why does my Genesis G70 engine rev high but not accelerate?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

1. Locate the transmission dipstick: Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Check fluid level: Insert the dipstick back into the tube and remove it to check the fluid level.
3. Inspect fluid condition: If the fluid appears dark or has a burnt smell, it needs to be replaced.
4. Remove transmission pan: Using a socket set, unscrew the bolts holding the transmission pan and lower it gently.
5. Drain old fluid: Allow the old fluid to drain completely into a container.
6. Replace filter: Remove the old filter and install the new one, ensuring it is seated properly.
7. Reinstall the pan: Clean the mating surface and apply a new gasket if necessary. Torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications.
8. Refill transmission fluid: Use a funnel to pour new, manufacturer-recommended fluid into the transmission via the dipstick tube.

3. Inspect and Adjust Throttle Position Sensor

1. Locate the throttle position sensor: Typically found on the throttle body.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the connector.
3. Test the sensor: Use a multimeter to check the resistance values of the sensor according to the service manual specifications.
4. Adjust if necessary: If the readings are out of spec, adjust the sensor position or replace it.
