Battery Light followed by All dash lights on and loss of function

Toyota Corolla 2012 Corolla LE 265000 miles
The last couple weeks my battery light will flicker for a moment then come on solid followed by all the dash lights and the loss of function in the speedometer. The brights come on and power steering goes off along with traction control. When this happens I pull over and turn the car off, restarting after a minute or so. This clears all of the dash lights and restores function but leaves the check engine light on and the "trac off" light next to it. The code it throws is a p0500 which is for "Vehicle Speed Sensor". I replaced the alternator a couple months ago, the battery last week, the serpe… Read complete

Finally solved my battery die problem. According to the electrical guy, My CPU has died, the starter needed to be replaced, and a relay ignition replaced. My battery is good. Lesson learned, find a good electrical guy. The price was not cheap. The problem is fixed!!! I have a five-year guarantee.
George from United States 3 years ago
It seems a lot of people are having the same problem with Toyota batteries going dead when the car is sitting. The cause isn't always the same, so a consistent answer can't be found. Replacing batteries and alternators only helps for a while and then the problem reappears. It is very expensive, yet not a final solution. Very upsetting for an 86 year old man who has no family and needs a reliable and economical car to get to the doctor and the grocery. Is suicide the only answer - I wouldn't consider it, but it doesn't seem that anything is going to solve my problem.

Toyota Corolla 2010 Carolla 52000 miles
Bought car 3 weeks ago from dealership as is. Car was fine until 2 days ago battery was dead, which is brand new, alt good. Noticed that the pass air bag light was blinking every 2 seconds. Wondering if this is normal never noticed it on before. They only thing changed in car was radio didn't work, which they replaced a week ago. Wondering if this air bag light could have drained battery?

Car did start after I charged battery 100%, but it was dead 12 hrs later. Never noticed the passenger air bag light flashing after removing the key. Also I had no problem with car for 2 weeks but when dealership replaced factory radio 6 days later is when car wouldn't start. Alt and new battery is good per them. My ? something is drawing power when car sits. A battery shouldn't die when it sits overnight.

I am having trouble to start the engine of my car. All the lights actually turn on but the car itself won't. I've tried the battery in another vehicle and it works properly. I really don't know if it can be a fuse failure. Could you please help me?

The first thing you should do is to put the car in neutral and check whether it starts there. If it does, then your problem is the ignition engine, which is located beneath the intake manifold. It has got two wires, a thick one coming from the battery and a thin one that recibes the switch's signal. You should try removing or peeling the thin one and inserting a piece of wire to give it directly from the battery. If it still does not work, then there must be an engine failure.

Car intermiddently starts.

Toyota Corolla 2003 1.4 vti 75000 miles
Car can be fine and starts without a hitch but then occasionally decides not to start after having stopped somewhere for a break. Engine is cranking and it's not possible to bump start the car by lifting the clutch so pretty sure battery is fine. Plugs recently changed. Mechanic couldn't diagnose and refused to believe it was fuel pump as car would cut out when running which it doesn't. Sometimes I wait 10mins and it miraculously starts again as if there was no problem. Bit frustrating really as you never know if it's going to play ball on not on any particular day. Help!!

I have all this fault code
tekcortom from United States 7 months ago
So, I've got the same model and year corolla it's got like 190k miles on it and it's the japan made version and here's what I did, replaced the gas cap and the purge solenoid. My bud says that you need to do a wiring check for faults, you likely have a wire that has rubbed it's insulation away and is grounding. I can help further if you give me a better description of the behavior before the issue and after the issue started, what you've tried, the resistance readings from certain electrical components... ect... more information will be key in diagnosing the problem. Also for future posts, just listing the codes on here will discourage replies, no one wants to do an additional google search to see what the codes are trying to tell you about what is going on. Thanks I'll reply fairly quickly for you.

2015 Toyota Corolla cranks but won't start, B2799 code

Toyota Corolla 2015 LE, 2ZR-FE engine  65000 miles
No previous related issues and it has always been able to start until very recently. I have 2 keys and neither had any issues before. Don't see what could have caused the problem. Tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after 15-30 minutes but it doesn't change anything. Neither does trying to reset the ECU or immobilizer by connecting the 4th and 13th pins on the OBD-II connector, turning on the ignition, and waiting 30-45 minutes. The security light turns off when I insert the key (happens for both keys I have), presumably indicating that the immobilizer does recognize the key,… Read complete

2019 Se, 1.8L, ZRE172L (Starting Problem)

Toyota Corolla 2019 Se/1.8/ ZRE172L 105000 miles
Hey, so i have a 2019 corolla, and my issue with it is it turns fine and everything like that. Whenever i put gas in the car it struggles to turn on. It takes up to 5-10 cranks to get the car started. Sometimes whenever i’m cranking i have to press on the gas to get it to start. Battery is fine, i measured with voltmeter is giving me healthy numbers. Also, I put the product called “Lucas” every month for my fuel injectors, so i don’t know if it has to do anything with my fuel injectors. Can anyone give me ideas on what my problem can be? Thank you in advance.
