GS450H immobilised

[Edgey61]

Drove my 2006 GS450H last night and the Traction Control and Engine Management Light and Check Hybrid System/VSC messages came up. 

The car drove fine and I parked up

Upon returning 3hrs later the key fob wouldn't work and there was a clicking noise coming from just behind the front bumper. 

Absolutely no life on anything electrical apart from the front indicators flashing on the dash.

Sounds expensive !!! 

Any ideas ?

Check the 12 volt Battery in the lefthand rear corner of the boot. The fact that vertualy everything electrical is not working points directly to this.

Sorted !!!!!

I think the Auto Headlighting didn't switch off the lights draining the Battery !

With a diagnostic check one of the Hybrid Cells is shot but this is still under warranty from the previous refurb so all is good 🙂

Thanks John

That was exactly the problem 😉
