Where is the reversing radar control box of Kia K2 located?
2 Answers
The reversing radar control box of Kia K2 is located at the rear of the vehicle. The radar main unit is on the radar head on the trunk lid, at the left rear of the trunk, on the side with the lights, adhered to the fender metal above the wheel. The one with five wires attached is the control box, and you can find it by feeling around. The full name of the reversing radar is 'reversing anti-collision radar,' also known as 'parking assist device,' mainly composed of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display (or buzzer). When the gear lever is shifted into reverse, the reversing radar automatically starts working. When the radar detects that the distance to an obstacle behind is too close, the buzzer or display device of the reversing radar will issue a warning to remind the driver to pay attention to the distance behind. The general troubleshooting methods for when the reversing radar does not sound are as follows: 1. Check whether the reversing radar wiring at the rear bumper is properly connected; 2. See if the reversing light turns on when in reverse gear, if not, check the reversing light switch; 3. Remove the right side lining of the trunk and test the continuity of the wires to the radar; 4. Open the fuse box and use a multimeter to check the continuity of the fuses related to the reversing radar; 5. If the reversing radar module or buzzer is damaged, it needs to be replaced.
The reverse radar control box of the Kia K2 is usually hidden inside the trunk, towards the rear. It's typically located under the left or right trunk trim panel, near the rear bumper. After opening the trunk lid, you can often find it behind a small partition or on the side of the spare tire well, where it connects to the radar sensors. If you're looking for it yourself, be careful—bring a flashlight and a plastic pry tool, gently release the trim panel clips, and avoid pulling too hard to prevent damaging the wiring. For older vehicles, the location might have changed; some model years may have it moved to a corner at the bottom of the trunk. It's advisable to check the owner's manual first for confirmation or simply visit a professional repair shop and let a technician handle it to avoid messing up the reverse safety feature.
