How to fix the ignition timing adjustment connector short-circuit

Error Code: DTC P1300
Description: Igniter Circuit Malfunction
Solution:
To repair the code please do the following:
1. Check spark plugs.
2. Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGF (Ignition Confirmation) signal circuit between ECM and igniter.
3. Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminal IGF of ECM connector and body ground.
4. Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGT1 - 3 signal circuit between ECM and igniter.
5. Check voltage between terminals IGT1 - 3 of ECM connector and body ground.
6. Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminals IGT1 - 3 of ECM connector and body ground.
8. Check for open and short in harness and connector between ignition switch and ignition coil, ignition coil and igniter.
9. Check and replace ignition coils with a good known one.
10. Check and replace ECM with good a known one .
Hope that works.

Flashing D4 light is an error from the TCU (transmission control unit), so you got something going on with your transmission. If you want to pull the error code, remove the passengers side kick panel and look for a pair of wires with a blue connector at the end. Stick a paper clip or some other piece of wire into each hole of the connector to short the wires. Put your key in the ignition and turn 2 clicks. The D4 light will flash the code...short flashes=1 and long flashes=10. Add the number of short and long flashes to get your code. Errors are below:

0-Transmission control unit (TCU) faulty.
1-Lock-up solenoid 'A' circuit open or shorted.
2-Lock-up solenoid 'B' circuit open or shorted.
3-Throttle Position Sensor circuit open or shorted.
4-Vehicle Speed Sensor open or shorted - No signal from speedometer.
5-Shift Lever Position Switch circuit shorted.
6-Shift Lever Position Switch circuit open.
7-Shift Solenoid 'A' circuit open or shorted.
8-Shift Solenoid 'B' circuit open or shorted.
9-Counter shaft or transmission speed pulse generator open or shorted.
10-Coolant Temperature Sensor open or shorted.
11-Engine RPM (Ignition coil signal) open or shorted.
12-(No code 12 used)
13-Main shaft speed pulse generator open or shorted.
14-Linear (line pressure control) solenoid open or shorted.
15-Kick down switch circuit shorted.

Hope helps.

Sounds like a shorted wire.. This is from a Kia forum on the subject:

The ECM computes ignition timing in response to the signals from several sensors. The timing is fixed during the start-up phase. However, when the engine has been started and the vehicle is driven away, the ECM computes the optimum timing based on the engine speed, load and temperature.The ignition timing is fixed BTDC 5 and DTC P1330 is set when connecting Ignition control terminal of Data Link Connector and ground. If disconnect Ignition control terminal of Data Link Connector and ground, the DTC is erased automatically.Make sure to check for short circuit to ground between Ignition control terminal of Data Link Connector and chassis ground when DTC is set.
