PCS and check engine warning sign
 
hello,


I dont use my RC 350 for winter and put them to storage. i dont really start from time to time until today. i started my car but ofcoures it wont start as my battery probably got discharged. Anyway, i jumped it and when it started i got the error message PCS and track off and engine warning sign went on. Idea what it is and how to avoid? And whoever put there car in storage, what is the best practice? thanks

I suggest you use a battery tender. I bought this for my dad's car, which is not driven much during winter. I also installed a quick disconnect so all he has to do is unplug and go.

A battery tender is a trickle charger for your car battery. It will charge just enough that it will stay fully charged and not die. The quick disconnect is just the way you connect the battery tender to the car battery.

As for the original issue with the warning lights. I would suggest disconnect your car battery and charge it up. then reconnect the battery and start your car. The low voltage on your battery may have caused the error messages.

PCS and check engine warning sign
 
Hello,

Did you ever solve this issue?

After I installed a new battery,the error message for PCS, track off, and engine warning sign went on.

I even tried a hard reset by disconnecting the battery, waited 20 mins, then reconnect. Still no luck. Please help.
