Subject: New EDIR clarifications

Bob.

I received a number of EDIR today and there are some that need clarification:

There is a report for Kia Sportage 2.0L (fuel adaptation error) that does not have an EDIR # on it. The Engine Families in

teh report look like they are missing a character (9KMT02.0KW5 and AKMT02.0KW5).

The manufacturer follow-up for the following EDIR does not explain what the fix is. They only state that a TSB will be

published to educate techs on how to handle with the condition

EDIR 2011.02.10.01

EDIR 2011.02.10.06

and

EDIR 2011.02.11.01 only states that a TSB will be published to provide reprogramming information to dealers.

Reprogram what?

Sincerely,

Michael Stephens
