How This Sensor Works

The PPS245 parking aid sensor monitors the area around the vehicle and sends signals to the park assist system when an object is detected. On a Kia Sportage, this type of sensor is used to support low-speed maneuvering by helping the system identify obstacles near the bumper.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Park assist warning messages caused by a failed sensor
• Inaccurate or inconsistent obstacle detection near the bumper
• No response from the parking aid system at the front or rear inner position
• Sensor-related fault codes tied to the park assist circuit
• Reduced parking assistance performance after impact or moisture exposure

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting position before installation. This sensor is listed for 2016 Kia Sportage rear inner, 2017-2018 Kia Sportage front, and 2019 Kia Sportage rear inner applications, so position matching is important for proper operation. Confirm the vehicles park assist system configuration and inspect the harness and bumper opening for damage before replacing the sensor.
