why does my Genesis G70 smell like burning rubber?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials: gloves, safety glasses, flashlight, OBD-II scanner, and a torque wrench.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.

2. Inspect and Replace Worn Belts

• Sub-steps:
  1. Open the hood and locate the serpentine belt.
  2. Check for signs of cracking, fraying, or wear on the belt.
  3. If the belt is damaged, loosen the tensioner to remove the old belt.
  4. Install a new serpentine belt, ensuring it is properly routed according to the belt routing diagram.
  5. Tighten the tensioner to the manufacturer’s specification.

3. Examine and Fix Tire Issues

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect each tire for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or foreign objects.
  2. If damage is found, replace the affected tire with a new one.
  3. Check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI.

4. Address Brake System Overheating

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear.
  2. If brake pads are worn down, replace them with new pads.
  3. Check the brake fluid level; if low, top it up or bleed the brakes if air is present.
  4. Inspect calipers for sticking or binding and replace if necessary.

5. Investigate Electrical Components

• Sub-steps:
  1. Use an OBD-II scanner to pull any diagnostic trouble codes.
  2. Address any codes related to electrical faults (e.g., shorts or overheating).
  3. Inspect wiring harnesses for damage or exposure that could cause overheating.
