It won't automatically reset. Most parts stores will check / reset the code for free, and if it doesn't reset, they can tell you what kind of code is causing the problem.

Need to locate bank 1 sensor 2 in my 2004 kia spectra. Where can I find it in the the engine to replace it?

Considering I believe you only have 1 bank, it would be the 2nd oxygen sensor in your exhaust system, 1 st O2 sensor being the closest to your Catalytic convertor, the 2nd one is a little further down the line.

2008 kia spectra 4 cylinder heater circuit sensor 1 bank 1 location

It is the first O2 sensor you come to on the exhaust system. Usually in the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter. Heater circuits are 99% of the time the O2 sensor...1% is wiring on the harness side..

Have 03 spectra with codes po650, poo30 and po134. charged ac clutch is engaged but blowing hot air. is all this related

To clarify, none of this has anything to do with your a/c.
Code 650 is for a problem with the check engine light circuit.
Code 30 and 134 involve the heater circuit for the O2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter. The O2 sensors have a heater that allows the sensors to start working quickly after you start the engine. The sensor and the heater circuit would need to be tested.
The O2 sensors have nothing to do with your car heater or A/C.

Where is O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 on a 2006 kia spectra

Bank one sensor one should be the sensor in front of the catalytic converter. Bank two would be on the side with cylinder 2 if you had a V6 engine.

I have a 2007 Kia Spectra EX Sedan check engine light problem, the light stays on and the gas cap is on properly. It has 88,000 miles on it and I have noticed that I am getting less gas milage and the car...

Could be a number of things. A common problem is the O2 sensors. Shoot down to your local Autozone or Pep Boys and have them pull eror codes out of the system. That will tell you where to start looking

Where are the 02 sensors located on a 23005 Kia

They are located on the exhaust system, most cars have atleast 2, the first is the before the cat converter or also known as the up steam o2, The second being the down stream o2 which is located behind the cat converter.

They almost look like a spark plug sticking out of the exhaust pipe with a few wires coming out the top of it.

o2 Sensors can be very costley I would suggest having your local auto parts store such as Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts resetting your engine light, They will do it for free, also if you use some high test gas for your emissions inspection as well as make sure the car is run for a little bit before going to have the test you will find by doing this it will drop all your numbers needed to pass the test.

It is a very good chance that once the light is reset it won't come back on.

Good Luck and I hope this helps.
