The Kia Sportage models produced from 2017 to 2023 have an issue related to the alarm system. The culprits of the continuous malfunction could be the hood switches, internal sensors, or the key fob. Before going to the workshop for a computerized diagnosis to check for any error codes, let's check the status of the sensors and remove any corrosion or debris if necessary.

If the problem is due to a malfunctioning remote, we can reprogram it and replace the battery. Many vehicles solve the issue by updating the software of the engine control unit.
