Clio Hybrid No Start

My 2022 Renault Clio hybrid, with nearly 200000 km, won't start. I suspect an engine control malfunction. I've checked the basics, and the battery voltage seems okay, but could bad cable connections cause this?

Engine won't start at all, huh? I had a similar issue with my old car, though it wasn't a hybrid. Did the check engine light come on? Have you tried any basic diagnostics, like listening for the fuel pump when you turn the key? Could also be a dodgy ECU issue. Did you check the cable connections?

Check engine light is on, yes. I suspected the ECU too. Is there a way to test the cable connections without specialized equipment? What readings am I looking for?

Hmm, check engine light and ECU suspicion... sounds a bit beyond basic DIY. Honestly, without proper tools, testing the cable connections thoroughly can be tricky. I'd hate for you to chase a ghost. Maybe a workshop with proper engine diagnostics equipment could pinpoint the issue faster and prevent further headaches? Worth considering, right?

You were right, it was the cable connections of the battery, they were not good. Cost me 155€ to get it sorted. Thanks for the advice.
