Arkana Terminal 30 Error

I'm having a strange issue with my 2021 Renault Arkana gasoline. It's got about 86k km on it. I'm getting a 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted' error. The car starts poorly, like the battery is super drained. I've checked the obvious stuff – battery connections seem fine, but could it still be a heavily discharged or defective battery causing this? Anyone else run into this?

Summary of the thread

A 2021 Renault Arkana owner experienced a 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted' error, leading to poor starting, similar to a drained battery. Despite checking battery connections, the issue persisted, suggesting a possible heavily discharged or defective battery. Suggestions included inspecting the circuit breaker, fuse box, and charging system. Ultimately, a local shop confirmed the battery was defective, replaced it, and verified the charging system was functioning correctly.

I've had something similar with my Arkana. Did you check the circuit breaker and the fuse box? A faulty circuit there could cause weird power draw issues. Is your charging system working correctly, or do you think the battery is not being charged correctly?

Good point! I haven't dug too deep into the fuse box or the circuit breaker yet. Where exactly should I be looking? And how would I test the charging system to see if it's the culprit?

For the fuse box, check the fuses related to the starter motor and charging system first. Regarding the charging system, a multimeter can help you determine if the alternator is properly charging the battery while the engine is running. If you are unsure, I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop before you damage the wiring harness or something else.

Thanks for the insights! I suspected it might be something like that. I ended up taking it to a local shop, and you were right – turns out the battery was heavily discharged and defective. They replaced it, and the charging system seems to be working fine now. Total cost was 290€. Appreciate the help!
