Clio Hybrid Overvoltage Errors
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Renault Clio Hybrid with 117k km is experiencing overvoltage errors, weak 12V battery performance, and random electrical glitches. The issue is suspected to be related to the alternator or the hybrid system. However, a similar case suggests that a defective main battery can cause voltage imbalances, leading to overvoltage errors. Replacing the faulty battery resolved the issue, restoring normal vehicle function.

Interesting! You're suggesting a defective main battery could cause an overvoltage situation? I would understand the systems failing, but where does all the voltage come from if the battery is weak?

The underlying issue is the battery's inability to maintain a stable voltage, leading to imbalances and the recorded overvoltage errors. I recommend a workshop visit to diagnose the vehicle thoroughly. The defect lead to a repair bill of 290€ in my case.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I took it to my local mechanic, and you were spot on! Turns out the battery was toast, and the charging system was trying to compensate, hence the overvoltage. New battery fitted, and everything's back to normal after costing me 290€.

I also have a Clio. I had similar symptoms, including numerous fault memory entries referencing overvoltage and the eventual failure of multiple systems. In my case, the battery was heavily discharged and defective. Start there.
