Description of the problem | The hydraulic control unit (hecu) assembly controls the anti-lock braking system(abs) electronic stability control system (esc) and traction control system (tcs) in your vecicle. Brake fluid may leak intrnally inside the hecu,which,overtime,can result in an eletrical short. An electrical short in the hecu increases the risk of an engine compartment fire. Kia says they inspected the unit indicated"no electrical draw at this time". I would prefer the unit be replaced with a new one. |
