why is my Genesis G70's dashboard warning lights blinking

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, fuse puller, basic hand tools
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off before starting any work.

2. Scan and Diagnose

• Use the OBD-II scanner to check for error codes.
  • Record any codes found for analysis.
  • Clear the codes and see if they return after a short drive.

3. Battery and Electrical Inspection

• Tools Required: Multimeter
• Check battery voltage with a multimeter. It should be around 12.6 volts when fully charged.
• Inspect battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are tightly secured.
• If the voltage is low, recharge or replace the battery as needed.

4. Fuse Inspection

• Locate the fuse box (refer to the owner’s manual for location).
• Use a fuse puller to check each fuse for continuity. Replace any blown fuses with the same amperage rating.

5. Alternator Test

• Tools Required: Multimeter
• With the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery terminals. It should read between 13.7 to 14.7 volts.
• If the reading is low, the alternator may need to be repaired or replaced.

6. Wiring Check

• Visually inspect the wiring harness for damaged insulation or corroded connections.
• Repair any damaged wires and ensure all connectors are secure.
