Warning lights

[Tarak]

I bought this 2010 Estima Hybrid last 1st February, while driving two week ago, these four orange warnings lights did show as per the image, lucky I have the warranty still live, after waiting for the dealer over a week finaly he sent me a specialist home last night, all it was this thin cable which supposed to be attached/sticked on top of the usual car Battery situated at the back left of the car, the scan did track this issue, after switching off then on, all fine, test drive the car on the motorway this morning, all good...

I never knew a thin electric cable needs to be attacked just on the top of Battery and it was the cause for this 4 warnings lights...

I didn't understand the text that well but was it an additional earthing?

Hi Tarek,It's understandable that you weren't aware of this thin cable and its importance. Car batteries do have various cables connected to them, but it's not something most people come across regularly. A few possible reasons why this cable might have become detached.

Over time, vibrations and movements can loosen connections.Maybe during a prior service, the cable was inadvertently knocked loose. In rare cases, there could be a slight issue with how the cable was attached initially.Regardless of the cause, it's good that the issue is resolved now and your car is back to normal. It's always a big relief when a warranty comes in handy!
