Oh this has become a saga
Hey all,
so over the last couple of weeks I been tracking down why my car randomly doesn’t start. I have scanned the car over 20 times and was getting random codes. Cleared them and started off with a clean slate waiting to see what codes will come back. I also have to state that I have batteries, and start which were all replaced under 2 years. The common code is consumer shutoff and consumer battery which is the battery in the trunk. When I check the voltage to the rear battery is was extremely low. The front starter battery volt is 12..my car is 07 am I at a loss now cause I my car didn’t start this morning but when I came home after work the car started right up. What I noticed also is that as soon as I get in the car and turn the key to accessories I get message on my command screen they says low battery and that my command system will close in 3 mins.. my interior lights don’t come on unless I press the buttons. Any one can shed some light on my issues? My car 2007 s550. Is it the bcm?

leave the rear connected to a powerful modern trickle charger and see if the car keeps behaving ?
when I first got the car in 2014 the original 7 year old rear battery kept it alive for 20 mins - the two replacements never managed that long (even when brand knew and fully charged) - after 4 1/2 years into its 5 year warranty this Yuasa one tested as worn out and its free replacement is equally naff - its the same OEM 25kg AGM spec
everything today is budget crap aimed to last 3 years before the world ends - but its really mostly toast at 18 months
