Thanks for watching
Sir my mom has a 2013 kia serento it,s all wheel drive.with push button to 4 wheel drive. The back wheels has no power to them.the drive shaft coming from the transfer case turns.but the back part of the shaft doe,s not move.when she got the car it had a clunking noise in the coupler.would you no what it could be. No code,s are on
Is there any trick to the second (lower) connector? I couldn't see any latches, and didn't want to try and pull straight too hard.
How do you fill the actuator oil pump?
Hi. Thanks for your vid... is there a gasket between the coupler and the diff? Also if I remove the coupler will any oil come out? Thanks.
the seal is internal of the coupler and is mounted to the Diff portion. there should be no oil in between the coupler and diff, that would indicate a leak.
thanks for watching
Thank you for the video.
YOU ARE WELCOME
Anyway to test these before removing them to make sure that’s the problem? Plus is there anyway to make sure that the differential isn’t bad also? Since my wife heard a thump and lost awd there’s been no road noise at all from the back. Idk if that’s good or bad. My first rodeo with an awd.
More than likely you had a coupling issue.
What about lubricating oil?
Video saved my ass thanks guys
you are welcome.
Hi Jeremy. You made short work of that! How does the coupler function? Is it 4WD proper (all or nothing) or is it an AWD (by degree) system on this vehicle. The coupler on my AWD SX4 is duty cycle controlled from the 4WD module (yes they mix terms) depending on F & R differential wheel speeds forwarded by the ABS module via the CAN bus. But the manual really contains no details (black box) with respect to how the coupling is carried out within the coupler itself. Have had very little luck finding any text book description of operation on this...Sorry for the dragged out question. Cheers Pal
Hi Ian, Sorry for the late reply.
This is actually a pretty simple replacement, as long as there are not to many seized bolts.
Now to answer your Question.
The 4WD system Communicates through CAN, it receives various inputs from the ABS/ECU which include TPS/Input Torque/ RPM/Wheel speed.
Now once the inputs are received it regulates the coupling motor through pwm which inturn controls the internal clutch packs. The power/ground for the motor is supplied directly from the 4WD module.
To date, I have not had any electrical issues with a 4wd coupling, all have been mechanical.
Stay safe and enjoy the nice weather.
Great video.
I am looking at the same part swap on a Hyundai ix35 2010 (which is almost identical to the vehicle you are working on). I spoke to the dealership and they said a second hand unit was not advisable to fit as the seal can leak. I am looking at your video wondering what they are on about...any ideas? Thanks a bunch!
Hey tim.. So there is a seal that can leak its not limited to a used part..
Here is another video that i made.. Hope you enjoy..

@@JLsAutoSolution Thank you, sir - you are a weapon!
Thanks for the informative video, I believe I'm experiencing the same symptoms with my 2013 Sportage, but Hyundai/Kia mentions a type of re-learning with their diagnostic tools, did you need to do this or find it was necessary? Any customer come-backs with the performed work? Thanks
there is no relearning of the coupling on the rear diff. there is no fork or pivots.. here is a video of the rear coupling i made.. ruclips.net/video/qDYfyDf1F9I-/видео.html it's basically a a hydraulic clutch pack..
thanks for watching
@@JLsAutoSolution Would the same be true for the 2013 Sportage EX coupler? Coupler looks exactly the same. If no learning is required this could be done myself.
Hello, which oil should be put for Sorento power take-off gearbox (off-road gearbox)?
Is this a Haldex system?
Great video! I see doorman makes just the pump(the black piece hanging off the back). Do you think that's really the only thing that goes bad? Usually if doorman sells an item it means allot of them go out? Item number 600-221.
Great, thanks for sharing.
@@JLsAutoSolution fyi I did the job and changed just the pump this weekend... No luck sending it back to Amazon and getting the whole unit off eBay. Don't know if it's just my case but just so people know
do you press down on the plug ins to release them and on the 19mm rear end nuts do ya need a swivel ext and do ya just take the front nuts off to tilt the diff thanks i get to do this with hand tools so im sure ill create new words
yes the plugs need to be pressed in order to release the locking pin. and just remove the 2x 19mm like I did in the video. if you do not have a swivel you can use a a 19mm ratchet key.
@@JLsAutoSolution ok thanks i bought the awd coupler new off ebay for 450 better then 1100 from kia for same oem part i do have another question i jacked the car up put it in drive n the drive shaft doent rotae so i learned the hard way that it was the transfer case not the awd coupler cause the drive shaft should spin while in driveso i bought one of those new for same price have ya ever replaced the transfercase on the kia thanks
@@mikestowe6136 hi mike.. The drive shaft should only spin while being driven.. While stationary it is not suppose to spin..
I have repaired... But not replaced.. They do fail but it is very rare... All 4 wheels shoyld be lifted off the ground.. .
@@JLsAutoSolution all 4 wheels were off the ground i put it in drive then looked under the car the rive shaft was not turning my thought is it should turn when the front wheels are turning then when you ingage the awd that should ingage the clutch pack in the rear . i guess im trying to say with the car on jack stands all wheels off the ground i started the car n put it in drive to see if the drive shaft turned which it should but doesnt
What are the torque specs for the bolts going back in? Thanks!
