Lexus RX400H problems - part 9- check hybrid system + check vsc system -12V problem - Bildilla

[@bildillamagasin]

!!!! I got the same error message back !!!! Now it seems that water leakage from the roof, and into the passenger compartment, may be to blame for water getting down to the hybrid battery pack! Will come back with my own video!!! The wrong information obviously comes when you have low voltage on the 12v battery. I was out driving today, and got the same wrong info. New battery etc., but I had forgotten to turn off the interior lights after I made a video the day before. By then the small battery had been drained a lot again. I wish they had bigger batteries in those cars for us who drive here in cold Norway!

!!!! Jeg fikk tilbake samme feil melding !!!! Nå ser det ut til at lekasje av vann fra takket, og inn i kupeen, kan være skyldig i at det kommer vann ned til hybrid batteripakken! Kommer tilbake med egen video!!!

What is the configuration of the new battery you installed after the hybrid or VSC light appeared on your main panel? AGM or Flooded? CCA? Capacity in Ah? Group size? I have exactly the same Lexus model and my Lexus has been showing the same lights for the last few days. However, I checked the battery and the alternator, and those are working fine.

Good day! I had to have a battery quickly and easily, so I chose what I could get as soon as the stores opened. It was also affordable :) Don't dare think about what a battery would cost at Lexus. Don't dare think about what people have paid to get towed to a workshop, then troubleshooting and ended up with a new battery at exorbitant prices. Wow, how some people get ripped off. Bought a 45 A, like the original in the car. It was exactly the same physical size, so it was very easy to replace. Biltema is a Swedish chain we have here in Norway, with ok batteries at reasonable prices.

@@bildillamagasin Thank you so much for sharing the info. I appreciate that!

@@faceless0821 Hello again. Good that you can help a little at least! I have had so many car challenges in the past year, so you have to try to learn as much as possible yourself. With all the projects I should have finished, it is economically impossible to put out the jobs. The prices at workshops here in Norway are so high, that you might as well give up on older cars. But after being that you learn more, and find cheaper suppliers for parts. Yes, then you can try to enjoy the process. Regards Pål (Paul)

Bonjour, j’ai eu la même chose que vous hier je roulais sur l’autoroute quand subitement la voiture a ralenti ralenti et je suis malheureusement😊 tombé en panne avec le même problème. Ma batterie est neuve elle a peut-être trois mois. Je ne sais pas quoi faire. Merci de me donner un petit coup de main

Good day! That didn't sound good. Here's an update that you might want to check out. My car worked perfectly fine for about 2 days, after I put in a new battery. But then the problem came back! Then it was time to start the hard work, and search for a possible water leak. Water penetrates, and finds its way down to the place where the hybrid battery is mounted. I was warned about this from the workshop, I had the car at the MOT control. I tried to look in the luggage area, but it looked dry in my place... But I started to take out the back seats, and keep looking! I posted a new video yesterday, about the work around this. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vcdomHbd2imdU Greetings Pål

Bonne journée! Cela ne sonnait pas bien. Voici une mise à jour que vous voudrez peut-être consulter. Ma voiture a parfaitement fonctionné pendant environ 2 jours après avoir installé une nouvelle batterie. Mais ensuite le problème est revenu ! Il était ensuite temps de commencer les gros travaux et de rechercher d’éventuelles fuites d’eau. L'eau pénètre et descend jusqu'à l'endroit où la batterie hybride est montée. J'ai été prévenu par l'atelier, j'ai fait passer la voiture au contrôle technique. J'ai essayé de regarder dans le coffre à bagages, mais il me semblait sec... Mais j'ai commencé à retirer les sièges arrière, et à chercher plus loin ! J'ai posté une nouvelle vidéo hier, sur le travail autour de ce sujet.

@ super 👍 j’ai regarder la Vidéo quel produit a tu mis ? Et j’aimerais savoir si sur le tableau de bord tu as réussi à effacer le problème pour la redémarrer à nouveau

@@Incognitooo25 Hi again. I used a glue from Wurth, which we use to glue plastic and metal at work. It is 80% hard and 20% flexible. Should be a little flexible, so it doesn't start to break up, and cause new problems over time. I got the wrong information reset, by disconnecting the 12V battery! I realized that I hadn't recalibrated the power windows, after I disconnected the power. A little video about this will come soon too ;) Greetings Pål ( Paul )

@@Incognitooo25 Bonjour à nouveau. J'ai utilisé une colle de Wurth, que nous utilisons pour coller le plastique et le métal au travail. Il est à 80 % dur et à 20 % flexible. Il devrait être un peu flexible, afin qu'il ne commence pas à se briser et à causer de nouveaux problèmes au fil du temps. J'ai pu récupérer les mauvaises informations en débranchant la batterie 12V ! J'ai réalisé que je n'avais pas recalibré les vitres électriques après avoir débranché l'alimentation. Une petite vidéo à ce sujet sera également bientôt disponible ;) Salutation Pål (Paul)
