System Malfunctions
Happy Monday everyone. Figured I'd share my experience with this since I haven't found it anywhere else for our vehicle after searching all morning.
I went to get in my car to go to work this morning. Put the key in the ignition, nothing. Realized I had left my foglights on from the night prior and the battery was completely dead. Wife pulls out her RAV4, we jump the C-HR, and get it started. However, I now have two system errors showing. The first of which is "Reduced Engine Power," and the second is "Brake Override Malfunction."
Essentially, the car is just sitting at an idle. Absolutely zero throttle response. I let the car sit and run hoping to charge the battery up, but the errors didn't go away. I've turned the car back off and on again multiple times, but the errors still don't go away.
Our user manual only has information for the braking error, which supposedly is triggered when the gas pedal and brake pedal are pressed at the same time. Nothing on how to reset it, and nothing on the reduced power error. Both messages on the gauge cluster panel just say to visit a dealer.
So, I've got an appointment at Wesley Chapel Toyota in an hour. Only problem is I have no clue how I'm going to get the car there other than selling my left nut for a tow. I'll keep this thread updated with whatever I find out.

I have the same model C-HR great car mostly. However I have jumped started on 5 occasions. Very annoying. The dealer says nothing wrong. I suspect the battery is not strong enough for the load . Go for a 65AH replacement battery!!
Hey Nestor, I’m presenting same issue. Where they able to fix it???? What causes this???

It happened to me also. Had to get towed to the shop. Fixed it in no time.
I wanted to give my personal fix to this... Blown fuses. In my personal experience it was a blown ETCS fuse (under the hood). Ive seen different people with different fuses blown get this problem. Before towing your car, fix your battery issue (jump it or replace) then check your fuses. I was able to replace my ETCS fuse with the 10a that is provided on the fuse box. Easy quick fix. No towing or dealer needed
Did they say what the issue was? What was the cost of having it repaired by the shop?It happened to me also. Had to get towed to the shop. Fixed it in no time.
Did you happen to get your car fixed? I am having the same issue and have been unable to find a solution other than towing it to the dealership and my pocket cant really handle that hit right now.Any update? How was it fixed, what was the issue? I'm having the same exact problem today
Check all your fuses start with under the hood. One of mine was blown (see above)Did you happen to get your car fixed? I am having the same issue and have been unable to find a solution other than towing it to the dealership and my pocket cant really handle that hit right now.
Thank you! I will do that!Check all your fuses start with under the hood. One of mine was blown (see above)
Thank you for posting here! At first the fuses looked completely fine but after a really close look we found one was blown, swapped it out with a new fuse and everything is fine now. Like it never happened. THANK YOU!!!Check all your fuses start with under the hood. One of mine was blown (see above)
