Toyota Rav4 Battery Light Stays On

I have a 2006 toyota rav4 with over 200 000 miles.

Toyota rav4 battery light stays on.

Malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Lights went off for about a week now the battery light is back on and wont go off. How to reset battery warning light. Typical symptoms no charging battery light no voltage increase at the battery while running.

Your rav4 will operate for a short period of time off of the battery alone. A mechanic such as one from yourmechanic can perform a load test voltage and amperage output test and voltage drop test to determine the cause of your battery light. When the light comes on after blinking for 1 minute. I had the alternator checked says good replaced the battery.

It is the original alternator and the battery is actually a 2011 model so i figure it s time for these things to happen. But if the alternator has gone bad it will eventually leave you stranded. A charging system test should be able to pinpoint the cause. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level.

This is the same connector that lets the on board computer know if the alternator is charging or not which is what the battery light actually means. A bad battery bad connection bad alternator bad regulator etc. The light will turn off after a few minutes. I swapped out everything including the battery to be proactive and still no.

You can use a volt meter to test what the battery is receiving by connecting it to the middle of the posts while the engine is running. Are all things that can cause the light to come on. In case the light does not turn off even if the tire inflation pressure is adjusted have the system checked by your toyota dealer. Check to make sure the wire is not broken.
