Corolla Hybrid electrical malfunctions

I'm having trouble with my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. It has about 196328 kilometers on it. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer, and there's an error stored after running a diagnostic. The battery seems weak when starting, and there seem to be general electrical malfunctions. It looks like the auxiliary battery isn't charging. Has anyone had similar problems?

Summary of the thread

A 2019 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is experiencing electrical malfunctions, including error messages on the speedometer and a weak auxiliary battery that isn't charging. A similar issue was resolved by checking the voltage regulator, which was not providing enough voltage to charge the battery properly. The suggested solution is to have the charging system components, particularly the voltage regulator, inspected and repaired by a professional.

I had a similar situation with my Corolla Hybrid. The error message and starting issues sound familiar. Have you checked the auxiliary battery's voltage? In my case, a faulty voltage regulator wasn't letting the battery charge properly. I had similar electrical issues and weak battery performance, though I didn't see any stored errors. It might be worth looking into the charging system components.

Thanks. Can you give me more detail on how you knew it was the voltage regulator, and what you did to fix it? Did you replace it yourself, or take it to a professional?

I thought it was the battery at first, but testing showed it was holding a charge, just a low one. After more tests, including checking the voltage regulator's output, it was clear it wasn't providing enough voltage to keep the auxiliary battery charged. Because the hybrid system is complex, and I don't have much experience with those parts, I took it to a trusted workshop for repair. I suggest you do the same.

Thanks for the explanation and advice. I'll take it to a workshop for a checkup. The estimated repair cost is around 290€. Hopefully, it's an easy fix. Thanks again for sharing your experience; it's been really helpful.
