Kia Sorento: EPB malfunction indicator

If you press the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, and the engine turns OFF after approximately 3 seconds while the system is operating normally, the following warning light appears:

If the EPB malfunction indicator remains ON, appears while you are driving, or does not appear when you press the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, this indicates that the EPB may have malfunctioned. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

When the ESC indicator appears because the ESC is not working properly, the EPB malfunction indicator may also appear. This does not indicate a malfunction of the EPB.

NOTE

The EPB warning light may appear if the EPB switch operates abnormally. Turn the engine OFF, then turn it back ON after a few minutes. The warning light disappears, and the EPB switch operates normally. If the EPB warning light remains ON, have the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

If the EPB warning light blinks or does not appear, even when you pull up the EPB switch, this indicates that the EPB has not been applied.

If the EPB warning light blinks, press and then pull up the EPB switch. Press it back into its original position and pull it back up. If the EPB warning light does not turn OFF, have the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
