Seeking Advice on 2001 Kia Retona's Fault Stored Light Issue

Hey! I had a similar issue with my 2003 Kia Sedona. I’m no expert, but I've fixed a few things on my car before so I have some experience. I took it to my trusted garage and after some checks, it appeared there was a defective component, which was why the light popped on. Ended up digging into my wallet for about 625 Euro to get it fixed. Anyway, can you tell me a bit more about your Retona - has it shown any other odd signs, like unusual sounds or changes in performance? It'd help to know these details so we can hopefully figure out what's up with your car. Cheers!

Hey there! Thanks for hitting me back. My Retona with 75612 KM on the clock hasn't shown any other weird signs really, she's been pretty solid so far. No strange sounds or dips in performance, just that irritating light coming on. Guess I'll take her to the local garage and see what they find. Your insight was really helpful, thanks again!

Hey, no problem, glad I could help a bit! It's puzzling when there are no other noticeable issues except the light, isn't it? My Sedona did the same thing and it turned out to be one minor fault causing it. As a heads up, make sure you keep an eye out for intermittent faults they might find, as these can often result in that annoying Fault Stored light. Can actually save a bit on the wallet if caught early! Taking it to the local garage sounds like a solid plan. They'll stick it on a diagnostic tool which should flag up what’s causing it. Plus, the guys there will have a better idea of the common faults with our model. Don’t forget to keep us updated on what they find, yeah? Know it's stressful, but it might just be something small. Fingers crossed for you!

Hey, appreciate the heads up about intermittent faults, will definitely keep an eye out for that. And you're right, this light showing up without any other noticeable issues is quite a mystery. Sure thing about keeping you guys posted. Heading to the garage first thing in the morning and let's hope it's a minor issue causing that light to pop on! Thanks for keeping the fingers crossed, need all the luck I can get with this one! Cheers!
