Safrane overvoltage error

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, the battery is pretty old, and I've noticed it struggling lately. Could a bad battery really cause all these overvoltage errors and system failures?

Absolutely. A heavily discharged or defective battery can cause the alternator to overwork, leading to voltage spikes and all sorts of electrical gremlins. Get it checked out, but be prepared; it might have damaged other components. I ended up at a workshop to get it fixed. Cost me around 290€.

Thanks a lot for your help! It seems you were spot on. I replaced the old battery, and the overvoltage errors are gone! All systems are running smoothly now. I really appreciate the advice!

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my Safrane. A bunch of weird electrical problems all at once? First thing I'd check is the battery. Is it old or heavily discharged?
