Honda Crossroad Generator Issue

Sounds like a generator problem. Reduced engine power can occur if the car's electronics aren't getting enough power and it is drawing on the battery instead. The warning light is a classic sign. Poor starting is expected with a low battery. What error code is stored? That might give us an extra clue about how the charging system is failing.

The error code refers to 'Generator Voltage Low'. Could a failing generator, not providing sufficient charge, potentially lead to engine misfires or other damage to the car electronics over time? I want to prevent further complications.

Yes, 'Generator Voltage Low' confirms the core issue. A failing generator absolutely can cause engine misfires. The car's computer and sensors need stable voltage to function correctly. Low voltage can scramble their signals, leading to misfires and potentially damaging sensitive car electronics. I'd recommend getting the generator professionally tested or replaced ASAP to avoid further damage. The car's entire charging system should be checked, including the battery. Have a mechanic look at the starter motor too.

Based on your advice, I arranged for a comprehensive diagnostic assessment at a reputable workshop. The diagnosis confirmed a defective generator, necessitating replacement. The total expenditure amounted to 960€. Thanks for your time and assistance.
