Hi Muki,no dual battery system,but it does drain the battery .. its going to toyota in the morning and they have to have a look as to what caused this and what would be the way forward.. luckily its at the dealers expense.muki wrote:Does your engine light come on when you out on ignition? Do you have a dual battery system or similar? My friend hilux died twice in a two week span. We traced it to a voltage spike from a cheap dual battery system. Blew the ECU. Had to have the system reporgrammed and then you have to mate the ECU and engine . Haven't had issues since removing the dual battery thing.

Hope you get it sorted. Sounds like you have a parasitic current draw which is also causing the ECU to pop. Hope you get a good technician who is able to think a bitRNel3 wrote:Hi Muki,no dual battery system,but it does drain the battery .. its going to toyota in the morning and they have to have a look as to what caused this and what would be the way forward.. luckily its at the dealers expense.muki wrote:Does your engine light come on when you out on ignition?

The unfortunate thing these days is that techs are like cooks....they only follow the recipe, so if it is "not in the computer" they can't find the fault , and according to the flow diagram it is then automatically driver abuse.
Hi all, they picked up a ecu fault the problem is as I understand it the bakkie has 2, and they cant tell which on it is...Mars wrote:I'm quite intrigued Rhyno. So did they manage to get the bakkie started? What error codes did they pick up from the ECU?
