Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

My first thoughts would be a speed sensor fault, I would get a scan done to see what the set fault code is that is indicated by the check light, start here and report the code for more assistance,

The "check engine" light is back off, the speed odom is acting normal. Next day the speed odom acted up again I called KIA picked up a new speed sensor $37 bucks. Installed it speed odom working normal.
