KIA Niro: Electric Water Pump (EWP) Repair procedures
Kia Niro - First generation - (DE) (2017-2022) - Service and Repair Manual / Service Highlight / Hybrid Motor Cooling System / Electric Water Pump (EWP) Repair procedures
Description
The Hybrid Power Control Unit (HPCU) uses various semiconductors that are supplied with high voltage, hence generating more heat than engine combustion devices. Overheating can decrease the efficiency of control devices, restrict proper operation and melt semiconductors in excessive heat, causing system failure. To prevent this, the hybrid system is equipped with a separate cooling system.

Refilling And Bleeding
Warning
Never remove the cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could
be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping
from the reservoir.
Warning
When pouring inverter coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid to
prevent spilling c

Removal
Warning
In case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel
pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there
may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any
repair work right after engine
stops.
DC
charge
You can charge at high speeds at public
charging stations. Refer to the respective
company's manual that is provided
for each DC charger type.
Battery performance and durability can
