He connected the battery diagnostics tool, which rated my battery health as a poor 3/10 (that delivered the harsh and expensive verdict: Replace battery). The SA immediately analyzed it as a battery problem. Went immediately to the service center and explained the problem.
And no indicator lights were lit up, giving an impression of absolute normalcy (I felt that this was my car's way of getting back at me for ignoring her!). Waited for some time and started again, and I was lucky to get it started on the fourth try. There was no noticeable "struggle" during the cranking.
When I came back to my car to start, it would keep cranking and refused to start. Since I had to stop somewhere for some work, I switched off. Every morning was the same result - the two indicators would light up, and stopping and starting again would fix it. Since I was busy that week, I ignored the problem. Switching off and starting again would always fix the indicators. However, there was absolutely no problem in starting the car. Life was monotonously predictable and good, when suddenly one morning last week, two indicators continued to be lit up even after starting:Īccording to the owner's manual, The left one idicated "service reminder" (how considerate!), and the right one was "Water in the fuel filter, that needs to be drained". There's also an indicator for battery charging, which I'll come to later.Īfter servicing my car last August, I was driving my car with no issues. For example, my swift dzire has indicators for power steering problems, ECU, brakes, oil. These in turn are connected to the dashboard display to give visual feedback to the driver. You name the potential problem, and there's a sensor for it. Modern cars today are equipped with all kinds of sensors.
