Professional Workshop Service Manual & Technical Specifications
Kia Carnival LX / EX (2002–2005) — Service Manual Archive (Doc 30113)
This manual package is scoped specifically to Kia Carnival LX and EX variants across 2002–2005 and is structured to surface fit-critical details quickly: identification coverage, system-by-system sectioning, wiring diagrams, and dedicated domains for engine electrical/control and transaxle configurations. If you’re deciding whether the archive matches your trim family, the LX/EX gate + production years + transmission split are the key alignment points.
Applicability Snapshot
The listing scope is limited to Carnival LX and Carnival EX, with production/model years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. Section naming is consistent with workshop reference sets: each subsystem is isolated into a numbered group so lookup stays tight and configuration overlap stays controlled.
What’s Covered (High-Level Section Domains)
You get discrete technical blocks for engine mechanical and engine electrical, emission control, fuel system, cooling, lubrication, automatic transaxle, manual transaxle + clutch, driveshaft/axle, suspension, steering, brakes + hydraulics, body/accessories, HVAC, and an electrical group containing wiring diagrams and lighting/audio references.
Archive Signals (Trim/Year + Section Architecture)
- Variant gate: Carnival LX and Carnival EX
- Year gate: 2002–2005 model years
- Identification section present as a dedicated early chapter

Configuration Gates & Boundaries
The manual’s structure separates “shared platform” material (general information, maintenance framework, body and accessories) from configuration-dependent blocks (automatic vs manual transaxle, clutch system, wiring diagrams). That layout supports quick confirmation that your Carnival sits inside the intended trim set and year window before you spend time in deeper section groups.
Section Map for Fast Navigation
Numbered groups run from general information and maintenance through engine mechanical/electrical/control, emissions and fuel delivery, thermal systems (cooling/lubrication), driveline/transaxles, then chassis and cabin systems (suspension, steering, brakes, body, HVAC), finishing with electrical architecture and wiring-diagram coverage. This makes the archive useful as a reference index when you want system-level documentation density rather than a blended narrative.
