This condition occurs on vehicles with mileage over 12,000 miles and may be due to possible premature wear of the solenoid valve. To correct this concern, replace the 35R and 4&O/D solenoid valves with added “H” ventilation port, perform TCU relearn, and, if applicable, apply the improved logic to the Transmission system using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as described in this bulletin.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10200512-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10200512-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10200512","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"KIA","model":"K900","year_from":2015,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_kia_k900","2016_kia_k900"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
