Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Sudden loss of drive power or speed limitation while driving, sometimes on the highway, tied to Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure.
  • Complete 12V electrical shutdown, disabling hazard lights, door locks, and the ability to shift to neutral, requiring a tow.
  • Charging failures on both AC and DC, including breakers tripping at home and DC fast-charge sessions ending early, attributed by Kia to the ICCU.
  • Battery Management System (BMS) fault codes, such as a battery temperature sensor error, left unresolved for extended periods at the dealership.
  • Warning lights for 'STOP vehicle,' 'check power,' and '12V battery' appearing together with erratic dash behavior and failure to hold a charge.
  • Repeat visits where the dealer replaced parts (battery, then ICCU) without resolving the underlying power-loss issue.
