Service bulletins for the 2022 Kia EV6

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

PS7482023-07-01. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. PITSTOP: SHARING KIA CONNECT CREDENTIALS WITH THIRD-PARTY APPS AND POTENTIAL IMPACT TO 12V BATTERY IN EVS - Kia is aware of reports of unexpected drainage of the 12-volt battery in some Kia electric vehicles (EVs). While Kia’s investigation is ongoing, a possible cause of the issue may be third-party applications used by the customer that are causing excessive Kia Connect connections to the customer’s EV.
TSB_ELE290_R12023-05-26. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: BMS DTC JUDGEMENT LOGIC IMPROVEMENT (P1AA600) - This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides information to update the software logic of the Battery Management System (BMS) on some 2022-2023MY EV6 (CV) vehicles produced from November 17, 2021 through February 3, 2023 which have a stored DTC P1AA600. The BMS ECU monitors voltage deviation; if over-voltage deviation between battery cells, poor insulation, abnormal cell voltage changes after charging, abnormal current change during charging, over-voltage, low voltage battery temperature deviation or average cell deviation during driving is detected, the BMU sets DTC P1AA600. This BMS DTC logic improvement will expand DTC P1AA600 into multiple DTCs to aid in proper diagnosis, which reduces the required time and steps outlined in the 'DTC Inspection' on KGIS to determine the fault using 'freeze frame' data.
TSB_ELE2922023-04-28. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: SERVICE ACTION: VCU SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR i-PEDAL OPERATION (SA533) - This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software logic of the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) system on certain 2022MY EV6 (CV) vehicles produced from November 17, 2021 through February 21, 2023 in order to improve the 'i-Pedal' operation logic. The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes to stop the vehicle. Use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3 during decelerating or braking. Pull the left side paddle switch once again when the regenerative braking level is set to Level 3. The i-Pedal indicator symbol will be illuminated on the instrument cluster. The 'i-Pedal' driving feature controls the vehicle speed by the accelerator pedal, both acceleration and deceleration. In addition, some of the affected vehicles require the application of a leaflet to the owner's manual regarding operation of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) feature.
TSB_ELE2912023-04-28. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: BMS UPGRADE FOR BATTERY CONDITIONING MODE - This bulletin provides the procedure to install the Battery Conditioning Mode function on some 2022MY EV6 (CV) vehicles produced from November 17, 2021 through October 21, 2022 by updating the software logic of the Battery Management System (BMS). This procedure should only be performed if specifically requested by the customer and should be clearly documented on the RO that it is being performed "per customer request." The battery conditioning mode will optimize the Direct Current (DC) charging performance of the electric vehicle (EV) battery in low outdoor temperatures, by allowing the EV battery to preheat prior to arriving at a DC charger site. The software requires that the owner selects a DC charger site as a point of interest (POI) via the vehicle's navigation system to enable the battery conditioning heating when EV battery temperature is below 68°F. Battery heating impact on DC charging may vary depending on initial EV battery temperature and the estimated time to arrive at the POI. It may be possible to enable battery conditioning mode for a longer time prior to departure, as it can help to achieve the longer battery heating time needed in very low temperatures. Enabling the battery conditioning mode will use battery power and temporarily reduce the driving range until the vehicle is charged.
