Is it OK to change drive modes (Normal, Sport, Eco) while the car is moving?

try it this way:

complete stop. use paddle down, should show "1" then put into snow mode and drive and see if it upshifts.

complete stop. use paddle down, should show "1" up shift to "2" then put into snow mode and see if it down shifts

I'll test 1st ine above when I get time.

2nd line above was done in Test 4 above.
Test 4
Vehicle stopped / NM / DI=2 (Used paddle UPshifter to change display from D -> 2)
Changed to SM.
DI=2
There is now way to easily tell if the tranny downshifts when the car is stopped.

Not a valid test when static. I put it in 1 and changed modes and nothing happened.
I put it in 2 changed modes and nothing happened. I doubt Sport mode would start you in 2nd gear.

It may be different once you start to move but could not try that yet.
Mr. Incredible
it would appear that the car does not start in "2" in snow mode.


here is what I did..


got off the freeway on way home from work, put into snow mode.. as I slowed for a red light I pressed the upshift button, was doing 40ish and the car was in 6th. . it downshifted itself all the way to 1, when the light changed I pressed the upshift again and the car was in 1, I saw it change to 2.

I did this 4 times with the same results, the car downshifts itself to one and stays there in snow mode.


and FWIW snow mode on dry asphalt sucks, pedal to the floor and the car was chugging along like a fat kid on a moped.

OMG, you just reminded me of my cousin, a big kid. We both worked at the same place about 7 miles from home. He lived next door. His schedule was a half hour earlier and he left for home one day on his Honda 50. There was a strong headwind so even with his head start I beat him home.

Anyone have any ideas as to why I can not get the remote start to work using my key fob? Remote start does work with the App using climate feature.

Car is locked. Standing near by-5ft. When pressing and holding the remote start button, key fob flashes once and then nothing happens.

Brand new car. 200 miles😩

Did you try the other Fob that came with the car?

Yes. Both fob’s do not work…..
Jhon
Probably not your issue, but in case you did not know, as you can see from speeders message, you must push the lock button on the key fob first ....and then within a few seconds, push and hold the start button. You must push the lock button even if our car is already locked.
Again, I am not trying to offend you with something you probably already know, but you did not mention pushing the lock button first before pushing the start button in your message and sometimes we miss the littlest things.
I hope you get it worked out.

Ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago. Got a tracking number 10 days ago. Finally arrived today. After the delays and shipping, and back-and-forth on whether it was completed or not, I finally got my product. Installed as easy as the video shows. Took me about 35 minutes in the Texas heat. Works like a charm.

Will this work for 2022 g90? Same generation, just got a facelift. Key fob looks the same.

I would think it should... all the system innards are the same.

Hello GenesisOwners!

I came into my Genesis last August with 100K miles on her and she's a blast. As with all my vehicles I try and get a hold of the service manual so I can work on them with a semblance of knowing what I'm doing. Combing through these forums I found some dead links for the 2009/2010 service manual. I was wondering if anyone had been lucky enough to grab a copy of it while it was available and could send me/post the manual again? I looked through the 2009 manual that OneFunGenesis posted to his dropbox but I fear that the differences between the 2009 and 2010 are too much. I'm specifically trying to do some electrical work. Much appreciated fellers

Hi. I'm usually on Genesis Owners about my 2019 G90, but today I need some help troubleshooting my son's 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8. The local Hyundai dealer refuses to work on it despite it being a Hyundai (they don't have the Genesis dealership) and previously selling them, as they say they've had "bad luck working on them". Same for the dealer an hour South. The dealer at which I bought my G90 has the worst customer service of ANY business I've ever done business with, despite going through a new service manager every year. I cannot get a return call (of someone on the phone) while they have my car last time for 8 of the 12 weeks they had it, and in the end, they still didn't get the trunk issue I've had since purchase fixed. So, they're not an option. The next closest is Cool Springs in South Nashville, 3.5 hours away, but just drove by them today and it looks like the shop is in a complete demolition/rebuild.

