The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[mikey177]

Okay, thanks diesoline and salonika. I knew that diesel engines were built to be more sturdy than their gasoline counterparts, but I had no idea of exactly how much more durable they are. Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like I've got at least another 100,000-km to go before I start to think of an overhaul again

di ba sir yung brake pads sa harap may sensor? so pag napudpud na, it might trigger the warning light indicator...

rodski, how much yung damage ng orig na pads?
yung sakin kasi parang may vibration pag medyo soft lang yung apak mo, parang hindi fit so dumudulas, causing vibrations pag slow speed and light na tapak lang.

Trendy08,

The front brakes have a brake thickness warning via "squeak" springs. Pag manipis na mag squeak yung pads. Its that simple. However, during mornings or after rains may kaunting squeak yung brakes dahil sa rust formation and the brakes are still warming up. If however, matagal ng umaandar yung carnival at may squeak everytime you brake, manipis na iyon.

The warning indicator in th e dash board signals two conditions. Brake fluid level and parking brake engaged. If the brake warning lights up while driving especially during a brake condition then yung fluid medyo below sa allowable level. Either may leak or manipis na yung pads.

As for the shudder when braking. Check the rotor, pads, tires, balancing, wheel bearing, bushings. Or the brake pads are not yet warmed up to function efficiently.

tnx

Altec,

The brake warning light lighting up is a sign that the level of the brake fluid is low. This happens when your brake pads and shoes are worn out. This happen to me. Don't fill up your brake fluid because when you replace your pads or shoes the brake fluid level will return to full. tnx

Rodski

OT with one year to pay for my carnival, ok bang i preterminate yung loan para ma transfer na ang ownership sa akin? Makaka mura ba ako pag ganoon?The reason is so that puwedeng ibenta t bumili ng new generation 2006 sedona.

Altec... I'm also experiencing this in my unit thou once in a while na lang unlike before changing the pads. As wheels told me, the possible cause is the same as what Rodski told us.... but.... i don't think na pads or fluid lang and cause, di ko lang alam kung ano. My brother-in-laws' unit now has this problem often and he replaced all those mentioned remedy to no avail. isip-isip pa din ko ng possible cause.....

RE : Brake warning light

Hi Guys, sa biglang decelaration nyo ba na experience and brake warning light? minsan kahit yung ABS warning nag light din ? or sometime yung airbag warning (icon na may tao) ? well this happened to me a three years ago with my Kia Carnival .

Far out ang cause .. but it is for you to verify ..

cause : autotensioner nang fan belt (dalawa lang naman ang fan belt nyan pang makina and para sa aircon. So if malapit na masira ang auto tensioner mo lumuluwag na ang belt kaya iba iba ang pwede umilaw dahil once na lumuwag ang fan belt dun lahat connected yun , air brake compressor, ABS , battery alternator , power steering . etc..

or simple change of fan belt at 750 pesos sa GoodGear taft avenue

Sana nakatulong ako sa inyo.. kasi medyo mahirap talaga madetect ang cause minsan..


even yung airbag assembly minsan hindi sa airbag ang defect , yung computer wire connection sa loob nang steering naputol kaya iilaw ang airbag . meaning not functioning ... the cost of that is around 4,500 buong assembly (not sure of the right term.. di ako technical eh)

Hey! What happened to our thread??? It was over 65 pages and now it's back to page 35! Did the board get hit by a virus?

Victory.... In my case, I've done this also ---- changing the fan belt and checking the aircon belt---- last time i encountered the warping of the fan belt pero still encountered the warning hand brake light signal once in a while... kaya for me mukhang hindi eh...

Also on the panel lights........ last week when i tried to tap an electronic volt meter via the lighter outlet, the lights at hazard's and defogger's button went out as in these buttons do not illumunate when park light is on..... thou hazard lights and defogger respond when these buttons are depressed... any experience on this? TIA

The Sedona/Carnival manual is finished scanning and is already in a CD. The CD says its 178MB! Those who are interested, PM me how you want it. Either send via yahoo, or a cd copy? For those who want via yahoo and provides me with your email add, sabay sabay ko na lang ipadala. It comes in 2 folders, one folder for the owner's manual, and the other for the built in audio system. Each page is 1 jpeg file.

Mikey, I checked our manual, they closest thing I saw to transmission oil is transaxle fluid. Is this the same? If so, it says to replace every 40,000km.
