Hi, I have a 2011 SR5 4WD Hilux. I’ve owned it since 2013. It has 294000km on it and I do around 50000km a year in it at the moment.
Today I left home at 4:30, LED driving lights on and the entertainment centre started to flick onto the bright setting that’s normally when the lights are off. Then it started to turn off and re-start. Then the battery light came on. I turned the driving lights off and the issue went away. So I assumed the battery or alternator was on the way out. However no issues from the battery all day. It has started fine
Then the auto wouldn’t shift down under load properly (I was towing a trailer). Next the AC started to cut out under load on big hills and it seemed to lose a heap of power on hills. The auto wouldn’t shift properly even when shifted manually.
The viscous fan has been running more than it used to for quite a while when I think about too
Any suggestions? Auto about yo shit itself, motor about to lunch itself?
It’s a D4D by the way.
