Hate to say it but if it's grinding it's wheel bearing time.

Question edited to add your year make model. That must be in every question please. I just recognised your name. Question moved to sub category. Crazy place where is can get wet! Under passenger carpet. https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+kia+sedona+ex+ecu+location ..

Is the engine smoking?

it is sensing wide open throttle and low manifold vacuum with medium to high engine load. check and replace sensors and transmission accumulator as necessary

It shouldn't. Get a workshop to test your mass airflow sensor

Also, besides coolant level, the heater core may be restricted and the temp blend door may be inoperative .

If your model has one, it should be behind a panel behind the glove box. Not all models were equipped with a filter. There are videos on youtube that show installation for each model.

It's not the DRL. you have a bad round.

On bank two on the engine

• Low oil level;
• Oil broken down or contaminated;
• Clogged oil filter;
• Bad oil pump;
• Clogged sump pickup in oil pan.

DO NOT START OR DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL YOU HAVE REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. Running the car now will cause PERMANENT DAMAGE to your engine.

I hope this diagram helps.

I have cared for two Sedonas for several years. I seem to remember the diesel filter being under the bonnet near the front r/h corner. Apologies if I am wrong.

There is a transmission pan on the bottom of the car, it will have about 15 bolts. If there is a drain plug use that to drain the fluid before taking that pan off. If there is not a drain plug I usually slowly loosen all the bolts with one corner coming down faster until it start draining from one corner. You won't get all of it out like this but you will get it good enough to drop the pan. Keep catch bucket under it the whole time. Once you get the pan off dump out the excess fluid, pull off the gasket and clean off any remaining pieces of the gasket. The good gaskets can be used again but I as a rule of thumb always replace with new. After fully drained clean up the mounting area on the transmission and clean up the pan. This includes cleaning off the magnet in the pan of all the metal shavings. If you did not have a drain plug I would HIGHLY recommend putting one in at this point...they are cheap. Now, the filter is the pan looking device that is attached to the exposed transmission. These are just a rubber gasket holding them up in there so pull and twist. The new one will have the replacement on it. You will just have to push the new one into place. Once everything is cleaned, the magnet is back in place and the filter is in place you are ready to put the pan back. You should be able to put the gasket on and then push the bolts through and be held in place. Finger tighten all bolts in place first and then tighten them down. Very important not to over tighten and to do these with very consistent and even pressure. I alternate and criss cross as I tighten. A torque wrench would be advised. If you over tighten these you will crush the gasket and have leaks and you will have to get a new gasket and start over. Make sure the car is fully cooled before doing this. That fluid really holds the heat.

check the oil and coolant levels . Check engine temperature . Have the fault codes read as the light shows a serious problem that will be expensive if ignored

Hi Ashley,here's a link to what the switch looks like,it's located above the oil filter,may have to remove filter to get to,but,just remove electrical connector from switch and get wrench,may need a stubby one(short one),tight area.

Google itGo to an exhaust parts site & look at your systemLook under the car,that takes about 4 seconds to do

you need to burp the system lift vehicle so front wheels are higher then back and run vehicle with heat on and coolant resivour cap off for about 30 mins
