Inverter coolant low

[Jim Colwell]

Can I just add some coolant to the reservoir until it's between min -max ? having no problems with operating car at 145K miles, don't really want to take it to dealer?

Thread 'Refill Invert Coolant false warning solved with recall SA512'

May 18, 2023

I wanted to post this in case anyone was having the same issue. For the last year, after having the coolant flushed, we’ve had a persistent warning light that doesn’t go away and can’t be cleared. Apparently other hybrid and PHEV Kia’s have the issue as well.

We contacted Kia a dozen times with no help, but another user here posted about a new recall issued SA512 Inverter Coolant Debris Warning that addresses the issue. (Note despite calling them monthly Kia never contacted us about this, we found out via this forum and asked for it at the dealer directly)

Maybe, I'm just worrying, but the inverter coolant reservoir is really low, can I pit something in there or will it throw off the symbiosis of the dashboard warining and actual performance of the car??
