information to inspect the Integrated Charging Control Unit ("ICCU") in certain 2022-2023MY EV6 (CV) vehicles manufactured from November 17, 2021 through May 30, 2023. Depending on the results of the inspection, dealers are to either install an improved ICCU software logic or replace the ICCU and ICCU Fuse. The ICCU in the subject vehicle may get damaged due to an over-current condition in the high-voltage system. This condition may cause the illumination of the "Service Warning Light," "Check electric vehicle system", and/or "Stop vehicle and check power supply" warning messages, along with audible beeps, instructing the driver to stop the vehicle at a safe location.

of reports of unexpected drainage of the 12-volt battery in some Kia electric vehicles (EVs). While Kias 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 customers EV.

Contrary to gloss paint, matte painted surfaces have a unique finish with low gloss due to diffused light reflection. This requires different care (hand wash with special cleaners), to maintain and preserve the matte appearance. Warranty does not cover the vehicles matte appearance. Issues with matte paint at PDI should be reviewed with DPSMs prior to any repairs.

software logic of the Vehicle Charging Management System (VCMS) system on some 2023MY EV6 GT (CV GT) vehicles produced from June 21, 2022 through March 28, 2023, which might experience inoperable High Voltage Battery (HVB) charging issues due to excessive high temperatures at the combo charger inlet module assembly.

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.

Parking Distance Warning (PDW) alerts and repairs involving ultrasonic sensors. The PDW system alerts the driver while parking, by calculating distance based on the difference in signal transmission and reception times between the vehicle (ultrasonic sensor) and an object. The membrane film of the ultrasonic sensor is used for object detention and can be damaged by stone chips or foreign substances while driving. Damage to the cover of the ultrasonic sensor can also lead to damage to the internal circuit. As a result of this external damage, the PDW system may not receive the proper signal from the ultrasonic sensor. In some cases, the system may cause a false alarm, no alert, or phantom warnings by a Warning Lamp to be displayed on the cluster. The ultrasonic sensor membrane film should be always inspected for external damage and if any part replacement should be treated as a general repair, not as a warranty claim repair for this concern. (Please note that this Pitstop only applies to models/trims that are equipped with the ultrasonic sensors.)

the Neutral (N) position on 2022MY~ EV6 (CV) vehicles when using an automated car wash. When the vehicle is in 'READY' mode, safety systems are active and can unexpectedly apply either the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and/or shift into Park (P) when events such as opening the doors, unlatching seatbelts and/or vehicle rollback is detected. This can cause issues when using an automated car wash, particularly those where the vehicle is sent through without a driver.
