Today, I was driving my 2011 Forte 5 SX when it suddenly "clunked/boomed" at about 30 mph and I went on and I thought I had possibly run over something or hit a very big pothole. I turned around and double checked and that was not the case. Then I noticed that it didn't seem to shift properly. In fact, it wouldn't move out of fourth gear even though I moved the shift paddles. Drove it about one more mile and stopped in to do some business and when I drove away it stated in 4th gear. Drove it a little while longer and it seemed to "fix itself." However, 25 miles up the road the TPMS light came on. It was first a solid symbol. I pulled in to check the tires and they were fully inflated so I drove on (I was on the way to the dealer). Then it started blinking, again turning solid and then went out in about 45 seconds.
When I arrived at the dealership I told them what happened and they hooked it up to their diagnostic equipment and out came the following:
"P0748 Pressure Control Solenoid Value, C1312 Sensor 1 Radio frequency test drove found trans working, cleared codes, OK now."
This was a warranty matter as I only have 5,300 miles on the clock and I have never abused it. The transmission is the six speed automatic with 2.4 engine. It has always shifted perfectly previously and in fact is now again shifting perfectly.
I was told to bring it back if it repeated the problem. It didn't repeat any of the problems related after I left the dealership.
Q: What do these codes really mean and what on earth would cause the TPMS light to suddenly appear, start blinking, turn solid again and then go out on its own? There must be some kind of connection, I would think.
Who is the Kia tech/expert here who can shed some light on this weird problem.
These are the only problems I have experienced with the car that I purchased last November.
