KIA F4E-lll
ERRONEOUS GEAR RATIO DTC’s
COMPLAINT: Kia vehicles, equipped with the F4E-lll transaxle, such as the Sephia, Rio or Spectra may
produce erroneous gear ratio codes (P0731, 32, 33 and/or 34), transmission range signal
malfunction (P0705) and/or converter clutch malfunction code (P0740) without observing
incorrect data or experiencing any malfunction.
CAUSE: Prior to 10/18/00, certain driving conditions would prompt the computer to produce these
codes. The TCM in vehicles built after 10/18/00 utilizes a revised diagnostic routine which
de-sensitized the setting of these codes.

CORRECTION: The TCM did not receive a part number change when this new TCM logic was implemented.
Check the production date of the vehicle. If October 18, 2000 or later is the production date of
the vehicle, the updated TCM should be in the vehicle. It is possible that the TCM may have
been previously exchanged with an earlier version. If there is any doubt, locate and remove
the TCM under the dash and to the left of the steering column. On the TCM is a white label
with the word Bosch written in the upper left corner (See Figure 1). To the right it says “Made
in Korea.” Underneath those words is a 6 digit number which provides the build date. The
year, then the month and then the day is displayed. The example in Figure 9 is May 30, 2001.
October 18, 2000 would appear as 001018. Any TCM built before this date will need to be
updated.

The Inhibitor Switch may also need to be replaced. It was updated November 22, 2001 and
will have a stamping on the side of the switch with the same dating sequence as on the TCM,
i.e.; 011122. If the Inhibitor Switch has an earlier date, replacement with a new switch is
recommended Figure 2 provides a continuity check chart for the Inhibitor Switch as well as
an electrical wire diagram in the event further testing is required.
