Turn out that a lot of people make the same mistake. Basically if the door don't work after new battery install, flip the battery and try again. Dealer said that's like 98% of key fob issues. Locksmith says he does the start program not door program. I can't believe they are different but I'll post an update. The Kia Carnival is a minivan manufactured by Kia Motors and marketed globally under various nameplates — prominently as the Kia Sedona.Some model years of the Kia Sedona have keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable, which means a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key.

Installed new battery. Car will not start using push button on dash, but will start by inserting key fob in slot in console and pushing button on dash. Put new battery in key fob.

The SMARTRA stands for SMARt TRansponder Antenna. The SMARTRA unit contains an integrated inductive antenna and electronics around the ignition lock assembly.

The SMARTRA does not carry out the check of validity of transponder or the calculation of encryption algorithm. This device is only an advanced interface, which converts the RF data flow (radio frequency of 125 kHz) of transponder into serial communication to ECM and vice versa. The SMARTRA communicates to a engine control module via a dedicated communications line (called W-Line, or Immo-Line). During communication of ECM and SMARTRA the K line of ECM cannot be used for communication. The ECM controls the communication either to SMARTRA or diagnostic equipment on K line by switching of a multiplexer and specific communication procedures. The multiplexer is a part of ECM hardware.
The immobilizer system consists of the ECM, the SMARTRA, the lamp and ignition keys with built-in transponder. The ECM carries out the check of ignition key by special encryption algorithm, which runs in the transponder and in the ECM in parallel. Only if the results are equal the engine can be started. The data of all transponder, which are valid for the vehicle, are stored in the ECM.
During the key teaching procedure the transponder will be programmed with vehicle specific data. The vehicle specific data are written into the transponder memory.

PIN codes

PIN code stands for of Product Identification Number code. The PIN code is a unique code for each vehicle and it is programmed into ECM at production line.

PIN code is needed when the teaching new ECM and new keys, e.g.

When a new key is added
When replacing with new ECM or used ECM (neutralized ECM)
When a key is lost and needs to be deleted

If you enter incorrect pin 3 times the immobilizer (SMARTRA or Smart key) will lock In order to unlock:

For mechanical keys leave key on for 1 hour.
For smart key (proximity) leave car alone with good battery charge for 1 hour.

Vehicle PIN code can be obtained through www.PATSCode.com service or through Hyundai dealer.

Key coding procedure is available in control unit IMMO – Immobilizer from “ECU Programming/Coding” menu.

Teaching

Engine must be turned off. Key is turned to ON position.

You will be prompted to enter a 6-digit PIN code. (eg 123456, see page 2 - PIN codes)

How To Program A 2011 Kia Sorento Key Fob Keyless

Now you have the key in ignition in the ON position. This key is coded after clicking on 'Yes' button.

You will be prompted whether you want to code another key. If you click 'yes', HiCOM will ask you to insert the next key. Up to 4 keys can be coded.(some control units allow units up to 8 keys). If you click on 'No', the coding process is terminated and no more keys are added.

After successful completion of the operation, switch off the ignition for 10 seconds.

Some vehicles have contact-less (RFID) smart-key instead of mechanical key. On these vehicles coding via SMARTRA operation will fail, it is necessary to use special dedicated smart-key control unit for this purpose. The feature can be found in Smart Key Code Saving control unit (PIC, SMKCODE).
