If the alarm in your 2012 Kia Sorento is malfunctioning, the first step is to reset it. The reset process is straightforward, but it may take a few minutes. Begin by holding down the panic button on the key fob for five seconds, followed by pressing the lock button twice. Then, unlock the driver's side door and turn the vehicle to the on position without starting the engine. Wait for the flashing light on the dashboard to stop before starting the engine. If you continue to experience alarm issues, I recommend having Kia inspect it to rule out any potential issues with the body control module.
