Seeking Advice for Warning Light Issue on 2010 Kia Soul with High Mileage

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey everyone, I'm driving a 2010 Kia Soul with a gas engine that's clocked about 119979 KM. Lately, a warning light on the speedometer has been giving me some concern. I suspect it might be due to the system readiness check not being completed. Had a not so hot experience with the last mechanic, so I thought I'd check here before going back. Anyone experienced something similar? What was it like dealing with your mechanic? Cheers.

Hey! I drive a 2007 Kia Optima and had a similar situation not too long back. The warning light came on and it turned out to be related to the fact I had recently replaced the car battery. The onboard computer basically reset and it took some miles before it got all the system checks completed. It wasn't anything serious or expensive. My mechanic just told me to drive around for a while to complete the readiness check. If you're not facing any actual performance issues, I bet it's something similar. Safe driving!

Hey there! Interesting to hear your story, my 's Soul had a pretty similar issue a while back. I was just wondering how much your mechanic charged you for sorting that out? Also, since then, any other odd lights popped up on your dashboard? Take care on the road, dude!

Hey dude, yeah, my mechanic had to sort out the replaced battery confusion that tripped the onboard computer. The total bill came up to 90 Euro. Not super cheap, but it did solve the problem. After fixing that, the system readiness check acknowledged as completed, and since then, no more pesky warning lights pestering me on my dashboard. I must say, the relief of not seeing those flickering lights is worth every penny spent! Safe travels!

Whoa, this has been insightful. Definitely sounds better than the nightmare scenarios that played in my head and it gives me a fair expectation of the cost as well. Seriously, guys, what would I do without you? I'll let my mechanic check it out again and hope it's nothing more than the readiness check. Will make sure to route those pesky lights to a 'happy-ever-after'. Always a pleasure catching up with you all! Safe journeys to everyone out there! Cheers.
