Problems with starting and low battery power in Toyota FJCruiser 2014, petrol engine

Hey guys! I'm having a weird bug with my 2014 Toyota FJCruiser gasoline engine. The engine doesn't really want to start, the battery seems weak when starting and the lights are dimming or flickering. I suspect that the problem may have to do with the engine control unit. Have any of you ever had a similar problem and have any troubleshooting tips? I would also be interested to know what experiences you have had with the repair in the workshop. Thanks in advance for your help.

The 2014 Toyota FJCruiser is experiencing starting issues, weak battery power, and flickering lights. Possible causes include a weak battery, faulty alternator, ignition problems, or a malfunctioning starter motor. Suggested solutions involve checking the battery and alternator first, as these are common culprits for such symptoms. If these components are in good condition, further investigation into the ignition system or fuel pump may be necessary.

Start by checking the condition of the battery and the alternator, as a weak battery or faulty alternator can cause rough idling and flickering lights. Ensure the battery terminals are clean and secure. If the battery and alternator are in good condition, it might be worth inspecting the engine mounts, as worn mounts can cause vibrations at idle. Please update us on your findings or if you have more questions!

I renewed all of this, but the AEG problem is still there. I just discovered that when I turn on my lights, the problem goes away.

Since turning on the lights seems to affect the issue, it could be related to the electrical system. Check the grounding connections in your vehicle, as poor grounding can cause electrical issues and affect engine performance. Make sure all ground wires are secure and free of corrosion. Let us know if this helps or if you need further assistance!
