2025 Carnival Hybrid P0C7300: MCU logic update, not assumed pump failure. See the manufacturer document, vehicle conditions, exclusions and questions for a qualified shop before assuming a repair.
This is a research summary of a manufacturer communication, not a diagnosis for your car, a DIY repair procedure or confirmation of warranty or recall eligibility. No qualified technician has approved a repair for your individual vehicle here.
This historical communication is conditional. The current revision, VIN/build eligibility, measured diagnosis and any warranty or recall decision are not established here. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified shop to check the complete current document.

What prompted this manufacturer document
- Intermittent MIL with P0C7300
- SA617 identifies an ITM-related diagnostic logic issue and prescribes MCU software improvement for the eligible production cohort.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.
- Kia Carnival Hybrid · 2025 · HEV; 2025-03-19
Codes recorded in this document
A root listed only as an appearance has no separately verified meaning here. Preserve every suffix and module name; a shared root does not transfer a repair branch to another vehicle.
| Root | Raw form | Meaning in this source, if established |
|---|---|---|
| P0C73 | P0C7300 | Motor-electronics coolant pump A control-performance indication |
What an owner can record safely
- Build date and hybrid identification
- Whether an official update was completed
- Companion symptoms or warnings
Editorial safety boundary for this system
No READY, jerky or reduced propulsion, overheating or persistent hybrid warning requires prompt professional assistance.
- Use current model-specific service information, calibrated equipment and a qualified technician for the selected diagnostic branch.
- Do not treat a cooling-pump code as permission to work around high-voltage components.
This is a conservative editorial policy, not a manufacturer safe-to-drive decision for a specific vehicle.
What the source does not prove
- Do not import the 2019 Niro pump-replacement recommendation into this Carnival software case.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Which current manufacturer procedure, VIN/RPO/build gate and test result determine the diagnostic branch?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
