  1. The steering angle sensor solely monitors the steering angle, as specified by the 4Matic 300TE. If it is malfunctioning, it will not result in the steering wheel being cockeyed and the vehicle veering to one side. The ASC/ESP system will be deactivated, and the ESP/visit work shop lamp will illuminate if the steering angle sensor malfunctions or detects an incorrect angle.
  2. If the ESP light illuminates and the vehicle maneuvers erratically, it is indicative of an issue with the steering wheel or alignment. Based on the symptoms you have provided, I am of the opinion that the steering angle sensor is not the cause.
  3. Something was either deformed or dislodged. The steering angle sensor is utilized for the ESC/ESP.
  4. While it may be used on any kind of road, I advise using AutoPilot only on highways. I still see it modifying my speed at certain on-ramps or junctions.
  5. What mechanism are you engaging that enables the vehicle to sustain its velocity autonomously? FSD denotes Full Self-Driving. EAP denotes Enhanced AutoPilot, whereas AP refers to Basic Autopilot. TACC stands for Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
  6. This is really beneficial; but, it reiterates the reality that I have never own a vehicle that necessitated opening the window to prevent an odor reminiscent of damp socks. I can see doing this with an old automobile, but this vehicle is almost spanking new.
  7. I see that if I slightly open the windows after parking, the odor does not persist in the vehicle. Upon activating the air conditioning, the first airflow is accompanied by a moldy odor, which subsequently dissipates.
  8. Indeed, I reside in Houston. The vehicle originated from California. I attempted to use Lysol, after first removing the cabin air filter; however, this just resulted in the vehicle emitting an odor reminiscent to moldy Lysol.
  9. Greetings everyone, I am aware that this topic has been previously addressed, but I want current information on the nature of this issue and potential solutions. I own a 2022 Corolla SE hatchback with 16,000 kilometers on it. The vehicle seems and operates well; unfortunately, the odor emanating from the air conditioning system is quite frustrating. This is what I have accomplished: Replaced the cabin air filter. This is ineffective. Operated the heater at maximum heat setting. This method is effective temporarily, but the odor reemerges after a few days. 3. Applied foam cleanser inside the evaporator coil enclosure from the passenger side. This generated a significant amount of brown liquid in the catch pan underneath the vehicle. The problem was temporarily resolved, but the odor is reemerging. 4. Odor neutralizing aerosol 5. Lysol I have never had a vehicle that requires such maintenance, especially one with barely 16,000 miles. Ought I to bring it to the dealership? Is this a claim under warranty?
  10. What is the perspective on operating a 1973 Mercedes 450 SLC without the air temperature sensor, given that it is nonfunctional?
  11. Seeking an air charge temperature sensor compatible with the front of the air cleaner for a 1973 450 SLC, which is no longer in production. Is there an other option for its replacement? I anticipate that this forum will assist me with that. Thank you.
  12. I now own a malfunctioning air temperature sensor and am seeking to get a replacement, or an alternate solution, since the original model is no longer manufactured. The automobile operates well while disconnected; however, it performs poorly when connected to a power source.
  13. Thank you for the information of checking the oil. I will monitor it attentively. Best of luck in locating a seasoned and trustworthy technician. The individual who purchased my S70 a few years before recently had a similar challenge in locating a Volvo technician. My mechanic was too far for him, and his resolution was to dispose of the vehicle. I am aware of some technicians who originated from the now-defunct Volvo dealership and have since established their own enterprises, but they seem to be increasingly uncommon.
  14. I got the vehicle inspected yesterday. A powerful vacuum is no longer present, although a minor vacuum remains. The technician states that this is typical. I neglected to verify the distance. I will attempt to verify, but it was likely about 155,000 at the time of occurrence.
  15. The OBDII was not connected, hence we did not get a code. Apologies. I suspect the vacuum has been removed, but I will verify this and respond promptly.
  16. Indeed, the component has been substituted. My issue was if it is typical for it to still maintain a vacuum. Nonetheless, I operated it, and it seemed to function adequately for me. I will post again if the situation continues. Thank you!
  17. Greetings, My 2013 S60 emitted a sound like to that of a spacecraft when idling. I searched YouTube and saw many videos addressing the replacement of the PCV diaphragm. Consistent with the content of these videos, the noise ceased upon slightly withdrawing the oil dipstick to alleviate vacuum pressure. Procured the component and had it installed yesterday. The technician reported that the automobile no longer produces the whistling noise; nonetheless, a significant vacuum persists, indicating a potential problem may remain. He is not retaining the automobile for further diagnosis since I must transport it to the airport today. Is it typical for a vacuum to persist? I do not remember a vacuum being included over the years I have owned the vehicle. Is it OK to operate the vehicle for around 100 miles each way if I partially remove the dipstick? His stance is, "No, as it may ingest dirt." What other factors could be at play? Am I posting in the incorrect section of the forum? Thank you.
  18. "Possibly, individuals have attempted various remedies on the internet." Indeed, it is the reason for my inquiry...
  19. I hadn't considered it before, but I will see whether it may be removed in the 2023 model.
  20. According to the information provided in the product link: Compatibility: Niro Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), and Electric Vehicle (EV)
  21. https://kiastuff.com/shop-by-model/2023-2024-kia-niro-spare-tire-kit-m048/ Alternatively, does anybody possess knowledge about a post-purchase kit? An external attachment on the back hatch would be excellent, however I am not optimistic about its availability.
