CT200h no start

My 2012 Lexus CT200h hybrid with 82714 km won't start. The engine doesn't crank, and there are no unusual sounds. I checked the battery cable connections, and they look okay. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with my CT200h. Have you checked the engine software for errors? It might be an ECU failure or a fuel injection problem. Also, when you checked the battery cable connections, did you check for corrosion?

I haven't checked the engine software myself, as I don't have the equipment for engine diagnostics. I visually inspected the battery cables and didn't see any obvious corrosion, but perhaps it's worth a closer look. Did you manage to solve the issue?

Yes, the issue was corroded battery cable connections. Visually, they appeared fine, but the corrosion was preventing a good connection. A workshop visit is unavoidable to get this fixed.

Following your advice, I took it to a mechanic who cleaned the battery cable connections thoroughly. This resolved the issue. The repair cost was 155€. I appreciate your help!
