Maverick Hybrid Generator Issue

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2021 Ford Maverick Hybrid. It's got 36566 km on it, and the generator seems to be failing. I've got reduced engine power, a warning light on the speedometer, and it's getting harder to start. Plus, the lights are weak and flickering, and the error memory is full. Anyone else seen this? I checked the battery connections, but I think the generator is defective.

A 2021 Ford Maverick Hybrid with 36,566 km is experiencing generator issues, leading to reduced engine power, warning lights, difficulty starting, weak and flickering lights, and a full error memory. The problem is suspected to be a defective generator, as battery connections have already been checked. A suggested solution is to verify the voltage drop across the battery terminals when the engine is running, with anything below 14V indicating a charging system issue. The owner plans to have the generator replaced by a mechanic.

That sounds frustrating! I had something similar with my old Opel Corsa. Same symptoms – power loss, warning lights, the works. Have you checked the voltage drop across the battery terminals when the engine is running? That might tell you if it's the charging system.

Thanks! Could you tell me what voltage readings I should look for? Did your Opel store an error code for the generator or charging system?

I can't remember the exact voltage, but anything below 14V when running meant trouble. And yeah, my Corsa threw a code for the charging system. I took it to a shop, and it was a faulty generator.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. It's good to know I'm on the right track. I'll book an appointment with a mechanic to replace the generator. The repair will cost around 960€, which hurts, but at least I know what's wrong.
