Hey, no problem, glad I could help! I remember that replacing the engine control unit was a bit expensive, it cost me 1000 euros. But since the repair was done, the little one has been running like a kitten again, no further problems. On the subject of the vehicle battery temperature sensor: yes, that was also done. Since I've been to the mechanic, it's working perfectly again. Expensive fun, but at least everything is fine now. Hope this helps you!

Hey, 1000 euros! That's quite a lot, but if that's the solution, I guess I'll have to accept it. It's good to hear that everything has gone well since then! I'll ask my mechanic to check the engine control unit and the vehicle battery temperature sensor. Hopefully it's just the sensor, it would cost me less to replace. Thanks for your help, that really helped me. Wish you all the best and that your Toyota continues to run like a kitten!

Hi buddy, I had exactly the same situation with my 2013 Toyota Avensis. However, the problem was not with the battery temperature sensor, but with the engine control unit. At first I thought it might be something to do with the battery, but the mechanic checked the control unit straight away and found the fault there. The replacement was no small matter, but it solved my problem completely. Hope this helps you!
