So, tried starting my car yesterday and...nothing. Stepped out, locked the car, came back in and this came on:


I proceeded to exit and lock the car and get in yet again. Error messages disappeared, but the Check Engine Light came on. Next time I started the car the CEL disappeared as well. Going to the dealer tomorrow - they said to show up even if the CEL is not on, just to investigate (I shared this video with them as well).

So, the question is, has anyone had this kind of issue before? And if yes, what was the culprit?

 

Others have mentioned a slew of error messages like this. Low battery?

 

Water got into something. If you used power wash, don't admit to it.

 

Dodgy earth, low supply power...could be a multitude of faults.

More likely to need a good battery charge and remove the Positive terminal for 10 mins to 'Reboot' the brains.

 

Sure signs of a low/dying battery. Charge it fully and see what happens.

 

Any update on what they found?

 

I was really busy and could not go Thursday, so I'll bring it in Monday or Tuesday instead. I will keep you guys posted. REALLY curious myself. Car is driving fine now, no issues. Weird.

 

Loose, rusty grounds.

 

Probably not got anything to do with his coffee.....
