Check this Out!
The issue was addressed in the "Tech Times" section of the www.kiatechinfo.com website long time ago; But instead of a TSB or a regular recall, it was covered as a Newsletter article; however I have the number of the Document:
The Kia Document KT2005022826 covers that temperature / code P0128 issue, addressing that the problem and the solution is pretty simple; the fix was listed as a Flash of the car's ECM in order to load revised thermostat monitoring logic. That's it.
The local Kia dealer is unable to do that, somehow... so I simply don't care for the check engine light that comes to visit and goes unexpectedly, like a boring visitor.
So, mi kind suggestion is: Try to get the ECU updated at your local Kia dealer, before throwing dollars on such money pit of thermostats, without resolving the issue.
Kind Regards.
Not exactly, let me Explain:So no known TSB's, other issues with my model and this code?
