Kadjar generator issue
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Renault Kadjar with a gasoline engine is experiencing issues such as reduced engine power, warning lights, hard starts, and flickering lights, with a diagnostic reader showing a low voltage error. The battery and belt are in good condition, suggesting the generator might be the problem. Fluctuating voltage output from the generator further supports this suspicion. A proper diagnosis is recommended to confirm the issue, but the generator is likely the culprit.

Yeah, I checked the voltage output. It's all over the place, not stable. What was the issue with yours? Was it the generator, or something else in the charging system?

For me, it was the generator. Given your fluctuating voltage, it sounds like you're in the same boat. I'd recommend a proper diagnosis to be 100% sure, but be prepared. I spent 960€ to get it fixed.

Thanks! Heading to the shop. Hoping for simple, but generator seems the culprit. Wish me luck!

Sounds frustrating! I had similar issues with my Kadjar: weak start, power loss, and flickering lights! Did you check the voltage output from the generator while the engine is running? That's what clued me in.