My son has tried to troubleshoot this himself by purchasing a code reader and even dropped it for a few weeks at the local import car maintenance shop, and got a call that they could not reproduce the complete lack of power steering that happens unpredictably.

He is thinking of purchasing a used electric power steering rack (he says this is the first year or two the Genesis had electric steering rather than hydraulic) and just getting the local import dealer to replace it for him.

Is intermittent failure of the electric power steering a known issue with these vehicles? If so, what are the potential causes? He has looked at the service manual documents but doesn't want to tackle it himself. He thinks it may be a network/communications problem since the steering motor works fine when it is working.

The error codes he's getting haven't been helpful.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Regards,

Justin

My first stab at it would be to disconnect the electrical connections related to the unit and inspect for corrosion. Clean them up with some de-ox spray and maybe put a little dielectric grease on the seals on the connectors and then re-mate them. See if that makes any difference with the issue. Are the under-covers still installed? I've heard of problems developing with the steering when the undercover is left off.

Just got a call and email with video showing issues. The video shows the voltage measured at the electrical connections to be as expected in the service manual. They are quoting him $8,000 to replace the "MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING MODULE". The car is only worth $9000 sold to an individual in great condition, and much less if traded in. It doesn't make sense to replace the steering module at this price.

My son looked the part up online and can get one for $1000, but none of the independent shops in my area are willing to work on the car. In fact, the local Hyundai dealers in my hometown of Tupelo, MS and an hour away in Columbus, MS refused to work on the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even though it is a Hyundai! The dealer that it is with now is two hours away.

Does anyone know of any independent shops in Memphis, TN or Birmingham, AL that would tackle replacing the power steering module?

Or, is there a part of the steering module that can be replaced or overhauled, such as a bad electric motor, without replacing the entire assembly?
jcgraff
My son has decided to purchase a used electric power steering module ($500) and attempt to install it himself. This part cannot be purchased new from Hyundai, only as a complete electric steering rack with motor and control module. The Hyundai tech told him that the voltages measured at the module were within spec, which makes failure of the control module most likely.
joegr
I wonder if any programming will be required to make the replacement module work correctly?

I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m having a problem putting my floor mats back into my 2025 G70. I removed them easily enough by pulling them down from the top but cannot seem to snap them back in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Had the AC running yesterday and halfway home the temp gauge started climbing.
I turned the AC off and the gauge went down to just above normal.
Popped the hood at home and fan was running and no hissing leaking sounds
Any thoughts/advice?

Not enough information
How far did the gauge move? Was it near overheating or just a bit above?
With temperature on the road 95+ and heavy solar load, the AC is working hard and moving that heat to the radiator that cools the engine. Not unusual for it to be hotter.

If it was extreme and near overheating, I'd check the cooling system. Has it ever been flushed and coolant changed?

Hello everyone:

Please stay hydrated!

So the other day, heading back to the castle after a full morning of passing the pundits and errands, I came up behind a gray 5.0.

She looked like she could use a little TLC, maybe starting simply with a good wash. Then it hit me; this car had Hyundai badging, not Genesis. I’d never seen this before. Is this common? I’m guessing it’s a real early 2015, as my 2015 doesn’t have these badges.

Do tell.

Thank you.

Best.

Genesis did not become a car brand until November 2015, anything before that was a model of a Hyundai so yes, Hyundai badges. That is what my 2015 had.

As for the pop ups, easily eliminated. Become a paying member for as little as $20 a year. Someone has to pay for the servers, software, etc. Click the drop down "Help us Help You"

Your 2015 most certainly came from the factory badged as a Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The Genesis brand only started in 2017. Until then, they (at least in the US) were all came with Hyundai badges. It is a popular thing with the 2015s and 2016s for people to order and swap the Genesis badges once those became available.
