My GS 300H has been stood idle whilst on furlough.

The 12v Battery was flat so I tried to recharge but when I connected to the terminals there was an intermitant alarm coming from the Hybrid Battery.

This would go for about 4 cycles then stop.

I disconnected the 12v Battery and fully recharged it hoping that this may rectify the issue.

As soon as I reconnected the terminals the same thing happened

This sounds like I have an expensive repair on the way :-(

Any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated

Thanks John

That was exactly the problem 😉

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 🙂

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 ?
