Electrical difficulties and starting problems with 2017 Toyota CHR gasoline engine with high mileage

Fault stored

Dim or flickering lights

General electric malfunction

Weak battery when starting the engine

Hey guys, I've noticed something weird with my 2017 Toyota CHR gasoline with just over 200,000 KM mileage (208449 KM to be exact). General electropoblems, stored error, weak lights and a lame battery when starting are my main problems. Somehow I have a suspicion that the issue might have to do with the disconnection of terminal 30... Have any of you had experience with this and can give me a tip on how best to approach the mechanic? I'd hate to be ripped off again. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards!

Hey, I recently had a similar problem with my 2014 Toyota Auris. I also had the same symptoms as you: electrical problems, weak lights and a slow battery when starting. In my case, it was a faulty battery sensor. When you go to the mechanic, tell him exactly what's wrong and what you suspect. In my case it wasn't too big a deal, they just had to replace the faulty battery sensor. It's definitely important to get that fixed because otherwise it can lead to bigger problems. Hope this helps you! Take care. Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply and the helpful tips! The faulty battery sensor you mentioned definitely makes sense for my Toyota CHR. Do you remember how much you paid for the repair? Have there been any other problems since then? Best regards!

Hey, that's what we're here for! The repair of the battery sensor cost me €315. That's actually a fair price, considering that the known signs of electrical problems were fixed. And yep, since the visit to the mechanic, the problem with the interruption of terminal 30 is also history. My Toyota Auris is now running as normal again, so everything is great. Hope this helps you! Best regards!

Hey, thank you! 315 sounds really fair for such a repair, especially if it fixes such a common problem. I'm reassured to hear that the problem with terminal 30 has also disappeared since the battery sensor was replaced. It's a nice feeling when the car drives as usual again. I'll take your advice to heart and take it up with the mechanic. Many thanks again! Best regards!
