Vehicle
Kia Telluride
The large three-row SUV for North America, and it is the same vehicle as the Hyundai Palisade — same platform, same 3.8 Lambda V6, same eight-speed automatic — so Palisade information covers it throughout, which is the most useful thing to know since far more has been written about one than the other. The V6 is port and direct injected together, which spares it the intake-valve carbon that afflicts direct-injection-only engines and moves the recurring faults elsewhere: the eight-speed's valve body and its shift-solenoid codes, and on four-wheel-drive cars the coupling that feeds the rear axle, which sets driveline codes without any noise. The 2023 facelift changes the front-end radar and camera calibration procedure.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
