2007 kia sorento wheel sensor failure

ABS,ESC and check engine light are on. Car seems to run well except sometimes when idling. Code at Advance Auto says it is the wheel sensor. Any ideas on how to know which one?

You will need a repair shop to
start over, with the proper test
equip & find the side with the failed
wheel hub assy or speed sensor

Not a driveway job

P0355....Ignition Coil E Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction would suggest you need to replace your coil packs. Heat damages them after time and will eventually lead to misfire and very rough running motor especially when it's damp out.

P0700....Transmission Control System Malfunction

I would start researching the possibility of a bad ground, a loose main cable to the battery, etc. If the codes come back, the P0700 can be very serious and could require attention at a Transmission shop or dealership. There is a remote possibility that the codes are entirely unrelated.

A bad wheel sensor will trigger the ESC to light up. This could be caused by a wheel bearing that is going bad causing the sensor to be damaged.

What causes the ESC light off light to come on in 2009 Kia Sorento LX?

You need to have the car scanned for fault codes to begin the diagnosis. Guessing what the actual cause might be in your case and just replacing parts is not a sound approach. Take it to KIA service or an independent familiar with KIA models.

It may just be an ESC sensor on the car that needs replacing due to failure or it could be something more significant. You might now get an ABS warning light as well if you don't have it already.

Your car is still perfectly driveable without the ESC in operation. It is just that you won't have the stability control assistance if you over cook it when driving the car too hard for the road surface conditions. If your drive sensibly for the road conditions experienced, and have decent tires fitted, you should not activate the ESC in any event (when it is working normally).
