Getz electrical gremlin Terminal thirty error

Having an odd electrical gremlin with my 2006 Hyundai Getz diesel. Getting a 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted' error. The car starts poorly, and I suspect it might be related to a battery issue. I've checked the battery, and it seems heavily discharged, or maybe even defective. Has anyone seen this before?

I had something similar with my Getz. Did you check for a voltage drop across the fuse box? That's where my problem was.

Okay, appreciate the tip. Where exactly on the fusebox should I be probing with the multimeter, and what sort of voltage drop would be considered excessive?

It was a while ago, but I think it was the main power feed into the fuse box. Anything more than 0.5V drop indicates a problem. Honestly, given the age of our cars, it might be time to get a workshop to check the circuit breakers too.

Thanks for the pointer; it was indeed the battery. After a visit to an auto electrician, who confirmed that the old battery had given up, I've resolved the problem with a new battery at a grand total of 290€. The car's starting perfectly now!
