Let's not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of this Kia Carens. Heating and cooling are mechanisms that lower or increase the temperature of the air. The first by means of the heat generated by the engine block, and the second with the help of a fluid refrigerant . Your ventilation is the totality of the ducts and devices which give the possibility of the air to arrive inside. The essential element is the kicker which sends air into your cabin. In the event that the air arrives little or not at all, it is probably a ventilation problem. We will see from this text how a ventilation works, in order to better discern the concerns and understand how to resolve it.
How ventilation works on a Kia Carens
Ventilation is used to begin to regenerate the air inside the cabin of this Kia Carens. Regarding the blower, it often consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The lower the total resistance of the electrical system, the faster the turbine turns. By turning the button in the vehicle, the resistance is therefore lowered.
Kia Carens: regular ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
When the ventilation works but a small amount of air arrives in the cabin of this Kia Carens, it is plausible that these air shutters are clogged. Using a screwdriver flat, do not hesitate to disassemble the air shutter covers. You just have to check inside if they are blocked. If this is what happens, do not hesitate to clean them, but also the shutters.
Dirty cabin filter
When you see effluxes and ventilation is poor, the problem probably comes from the cabin filter of this Kia Carens. It clogs and accumulates bacteria with time. It remains completely common that it is dirty, it is there to clarify the air that reaches you. There is no instruction from the manufacturer as to when to change it. We advise you stupidly to remove it, check its condition. When it is particularly black, it will be necessary to change it.
Resistance of the blower HS
When the ventilation settings of the Kia Carens do not work well, if not really, it is probably due to the resistance. The resistance increases the voltage to increase the speed of the turbine. A strange malfunction of the ventilation is probably due to a resistance problem. This little microchip is difficult to troubleshoot. We will have to change it.
HS blower motor
There are several fairly regular concerns about the kicker. The brushes may be worn out. Over time, they can deteriorate and cause false contact. Your kicker may spin randomly, and not even spin at all. It also happens that the problem comes from bearings of the motor. When the ventilation produces a hissing sound, like a rusty mechanic, it is possible that its bearings lack lubrication.
