Some 2006-07 Kia Sedona minivans built before March 8, 2006, may turn on the ABS/ESC warning lamp and log trouble codes such as C2402 or U0001 in the ABS module.
In some cases, you may find that your scan tool can't communicate with the module at all.
Kia attributes all these troubles to poor electrical integrity at ground G19 and/or G20.
Removing the ground lug (both grounds culminate at a single lug) and cleaning the lug, its mating surface and self-tapping retaining screw should eliminate the condition in short order.
For your information, you'll find the ground lug just behind the ABS computer, at the left side inner chassis panel.
