SUBJECT: SORENTO (XM) REMOTE START HARNESS REPLACEMENT
This bulletin provides information relating to some 2011/2012 Sorento vehicles with Remote Start option. Some customers may indicate that the heater/blower motor is not functioning when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. Once the ignition key is inserted and turned to the "Run" position, the heater/blower motor starts working normally. This concern may be caused by a blown 15 amp HVAC1 fuse located within the remote start module. Please follow Remote Harness removal and replacement procedure outlined in this bulletin to correct this concern. (Replacement harness utilizes a load reduction design).
*NOTICE
This procedure should only be conducted if a customer has a specific issue with RES, i.e. that the HVAC fuse blows in the RES module, otherwise this procedure is not required.
