Two Common Kia: Push Start Issues(2010-2013)

This is quick Video to show how to start your kia vehciles with a push button start if it will not start., one is a dead battery in the remote and the other is a bad brake switch.
Please pay close attention to the immobilizer light. If it is not present or flashing there is a immo issue on the vehicle.
Also not that immo issue are more common in Canada and not the U.S.A Due do our laws.
Hope you enjoy:P

Hello!! I just purchased a 2013 Kia Optima hybrid from a used car dealership today. It drove and started perfectly at the dealership and drove great on the way home. When I went to leave my house about 3 hours later it started and I went to back out of my driveway and when going to put it into drive it shut off. I tried starting it again and got a few notices saying “check charging system.” This may be a battery issue bc when I got portable cables I was able to get the car to start about an hour later. I took the battery to oreileys and they said that the 12 volt battery was showing 11 volts after being tested but that this shouldn’t cause these kind of issues. These issues are a little more complex than the one shown in this video, but since you seem to have a lot of knowledge about cars I thought I should reach out anyways just Incase you knew anything! If you don’t I totally understand!! Thank you for all you do to try to help people out with their cars(:

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Hello on thank you for reaching out.. now on the Kia Optima Hybrid. Your starter and alternator are on the same unit.. so a starter/alternator combo. So on a conventional vehicle a battery at 11typically would not cause an issue but on a hybrid it could cause the vehicle not to start.. now you said the battery was showing 11v but how many cca's.... the battery should be load tested. Second you would also have to check the charging voltage while the vehicle is running, 3rd the belts for the vehicle should be checked. 4th-- since you just purchased the vehicle I would bring it back to the used car dealership and explain the situation. If they want to keep a good standing name , it is normally in their best interest to fix the issue. I know here in Canada(Quebec) there is a law that used vehicles come with a 1month 2500km warranty. I don't know about where you are. So to sum it up. 1-Contact dealer 2-Have battery load tested 3-have charging system tested 4-check all belts(2x) Hope this helps

For my Kia Majentis 2010, with a 2.7 litre, the immobiliser light comes on, along with the engine, oil and battery light. Battery is brand new in the car and the key, and oil was just changed, but the car won’t start. I tried both methods because we were thinking it was the immobiliser, but the starter won’t even turn over (my best guess is that it’s potentially the starter but not 100% certain). Any ideas?

[@JLsAutoSolution]

sorry for the late reply 1-if you have a remote starter, have it removed and all the wiring repaired 2-I would suggest you have the vehicle scanned for dtcs*full system scan. 3-if that passes then i would move on to the starter for testing- *note that this could lead to the brake switch/push button/ smart key module/relay / fuses/wiring/fuse box.* there is no easy way to diagnose a no start hopefully you get an experienced technician and they can locate the issue quickly. thanks for watching

I’ve been having this issue as of the last few days as well; 2013 Sorento. 6 weeks ago, I replaced my alternator after getting stuck in a parking lot. 4 days ago, I replaced the battery when I got stuck again. The very next day, i stalled in park and needed a jump to drive. It was determined by multiple mechanics that the alternator had been installed poorly, was stripped and actually had loose wiring. New alternator installed and now I have this problem; the car will sometimes need multiple pushes of the ignition switch to start. No more than 3; I’m usually up and running in 10 seconds regardless; but this has never happened before the new alternator was put in. I’m dropping the car off at the mechanic today for diagnostic; any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! …one more thing; it’s NOT the key fob battery 😂

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Seems like it may be related to the starting circuit. have you had it fixed yet?

[@vmancini218c]

The first time this happen to me it worked but now its doinh it to me again and I'm doing it as you said and it won't start.

[@Maneiser]

Nice vid. That that has broadened my horizon again. But how do you know (second scenario), that the brake switch is the reason for that? Actually you have to press the brake. If you do not, there should no ignition be possible. The key fob pressed on the start button, bridges ALL failures in the system, but not just a bad brake switch. Following that, there could be another reason for a not starting engine, i.e. the starter button itself [imho].

[@JLsAutoSolution]

personal experience-- just listen for the neutral safety switch in the shifter assembly, if it doesnt click there is an issue, also look at the brake lights- if they do not light while pressing the brake pedal the brake switch is most likely at fault. I have been working on with kia since 2010, so i have seen a lot of issues.. thanks for watching and the question.

[@rachellcerino2497]

Hi my kia rio 2013 push start button doesn’t start, they scan it and it says immobilizer smart key no response. Immobilizer light is on. Does it need a immo code to re-program? TIA.

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Hi Rachel. Thanks for reaching out. So a no response message means that the pcm is not receiving the signal from the key to start the vehicle. Now this could be anything from key/fuse/wiring/ or module. 1st question is- does the vehicle have a remote starter. If so have it removed and wiring repaired. 2- yes you need a pin code in order to program the keys, unfortunately these are not normally available to the public. But if you have all the documentation to prove that the vehicle is yours, you could fight a little to get the pin code...(new/old). If not a lock smith or dealer will be your best bet for reprogramming. Or maybe a free lancer. So in other words I would strongly suggest getting the vehicle a proper diagnosis. This code normally takes maximum 2hrours to diagnose. Hopes this helps. And don't forget a second opinion could save you thousands. Thanks for watching

[@richardwilliams2989]

I have the exact same problems except I don’t have that light show up on my dash. The immobilizer light. Any ideas? When I jump the car it turns on immediately and then I’m good for a couple days before this all happens again

[@JLsAutoSolution]

if you live in the U.S.A, it was not mandatory for vehicle manufacturers to put immobilizers in their vehicles, where as is in Canada it is mandatory. So you may not have an immo system on your vehicle. i would check for a bad alternator or maybe even a starter that is beginning to go bad(burnt solenoid contacts)... test don't guess😁

[@thenegotiator8148]

What if your car doesn’t detect the key and you can not find the special spot for the key like inside that center console? I have a 2014 Kia Cadenza that’s doesn’t detect my key. We have removed the battery wires reset the entire car the battery is new in the fob.

[@JLsAutoSolution]

On the cadenza there is no slot.. take and hold brake pedal while pressing and holding the start button with the key. It should at least illuminate the dash. After holding it for roughly 10sec the vehicle should start. It is very important to know if your vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system. In Canada it is mandatory while in the U.S.A it is optional. 1-If the dash does not illuminate, verify that your vehicle's battery is good. 2- while pushing the start button verify that the immobilizer light comes on and stays on. *If the immobilizer light comes and starts flashing 5times then goes out, There is an immobilizer issue. On Kia vehicles produced in 2014 and up there are no slots.. I will be creating another video to address these issues As you are not the first person to comment on this subject. Thanks for watching.

Hello. So from what i understand the shop did not fix your issue. These 2 causes in this video are either the brake switch, or the battery for the key. Without knowing if there are any dtcs in the system its difficult to make a diagnostic plan. Bring it back to the shop and ask for this information. And also if was not a dealer.. How they got the pincode to reprogram the immobilizer system. Thanks for watching
