#50 of 59 Re: wiring ideas for 01 Sportage. [lmp4] by bkirbey Mar 19, 2009 (9:33 am)
Replying to: lmp4 (Feb 04, 2009 8:31 am) no codes in system. Replaced ecm as kia said that was the problem. No change. Found an ecu-etwis in front of shifter under console, but can't find out what this does or if it could be problem. KIA dealer service manager said he can replace it ( for $200) but doesn't know what it's function is. I am starting to think they hire anyone without automotive knowledge to be their mechanics and managers!!! Has anyone heard of this piece (ecu-etwis) or if it could be involved?

Replying to: bkirbey (Mar 19, 2009 9:33 am) ETACS and ETWIS are synomynous. Electronic Time and Alarm COntrol System Electronic Time and Warning Indication System THis controls alarms, door lock control, remote control...etc. register (free) to www.kiatechinfo.com and search for your car model    THis "no fuel problem" plagues a lot of sporty owners but I suspect antitheft control might be involved. Noone ever came with a clue once he solved the problem...or maybe no one did... ...are all transmission connecetors checked out properly in place ?..mmm..well the starter would not even activate if it were not the case....   p.s. I had replied to your duplicate post but removed it to avoid the confusion of parrallel threads....

#54 of 59 01 Sportage 4WD won't idle by allaboutjo Jul 07, 2009 (7:04 am)
I just replaced the starter in my 4wd 01 sportage....In order for me to do this I had to take off the EFI system on top of the motor and disconnect the fuel rail from the Injectors. I replaced the o-rings on top of the injectors since I was there. Got everything put back together, but now check engine light is on and the hold light is flashing on the dash. I am able to get car started but it will not idle as it keeps stalling out when not pressing on the gas....Can anyone be of assistance? I did not want to have to drive it to autozone to get codes read due to it not idling. I am at my wits end with this repair as it has been one thing after another.
#55 of 59 Theft Deterrent System Sportage 2001 (4 door, stick) by tomekca Sep 21, 2009 (1:36 pm)
In my 8 years I have never used the Theft Deterrent system aside from enabling it by accident 3 times. The first two times I was able to disable it. This last time I cannot, no matter what I try. As soon as I put the key in on either the driver or passanger side and turn left or right, the horn goes off and lights flash.   The only way to stop it is to slide the key into the ignition (without having to start the car!).   As soon as I close the doors and lock, either by pushing the door lock buttons down, or by using the key (once again, turining it right or left), the Deterrent system is activated by the single horn honking.   If I lock the doors while driving in the car, then stop and turn off the engine, the horns will go off once I pull the key out. I need to slide the key back in to silence the horn, then I can get out and shut the doors and the system rearms itself.   Anyone had ideas what to do? I can't keep waking my neighbors up each time I need to use the car.   Thanks tom

Replying to: fitzyou2 (Sep 25, 2009 8:31 pm) Kia has a tech info center but I don't know how far back it goes.   The link (and some others) can be found in the Online Repair Manuals guide.
