2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T — no crank, lights work, then it suddenly starts

OldSchoolNomadCommunity StarterFeb 27, 20262022 Genesis GV70 3.5TNYC / Long Island
Twice this month I turned the key/button and got lights but no crank. After trying again a few minutes later it started normally. Battery connections look clean. Starter relay, brake switch, starter itself, or something else? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Log the conditions before you spend. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2022 Genesis GV70 and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “no crank, lights work, then it suddenly,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Genesis GV70, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Genesis GV70, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2022 Genesis GV70 and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. That's the whole play. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

Tried a second charger / second scan and the story on the 2022 Genesis GV70 didn't change. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Quick add on that: Capture voltage while the 2022 Genesis GV70 is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “no crank, lights work, then it suddenly,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2022 Genesis GV70 and see if the fault moves. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2022 Genesis GV70 in NYC / Long Island. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'll poke at it this weekend.

I went back under the 2022 Genesis GV70 and it only happens after a heat soak, not on a cold start. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 2022 Genesis GV70 first. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

Ask what changed right before it started. Capture voltage while the 2022 Genesis GV70 is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Stop there until you know. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Two 2022 Genesis GV70s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “no crank, lights work, then it suddenly,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2022 Genesis GV70 does it — then decide on parts. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Stop there until you know. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Capture voltage while the 2022 Genesis GV70 is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Not driving it hard until I know more.

Yes, with one caveat: Move a coil or plug on the 2022 Genesis GV70 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. That's the whole play. That's my plan before I call anyone.
