It is recommended to perform this maintenance with the engine cold, as removing the sensor will cause coolant to escape; the sensor is located at the front right (when viewed from the front) of the engine block, right next to the large hose. Disconnect the connector from the sensor, remove the retaining clip with pliers, and pull the sensor from its seat, ensuring that the o-ring gasket comes off as well.

Then, install the new sensor, applying grease to the gasket, secure it with the clip, and reconnect the connector; restore the coolant level, start the engine until it reaches operating temperature, and check the correct functioning of the sensor.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
