P0116 is-- engine coolant tempurature ckt/range performance----- p0 128 is--coolant temp below thermostat regulating temperature. to fix these 2 codes are similar, change coolant tempurature sensor and thermotat all should be ok. make sure coolant in radiater is full. hope this helps you.

A code P0128 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

  • Low engine coolant level
  • Leaking or stuck open thermostat
  • Faulty cooling fan (running too much)
  • Faulty coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
  • Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

Kia spectra 2008..the light that comes on when your door opens nd closes is out what and where is the fuse,
Hi. It's called a courtesy light and the location of the fuse will depend upon your vehicle make and model.

Have you checked the bulb?

Edit: It seems Kia call it a "room light" - It's likely to be a bulb problem still though:

2003 kia spectra check engine code p0604
I have bad news for you
p0604 is a transmission control module

check the connection at the transmission control module if there are no connection issues than you will need to replace the transmission controll module "tcm" there is no other test for that code.

good luck
