If you are the owner of the Kia Optima with any engine, especially the 2. In this case, you will have the P code and a lot of scary comments in specialized forums. I've decided to have a look at this code and learn what can cause it and how you may fix the problem. Unfortunately, the P code almost always tells you about a serious problem with the engine, mainly about the rod bearing issue that is going to kill the engine soon. You are lucky enough if the problem happened when the car was under warranty because the natural way to solve the issue is to replace the engine. But a lot of things should be considered first.

P is a very common code to find in the Kia Optima. It indicates that the Knock Sensor Detection System has detected excess engine vibration. An actual engine knock most commonly causes it, but a bad knock sensor or wiring problems are also common causes. Repairing P should be considered a high priority since it indicates your Optima could be experiencing catastrophic engine damage. Note: The Optima has a special warranty due to this issue. Vehicles made by Kia come equipped with a knock sensor detection system. When this happens, P will be stored in the PCM. While a bad sensor or wiring problem can throw P, you should work under the assumption that the code is accurate until you test or replace the sensor. If there is a mechanical issue, replacing the rod bearings is usually what clears P On most Hyundai manufactured vehicles, the knock sensor is on the side of the block and pretty easy to get to.

I also believe that you should be eligible to be reimbursed for all of that towing - that's the way it works on the Hyundai side of the company anyway. I would like to dump the pos but a it will be a three thousand dollar bath, and b some crappy unscrupulous dealer will shiny it up and sell it to another unsuspecting kid for 6 grand and they will own a lemon Thoughts?? I think you can drive it any distance you want but at less than 20 MPH you are not going to get far and you will make a lot of other people that are stuck following you mad and be a safety risk on the roads. Log in. Although this is not the only reason why your Kia Optima may be showing you the P code, it's one of the most common culprits. Low oil pressure is another possible cause of rod knock or the knock sensor throwing a P fault code. Check to make certain oil is in the safe level, and if not, add used oil, then get it to the dealership. It seems that this stealership has done everything required by the TSB, and there's no action listed for vehicles that continue to have the P set, after everything on the list has been done. This is a major problem that usually calls for an engine replacement, and Kia usually covers it with a warranty.

Additionally, we investigate the potential causes so you can get it fixed. The P is a manufacturer-specific code and only shows up in Kia and Hyundai vehicles. At first, you may only notice that the check engine light comes on when the P DTC is set.

Actually, the P code comes from the knock sensor and it just means that the sensor has just registered abnormal knocking in the engine. A couple of weeks ago the engine light started flashing and the car went into limp mode. Look up the site yourself and navigate to it. Two expensive 80 mile tows. The kit includes a new wiring harness, some tape, and some zip ties. However it does seem you might have a rod knock which means a new short block. I could not believe my ears. The highest-possible rating would be percent iso-octane. It will pay off in the long run. I'll keep monitoring. The P fault code in diesel engine Kias has an entirely different meaning.