56.9 ~ 64.7 N.m (5.8 ~ 6.6 kgf.m, 42.0 ~ 47.7 lb-ft)--coupling mounting bolts(4x)
9.0~68.6N.m (5.0~7.0kgf.m, 36.2~50.6lb-ft)--propellar shaft mounting bolts(3x)
thanks for watching
I did this and now the AW drive light is on it wasn’t before. Any suggestions?
please tell me what did to erase the light from the dashboard i have light also after driving for a while kia sorento 2023 4wd
I had no dash error when I first noticed my back wheels were not spinning, sent it to a mechanic, he replaced the coupler , then the next day an error came on the dash and now backwheela are dead again? Whats going on? I tried a different mechanic (directly KIa) and they said they had to replace the coupler again, kia sorento 2014 v6
bad diagnosis- or someone caused some damage while replacing the component. ask for your old part back.
Are these serviceable? Can the fluid be changed and what type of fluid does it use?
typically no.. there is oil available for the coupling. but its a life time oil(no service required) If you are having issue with the coupling replacement is my best suggestion(unless there is a dtc for the awd circuit) diagnose that first.
thanks for watcing
@@JLsAutoSolution Thanks, I'm not having any trouble with my 2015 Santa Fe with 75,000 miles but I had a 2011 Sorento and the seal went bad in the coupler and it lost all the fluid around 120,000 and I was hoping to somehow service it.
Anyone know if this needs to be coded after replacement
only needs a reset no. coding required
Does the new coupler need to be programmed to the 4WD ECU?
no. just relearn, there is a special function.
@@JLsAutoSolution Thanks. So for relearn, without a capable scanner to do so, would ECU reset work? Even at just the AWD ECU?
hello my friend. please how much price this coupling New. thanks
Cheapest I found on ebay is about $607 for an actual Hyundai part. You can find cheaper ones made in China but you know how that goes.
Pretty sure I have this. Sounded like driving with locked hubs. But now all noise and skipping is gone, and no AWD at all, crazy wheel spin in the rain ha.
Can this problem be confirmed with a code reader?? I have no lights on the dash
there might be a code set, you would have to check. a basic code reader will not help in this situation though.
@@JLsAutoSolution I just tried with my bluedriver and it didn't find any codes. Not sure if that one is good enough, but the best I got
Does anyone know how to tell if this coupler is bad. My AWD is not working at all. I'm not sure if it's my transfer case or coupler. I put the car in drive up in the air and noticed the drive shaft did not spin.
if the drive shaft is not spinning while the vehicle is in drive, I would focus on the transmission/transfer case assemblies.. begin with the transfer case as it is easier to access.
thanks for watching
@@JLsAutoSolution The AWD isn't working in my 2014 Kia Sorento. I was leaning toward the coupler but starting to think it may not be. If I jack the car up and the drive shaft doesn't spin when in drive is that an indicator that the coupler probably isn't the issue? My issue, I believe, started after experiencing a loud pop when touching the gas when in reverse after driving for a distance. I no longer have the pop and a couple weeks later is when I noticed the AWD isn't working.
Thanks!
@@MIKEYPAUL05 hey Wade. I would start by verify if the driveshaft rotates first. If it does not i would check at the PTU(POWER TRANSFER UNIT) ALSO called a front diff on this vehicle. Rhis part is bolted on the transmission.
Thanks for watching
is there a gasket inbetween
No there is no gasket inbetween. Watch this video I posted last week.. ruclips.net/video/qDYfyDf1F9I/видео.html
hi my friend,its just like plug and play?
Pretty much.. Just be careful with the connections.
JL's Auto Solution symptoms are rear banging sound while turning/acceleration right?
What are the issues for this to have it replaced?
typically skipping felt while turing(in the rear)
@@JLsAutoSolution ah man, that's what's going on🤦🏻♂️.
Thxs for reply and video👍
how long did it take to do
This job normally takes 30-40 minutes when there is no seized bolts,.. Hope this helps.
Thanks for watching
@@JLsAutoSolution thanks dealer told 2 hrs
Ya ever change the transmission in a 2014 kia sorento I changed that coupler n was gonna change the transfer case turns out it the female splines in the trans that strip out not transfer case splines the part only 60 bucks but it cost more to tear it apart n fix then just buying a new trans from Kia for 1000 bucks
Yes I have but not for that reason.. mainly for sift shock while driving..
I have not yet the luxury of replacing the splines for the ptu(transferase) I have rebuilt the transfer case due to leaking seals but beyond no other repairs.. I believe it's due to me being at a dealership. I don't really see any vehicles past 100,000 km. except for when the independent garages cannot fix an issue..
but depending on the model 4cyl or 6cyl there are a few differences when removing the transmission, on a 4cyl I can do it with the subframe in spot, but on a 6cyl the subframe needs to be removed..
thanks for watching,
@@JLsAutoSolution ya to me ya just well spend a 1000 bucks for a brand new transmission before o as ying 60 bucks for the part n having someone tear the transmission out then paying again to tear it apart alot cheaper to just but a new trans from Kia for a grand which I get the prevelige of doing if I want awd it drives fine in front wheel drive just sucks it's easier n cheaper ti buy a new transmission because of a 60 dollar part failure these are know for i can tell ya if it skips hard it's not the transfer case or rear coupler its the female splines in the transmission from the male splines from tranfer case
FYI you do not have to remove 19mm bolts, also some couplers are sold with no fluid !!! You must fill with .7L of transmission fluid.
There may be information out there that iam not aware of on the fluid type and capacity. alldata gets its information directly from the manufacture and there is no fluid type for the coupling and a not in the servicing of the coupling assembly. the note is as follows:(It is not recommended to add or replace the coupling oil as the coupling oil specification and fill ratio greatly affect the performance and durability of the coupling assembly.)
the 19mm bolts is something that i do on these models.
thanks for watching.
