ISG malfunction indicator

OMQ4A045032

ISG may not operate in the event of an ISG related sensor or system error, and the following will occur:

  • The yellow AUTO STOP indicator ( ) blinks for 5 second then remains illuminated on the instrument cluster.

  • The light on the ISG OFF button illuminates.

If the ISG system continuously does not work correctly, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

When the engine is in Idle STOP mode, the engine can restart, even if you do not take any action. Before you leave your vehicle or do anything in the engine compartment, turn off the vehicle to stop the engine.

TIP

If you reconnect or replace the Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) battery, ISG does not operate immediately. Before ISG can activate, the battery sensor must calibrate for approximately 4 hours with the vehicle in OFF position. After the battery sensor calibrates, turn the engine on and off 2 or 3 times.
