Lexus of Albuquerque invites you to find out the reason why your Lexus battery lightcame on.
If the car battery indicator comes on just when you start the car, that’s a standard system check. If the car battery light stays on, then there is likely a problem. If you’re having problems with your battery, you may find that the headlights aren’t as bright, the stereo may not turn on, and the power windows might be moving slower. If any of these things are happening, you really need to get home or bring it to us ASAP because your vehicle is about to die. If neither destination can be reached, look for a safe place to pull over and park.
Like nearly everything automotive-related, how much you can drive with the car battery light turned on truly depends on many factors. If the light just turned on, you can do things like turning off all non-vital systems like the infotainment system or air conditioning and removing any devices that may be charging in USB slots. This will extend the leftover battery charge, but you should get here or return home. The critical thing is to NOT turn off the engine because a dying battery won’t have the power to restart.
There are several reasons why the car battery light might come on, but generally, the reasons are:
Your car works most efficiently when it has a charged car battery. Any one of the problems listed above will make it difficult for your battery to get a charge. If it’s not repaired as soon as possible, it can leave you stranded.
If there’s a safe place to pull over, at least you can pop the hood and look at your battery for corrosion on the battery terminals or a loose cable. Besides those quick checks, the best way to fix the car battery light is to bring it here. Our knowledgeable technicians have the skills and specialized tools to diagnose the problem. They’ll analyze everything from the health of your battery to checking out your alternator and recommend the best plan to get your car fixed.
