CHR Hybrid weak battery and flickering lights

I'm experiencing some electrical issues with my 2022 Toyota CHR Hybrid. It has 118130 km. Lately, I've noticed a weak battery when starting the engine, accompanied by weak and flickering lights. I've checked the battery voltage and it seems lower than it should be. I suspect a defective battery sensor. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

I have a CHR Hybrid too. I had something similar happen a while back. Have you checked the battery charge? I thought mine was a bigger issue, but it turned out to be a faulty sensor giving incorrect readings.

Thanks for the quick response! When you say 'faulty sensor', are you referring to the battery sensor specifically? And were your symptoms identical – weak starts and flickering lights?

Yes, the battery sensor. The lights weren't super consistent, but the weak starts were definitely there. I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop; they can properly diagnose the sensor's health.

Appreciate the advice. I took it to the workshop and you were spot on! It was indeed a defective battery sensor. The replacement and labor cost 315€. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
