I am new here, looking for help

 

My 4 year old Kodiaq.

 

Middle of highway engine lost power and all alarms go off (gear, breaks, air pressure, battery). 

 

 Power was on (radio, lights) but every start never moved the engine and all alarms started. 

 

After losing hope i opened the hood, played around with battery wires. Then all of sudden all fixed. 

 

Road technician that came in saw no issue with the wires or battery or charging 

 

At the dealer garage they saw event on the system memory. 

 

No "all is ok" scares me. It is all ok now but it can come again....

 

Anyone had such?

Meant the dealer so *no event in memory*. 

Had something similar once and it was a dead battery.  A colleague of mine also had something similar that turned out to be a loose battery connection.

Agreed; that number of unrelated faults pretty much has to be battery and/or alternator related. Are auto electricians a thing in Israel?

Thanks guys. 

 

There are technicians but they dont know where to start looking. It comes and goes. 

 

When the checked battery and charging seemed ok and so did the cables. But it happened again today and wiggling the battery cables fixed it. Oh well....

 

Thanks much friends!

OK, check the battery clamps properly, both of them, and where they should crimp onto the cables as well as where they bolt to the battery posts.

 

Oh and if I'm right, go to your service centre, ask to see the dealer principal, and ask him why a guy from the far side of Europe could diagnose the issue and his "technicians" couldn't.

Probably also worth checking the main earth strap where it bolts to the chassis if possible.  I'm also not sure if there is a 'master fuse' on the +be battery clamp.  I know some Hondas have them and they can have timy cracks in them but not sure about the Kodiaq

Thank you. 

 

Shouldnt actually the whole system work while driving even with out battery at all?

 

Why would a bad cable attachment to battery cause all this issue? 

 

If it was around the generator i can understand but this is merely the battery cable i am wiggling that solved the issue. 

 

Any idea?

I see your logic, but a modern "smart" charging system sometimes turns the alternator off to "save fuel".
