kia_refresh_status
Read-onlyIdempotent
Wake the telematics unit to request an updated vehicle status reading, then retrieve the refreshed data using the vehicle status tool.
Instructions
Ask the car for a fresh reading (rems/rvs, requestType 0). This WAKES THE TELEMATICS UNIT, so it is much slower than kia_vehicle_status and draws a little power — prefer the cached read unless staleness matters. Kia only acknowledges the request; it does not return the new data and gives no completion signal, so read kia_vehicle_status afterwards to see the refreshed values.
