Auris Electrical Faults

I've got a 2018 Toyota Auris hybrid with only 21619 km. I'm experiencing some weird electrical issues. The error memory has logged a fault, and I'm getting general electrical malfunctions. The navigation system is completely dead. The report suggests an implausible programming of the control unit is to blame. Has anyone else encountered something similar?

Sounds like an ECU problem. These cars are computers on wheels, and sometimes the software gets a bit wonky. When you say 'general electrical malfunctions,' what exactly is happening? Is it affecting lights, windows, or anything specific?

The electrical malfunctions are a bit all over the place. Sometimes the interior lights flicker, and once the electric windows refused to work for a few minutes. It's intermittent, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you think a software refresh for the control module could fix it? Or is it more serious?

Yeah, intermittent issues like that do point to a control unit glitch. A software refresh is definitely worth a shot; it might clear out the bugs. The error code points toward that as well. But given it affects multiple systems, I'd get it checked by a professional who can properly diagnose and reprogram the ECU. Could be more than just a simple refresh.

That's helpful. I suspected as much. Looks like a trip to the workshop is unavoidable. The repair estimate I received was around 240€, so hopefully, a reflash will solve the issue. Will post a follow-up if it works.
