Currently the new Genisys software and System 3.0 will fit on a 512 MB card. BUT, this will be the final release for the 512 MB memory card.

Genisys System 3.0 Vehicle Software and Memory Requirements

Each year Genisys software increases in size. This year is no exception! Users request and expect additional coverage like the “NEW for ’08” increased Hyundai and Kia coverage and repair information like Pathfinder Troubleshooting, Repair-Trac, and Fast Fixes, but it increases memory size.

November’s new Genisys software releases are: USA Domestic 2007, USA Asian 2007, and System 3.0. A 1 GB memory card is recommended, but Domestic & Asian 2007 come with System 3.0 and will install on an existing System 2.0 512 MB card.

A few release notes:

Installing USA Domestic and/or USA Asian 2007 on a System 2.0 512 Megabyte card

• Due to the 512 MB memory size limitations, there are a few program differences, such as:

• No future updates can be installed, a 1 GB memory card will be required.

• Latin America 2004 will not be installed on a 512 MB card (1 GB required).

• Slower initial installation due to file compression and decompression required.

Installing USA Domestic and/or USA Asian 2007 on a System 3.0 1 Gigabyte card

• All applications will install and FAST…………

• You are ready for future new software releases.

The technician currently selects the appropriate System Smart Insert he needs for the job.

The new OBD II Smart Cable is essentially “plug and play”.

Definition:System Smart Inserts (SSI’s) are used to “mux” or route connector data lines as necessary to facilitate OEM enhanced communication and can sometimes contain electronics. SSI’s provided access to this OEM enhanced information in place of additional cables.

What was once the best low cost solution is now re-invented with the Genisys OBD II Smart Cable.

Over 50 System Smart Inserts replaced with one Smart Cable

Genisys OBD II Smart Cable

Genisys OBD II Smart CableFeatures/Changes

• Previous OBD II SSI Cable goes away

• Over 50 SSI’s go away!

• No new SSI’s in the various Genisys Kits - many were planned!

• Sophisticated electronic circuitry in the new OBD II Smart Cable replaces current and future line switching System Smart Inserts (SSI’s).

Bottom Line Benefits

• Improved technician satisfaction

• Improved test capability

• Faster Diagnosis, more convenient

• Higher technician productivity

Automated System Test™& Quick DTC Scan

• With one button press, Automated System Test and Quick DTC Scan performs a system “health check” of all available vehicle controllers.

• Any trouble codes found are reported along with other vital scan data.

• Repair-Trac pattern failures and available repair information are linked to trouble codes of the top known component failures.

Re-inventing Genisys

Genisys NEW System 3.0 Quick DTC Scan

Quick DTC Scan• DTC Scan taken from the Automated System Test DTC function.

• Scans all supported systems automatically for DTC’s.

• Quick DTC summary screen the same as in Automated System Test results.

• DTC’s listed by controller

• Press Enter on selected DTC’s to view repair information.

• Print Detail of all DTC’s

Automated System Test™, One button press and it will perform the test and report the data in a fraction of the time it used to take using manual, step by step procedures.

Automated System Test™ begins to automatically poll all available controllers for DTC’s and other vital scan data.

Genisys Automated System Test

Genisys Automated System Test™ ties together the diagnostic power of Pathfinder™, Repair-Trac InfoTech™, and Fast Fixes™ troubleshooters for you, saving time and increasing profitability.

4Start the engine (KOER), and allow to warm to normal operating temperature. Once the engine is at normal operating temperature, go on to the next step.

Fuel calculations can be affected by unmetered air leaks. Carefully inspect the following areas for potential air leaks. A-Hoses connecting to the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. B-Hoses connecting to the throttle body. C-Intake manifold gasket leaks. D-Leaks in the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. E-Disconnected vacuum lines. F-Improperly seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap. G-Exhaust leaks at flanges and gaskets. If a concern is found, repair that concern and retest the system. Otherwise, go on to the next step.

Note: Upstream oxygen sensors should switch from rich to lean every few seconds. The voltage should toggle above and below 0.450 DC volts and never be a negative value. Using the scan tool, access the live data readings related to the heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) bank 1 sensor 1and bank 2 sensor 1. Is the DC voltage toggling between 0.4 and 0.6 volts? If the voltage is within the specified range, go on to the next step, otherwise go to step 10.

Note: Downstream oxygen sensors will stay close to a constant positive value near 0.450 DC volts when the catalyst monitor is OFF. When the catalyst monitor is ON, the downstream oxygen sensors will switch rich to lean above and below 0.450 DC volts and never be a negative value. Using the scan tool, access the live data readings related to the bank 1 sensor 2 and bank 2 sensor 2. Is the DC voltage remaining constant near 0.450 DC volts or toggling between 0.4 and 0.6 volts? If the voltage is within the specified range, it appears the HO2S system is operating correctly at this time. If the voltages are not within the specified
