Kia Optima OBD-II support
Model years 2000 to 2026CombustionOnboarded
58,810 miles driven with Pelican by 69 drivers
The OBDb lists 358 parameters for the Kia Optima, read from 9 control modules. Real responses from Kia Optima cars confirm 70 of them. Drivers have tested model years 2012 to 2015, 2018 to 2020.
Support by model year
A solid mark means a real response confirmed the parameter. A light mark means the car's signalset reads it but no response has confirmed it yet.
Parameters
The parameters of the Kia Optima, by group. These are the commands that Kia added, and the SAE J1979 standard parameters that real cars confirm. Open a group to see each parameter, how Pelican decodes it, and the model years that real cars confirm.
