If your Check Engine Light comes on, consider the following steps as a general guideline and consult your Owner’s Manual or contact your dealer or manufacturer for details that apply to your vehicle:</p>
<p>1. Ensure Safety First: If the Check Engine Light is steady and your GV70 seems to be driving normally, reduce speed and avoid heavy acceleration, especially if you are far from home. If the light is flashing, safely pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
Inspect the Gas Cap:
- A loose or damaged gas cap is a common reason for this warning. Tighten it until it clicks and see if the light turns off after a few trips.
Observe How the Vehicle Performs:
- Notice if you hear unusual noises, experience reduced power, or see warning messages about systems such as DRIVE MODE SELECT or SMART CRUISE CONTROL. This information will be vital for your technician.
Schedule Professional Diagnostics:
- Do not ignore the warning. Contact a certified Genesis dealer like Genesis of Wichita to schedule an inspection. Our factory-trained technicians use state-of-the-art Genesis diagnostic equipment to pinpoint issues and help protect your investment.
Avoid DIY Repairs on Electronic or Safety Systems:
