P0730 on Genesis

Incorrect Gear Ratio

Critical1 Genesis model affectedSystem: Transmission

P0730 on Genesis vehicles indicates incorrect gear ratio. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Genesis model — most commonly on G90. This code means the transmission computer detected that the actual gear ratio (calculated from input vs. output shaft speeds) does not match what it should be for the commanded gear. In other words, the transmission isn't delivering the correct gear, which often shows up as slipping, flaring RPM during shifts, or being stuck in the wrong gear. It can stem from internal mechanical wear, low or contaminated fluid, or faulty solenoids and sensors. The vehicle may shift harshly or enter limp mode.

Common Causes of P0730

  • •Low or contaminated transmission fluid
  • •Worn clutches or bands (internal slipping)
  • •Faulty shift solenoids
  • •Dirty or sticking valve body
  • •Faulty input or output speed sensor
  • •Internal hydraulic/line pressure problems
  • •Torque converter problems
  • •General high-mileage transmission wear

P0730 on Genesis by Model

Genesis G90(1 issue)

  • 8-speed automatic harsh/jerky upshifts and low-speed lurch (solenoid TSB)2017-2020

    Owners report harsh, jerky 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 upshifts, hesitation and a low-speed lurch/jerk on the 8-speed automatic. A subset of 2018 V6 cars reported the transmission slipping toward Neutral from Drive/Reverse. Hyundai/Genesis issued a TSB attributing harsh upshifts to two shift solenoids that were upgraded.
