. 'Check system' was the notification that popped up on my dashboard a few weeks ago. The reverse camera is fully functional. After using the screwdriver approach to verify each sensor, I still received the error message, so I'm not sure it's the sensors. I even bought replacement sensors and attempted using them in lieu of the originals, but they didn't work either. Then what should I verify? I rely more on the camera than the sensors, and I'm old enough to have driven many cars without them, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on this. It appears that many Kia owners are experiencing this problem and have not found a definitive solution. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It will not pass the mot if the warning notice is visible, therefore take it to the dealer for a full diagnosis. I understand that you would rather not spend money on the automobile, but each time you purchase a component and it doesn't function, it's money wasted! If you're fortunate, your neighbourhood repair shop may offer a diagnostic kit that can identify the solution for a little less money, or you may just spend an hour of effort and get the answer.

guyskin Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Well, I suppose I'll give my neighbourhood repair shop a ride. I had no idea if it would fail the MOT or not. I am grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard_silver Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago On eBay, you can get an ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter for next to nothing, and the Torque app, which can read it, is available for free on Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
