Hello sifus,

Today I just experienced 2 problems after driving my car for around almost 1 1/2 years.
I've just changed to a new battery last month and did my last service a couple of weeks ago in Geot.

When I start the engine, I get the ""Battery charge or electrical supply faulty" indication, after that, "Engine Fault. Repair Needed." was shown on the screen.
The battery icon kept on lighting up during my drive.
When this happens, my aircond is not functioning as in not blowing cold air.

Anyone has experienced the same symptoms? I've searched the forum and most problems are just "Engine Fault. Repair Needed." But not both together.

Thanks.

Correction: air cond blowing hot air. as though air from the engine
The "Battery charge or electrical supply faulty" warning only being displayed during ignition, then it'll just go off. But the battery icon still lights up... Could it be alternator faulty?

Check your alternator. Reset the fault and start ur car. It might be low voltage and ECU cut off your compressor..Besides that, signal from sensor will become haywire and send wrong feedback to ECU so intermittent engine fault..

Hi chargerguy..

err... How to reset the fault?..

Is it still possible to drive to the SC without having the engine died haflway during the journey?

Called up GeotAuto and they told me I can collect my car today.

Asked what was the problem, they told me "coolant pump" problem... huh??..

Coolant pump is related to "Battery Charge Or Electrical Supply Faulty" and "Engine Fault. Repair Needed." warnings?..

hopefully I dont need to make another trip there again after collecting the car..

They might be right too, because last time when my car has pumps issue, beside "Engine Fault Repair Needed" appeared, the "Battery Charge Or Electrical Supply Faulty" error also appeared.

Coolant pump is an electrically operated unit. The pump probably has a problem related to electrical supply. The problem could be causing the battery to discharge,hence "Battery charge warning".

"Engine Fault Repair Needed" is a related warning saying the engine needs attention cos if the coolant pump is not fixed, it would lead to engine overheat. Then the engine will need repair! The engine is probably starting to pickup heat,ECU sensing this has sent this message.

Mine. Hot air blow from AC. Sent to Glenmarie. They change the cooling coil. cost me RM 3500. No more warranty.

U can get it change outside for a fraction of cost since no more warranty..Should cost less than 1.2k...

I'd experienced 'Electrical Supply Faulty' once. I got the message a few days after I collected my car from SC for replacing a leaking cooling coil. After the message appears, I remember only hot air coming thru vents. I stopped the car for a few minutes and started it again. The message is gone and never appear again to this day.

I too wouldn't go to Pug SC if on warranty. Long time Pug owners will be able to give you address of independent specialist. I will also need it as soon as my warranty expires! Anyone here can post a list of independent Pug workshpos! Tq.
