Hello people, I need help troubleshooting a possible electrical fault in a 2012 HONDA PILOT. Vehicle suddenly starts to drain battery life rapidly. Day 1: - Vehicle worked perfectly okay the day before and was parked but failed to start in the morning. - Got a battery (battery #2) to jump-start and drove for about 1hr to destination. I returned to the vehicle after about 3hrs and it failed to start. - Got another battery (battery #3) to jump start, drove home and parked it till next day. Day 2: - Sent my battery (battery #1) for charging and hired a battery (battery #4) to use for the period. Installed rented battery, drove about 30mins to destination, turned off engine, returned to vehicle about 20mins later and it wouldn't start. ignition lights comes on but wouldn't start. - Removed the rented battery and started the car with a borrowed battery (battery #5), disconnected the leads while engine running (to test alternator) and it didn't go off - Alternator okay? - Put back the hired battery (#4) and drove the vehicle home, disconnected the leads and parked overnight. Day 3: - Put back the leads, battery terminal sparking indicating battery power, dashboard lights comes on but still wouldn't start. I think i may have eliminated alternator and battery as the issue and may have other electrical problem. Is this correct by the steps outlined above? Is there other steps I could perform to ascertain the problem? Any recommendation for someone to help with electrical fault diagnosis. Vehicle is in Lekki-Ajah axis. Thanks |

Good day, could coolant/antifreeze be oily? Like it's slippery and won't wash off with water. It smokes when it touches the hot exhaust. Same content is in overflow tank and same at the radiator drain plug. Color is brownish, for a car that supposed to be pink/red. Car drives fine without any overheating. kingreign gazzuzz Pls opinions needed |

frebor: If you were to put coolant on your finger, you'll notice it has an oily feeling to it, but not like engine oil, more like soap and it rinses off easily, unlike engine oil. When coolant turns brown from pink, it should be drained and refilled. Same coolant that protects the cooling system , can become a catalyst for accelerated corrosion when overdue in a cooling system. 5 Likes |

Hello GAZZUZZ, Great work you're doing with this thread. I don't know if the specific issue with my Lexus ES 300 has already been addressed here but might take a while to run through the entire thread to find out. Therefore I decided to be as specific as possible. The attached screenshot shows a scan result done last week on the ES 300 (newly purchased toks, 3 weeks old). Car rides smoothly and everything okay except for the CHECK ENGINE (P0430 & P0441) which popped up for the first time immediately after I accelerated really hard two weeks ago on one occasion. Mechanic says I'll need to change the entire catalyst of the car or build a new one cheaply at Ladipo, but I'm wary of trying to fix a problem that never existed in the first place or even creating new real problems for my car. Finally, my car ignition delays (sometimes) when I try to start, regardless of how much driving I'd done previously or whether starting cold in the morning. Mechanic simply says to "prepare for a new battery," but this has been on for three weeks now and I feel that if it's a battery issue it shouldn't crank properly especially after being parked for a day or two. Is there a connection between the error codes and this starting problem? I personally think the error codes might be a faulty or mis-connected sensor, or, in the case of the ignition, a failing ignition coil. I'll appreciate your insights please.
