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

Hi, how were you able to solve this- have got the same issue with my camry; contemplating which to change, battery or alternator

Check the battery terminals and make sure they are tightly connected. Had similar problem and it was the battery terminals.

megacontrol:
I took the vehicle for electrical fault diagnosis and the alternator was reported to be faulty. It wasn't completely dead but was said to be slowly or partially charging and discharging (hence the battery drain).

The interesting thing is just by the technician fiddling with the alternator during the checks (disconnect - test - reconnect) the vehicle worked fine without that issue again for some weks. This gave me time to plan for the outright replacement.

It repeated again after about 2 weeks, then i replaced the alternator. No issues again since then.

Both catalytic converters, not present .

Replace catalytic converters on bank 1 and 2

pheranmie:


My 04 Corolla brought out same code
How do I go about fixing it and can I know the cost and what the implications of not fixing it

Is that engine price or what sir?. And can catalyst really cause big damage to car if not fix? Mine shows same code (bank 1 & 2) Camry 05 V6 and the price to replace the two is not here.

Dysfunctional catalytic converters do not cause any damage to your engines. It's simply a system used to protect the environment from harmful emissions. Most times the combustion of fuel in the engine produces harmful gases and causes pollution to the atmosphere. The catalytic converters contains some elements like platinium, rhodium blah blah blah about three if them and these are catalysts that stay at the exhaust region. When these pollutant gases like the killer carbon monoxide get to the exhaust region, these catalysts convert it to less poisonous carbon dioxide through some redox reactions that occur at the catalytic converter before discharging into the atmosphere. This implies without catalytic converters, your exhaust system eject carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. It does not harm your engine in any way.

oluwaseunla:


When dysfunctional catalytic converters break down and block the exhaust system, it can cause irreparable damage to your engine sir. This is due to the inability of the system to expel exhaust gases as at when due. A blocked exhaust can result in engine damage.

proclinician:


Great point.

blackfm:
Boss what's your take on engine decarbonization? I've been seeing some hot takes on how it can help engine run smoother and improve fuel economy. The folk doing this use a machine of sort, is it a good way to go?
I'm perfectly fine with my car though, just curious

GAZZUZZ:


Google Italian tuneup, thank me later...
