Video tutorial

This video shows the complicated procedure for replacing the evaporator temperature sensor on a Ford Mondeo. The replacement of the individual part is straightforward; however, the sensor is located in a difficult-to-reach spot, requiring the disassembly of much of the front interior structure of the car. Remove the side panel that protects the side ducts above the passenger's windscreen and disconnect the electrical connection; unscrew the screws of the passenger side glove box and detach the entire plastic structure between the two seats; once the gear lever is exposed, unscrew the bolts at its base and remove it. Now also disassemble and extract the onboard computer and disconnect its electrical connection.

With access to the bolts securing the dashboard, unscrew them and pull the dashboard assembly towards you: only then can you access the sensor in question. Release it using a hook and replace it with a new one. Reassemble the vehicle as before, reversing the disassembly steps.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
