Kia KDS 2.0: Workarounds for S/W Management Failures

Case 1. Test Stage or Function Failure in S/W Management

If a failure occurs during the Test stage or while performing a function, follow these steps:

• Workaround A. Connect to Wi-Fi, log out, and then log back in.
• Workaround B. Retry after selecting a different Model Year or powertrain.
• Workaround C. Disconnect the 12 V battery, wait 10 minutes, reconnect it, and then retry the function.

If these workarounds do not resolve the issue, contact your distributor for further support.

Case 2. S/W Management Function Failure

If a failure message appears during the S/W Management test, or if the function cannot be performed after installing replacement parts—primarily ECUs and related components—, check the following possible causes and solutions:

1️⃣ Common Reasons for S/W Management Failure

• Security Authentication: Connect to Wi-Fi, log out, and then log back in.
• Communication Open: Check the app permissions and allow all permissions for GITMCommManagerService and GITN_AUX.

• Vehicle Condition: Attempt the function separately with the vehicle in IG On, ACC, and EV Ready states.

2️⃣ Before You Proceed with S/W Management

An S/W Management function may also fail if incorrect vehicle information is selected, such as the Model Year or powertrain. Verify that the selected vehicle information matches the actual vehicle specifications.

If the issue persists, generate a diagnostic log using the diagnostic app and contact your NSC (Distributor).
