Proximity Door Unlock Not Working

[Calhoun353]

Just purchased a 2023 SX. Driver side door doesn’t unlock anymore when I grab the handle.

Worked for a few days. Passenger side works correctly and with the Digital Key.

Anyone else have this happen? Bad part?

I have the exact same thing happening with my 2023 SX. Passenger side works when in proximity but driver side does not or when I use sensor on the handle. Worked up until today. Have had the car for 45 days.

Dealership says they are going to have to take the door apart to fix it. 3 hour job. Will have an update for you next Wednesday.

After a 3 hour wait at the dealership, they now believe it is an electrical issue then need to track down and not a door handle issue.

They now need to hold it an additional 2 days.

Not an Electrical issue. Loose pin.

Shop report: “Found that poor tension at connector D06 at the door handle was poor causing poor contact and bad signals to the IBAU.”

“Pin tension corrected and tested with no faults.

I just bought a brand new Telluride SXP 3 days ago (2/23/3023) and the problem started as soon as I got home with it. Very frustrating!!

I hope this isn’t a sign of future electrical issues!!

Hopefully just the Pin Connector. Mine has worked correctly since.

Same here. Have only had the car for a few months.

Have same issue. Dealer disconnected battery and it started working at dealership. Was not working again when we got home. They said last problem they found required engineers from Korea to come over to the US for 2 weeks and didn't find it. Sounds like BS.
For those that had pin connection fixed, is it still working months later?

Same thing when my battery went dead and had to recharge it suddenly started working again. My battery went dead because I left the sun visor mirror open for 3 days and it drained my battery. Whole separate issue. But it did fix my proximity sensor issue.

I was experiencing the exact same problem as you all mentioned above! Think I stumbled upon the culprit! If you have an employee key card fob or parking/apartment fob that you carry on you daily try removing it and testing the car key again. My car was picking up the signal from my work fob in my wallet and missing the KIA key signal. All of a sudden it start working again after I was laid off and turned my work fob back in. Always assumed it was the car messing up but really it was just the dead end job killing my soul and my signal.
