Lexus CT200h Generator Fault

Hi, I have a 2015 Lexus CT200h hybrid with only 33806 km on the clock. I'm experiencing reduced engine power, a warning light on the dash, and the car starts poorly. The lights are weak and flicker sometimes. Error memory shows a generator fault. Could this be a defective generator?

A 2015 Lexus CT200h is experiencing reduced engine power, a warning light, poor starting, and flickering lights, with an error memory indicating a generator fault. These symptoms suggest a possible defective generator or alternator issue. A similar case confirmed the alternator as the problem, and it is recommended to have it professionally checked and replaced to prevent further damage.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my CT200h. Weak lights and trouble starting were the first signs. Have you checked the serpentine belt? An alternator issue can cause all those symptoms.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't checked the belt yet. Was the alternator the actual problem in your case? And was the error memory indicating the same?

Yes, the alternator was indeed the culprit. All the symptoms you described were exactly what I experienced, and the error code pointed to the generator as well. Get it checked professionally; in my experience, it's worth the cost to avoid further damage.

Appreciate the confirmation. I'll take it to a workshop to get the alternator replaced. Thanks again!
