Uh oh, Genesis dual battery installation lit up dash

[CoachA]

24 hours after installing a Gen 3 Genesis dual battery system, I have computer codes lit up. The switch for front and rear lockers flashes, the Parking Sense button stays lit, traction control warning light is constant on the dash and a 4WD service light is lit up on the dash. Jeep runs and drives normally. Any advice on how to proceed is much appreciated.
I e-mailed Genesis this morning and am hoping they can advise. I would hate to have to take it to a shop as I try to do my own work. However, luddite that I am, computers are generally far above my abilities

Start by rechecking all the connections, make sure everything is tight. If you had to move the TIPM, reseat all the fuses and make sure the Zfuse is good and all connections are tight.

Thanks. I did have to remove and install the TIPM. Although I double checked that all connections seemed to be reseated, when I get home tonight, I'll recheck the main connections and go fuse by fuse looking for loose fuses or any that might need replacement.
You referred to the "Zfuse". What is that?

It's the high amp fuse array that things like the fan wires on to..

Did you ever resolve this? Having the same issue.
Have 12.8v to all 6 connections to the fuse box and all the fuses are seated correctly.

Yes I called Genesis and got it worked out. in the install video it tells you to take one of the negative wires and disconnect/stow it away. However, this is not correct. You have to leave it attached and/or reattach it. Once I did that everything worked fine. Hope that helps!

Yeah this is an issue. That video is so outdated and I have seen half a dozen peoppe at least on this forum alone that did the same thing. Either the video or written instructions do say there is a difference but IMO it needs to be more clear.

Thanks for the tip. I read all the posts in that thread. On my 2020 JT, I followed the video instructions, wrapped the end of the original aux. battery in electrical tape and left it unconnected under the fuse box. Far as I can tell, that's not my issue.
