2008 Yaris Died & Won't Start
Hi everyone, I am new here. I am not much of a car person or mechanically inclined, but I will do my best to describe the issues with my car. I greatly appreciate any help.
I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris with 118k mi. I was driving home yesterday afternoon and it died out on me. The car turns over, but will not start. Initially when it first died on me it felt like it was almost going to start a few times, but didn't. Actually this would happen after I waited awhile. I got a tow back to my place. I checked the battery and it's good. I ran a code scanner and I got the following 2 codes. C0278 and C1241. I see that for C1241 it could be because of bad battery or bald alternator. Since this is electrical could this be causing it? Also I checked the fuses along the EFI relay and all 3 fuses looked a bit darkened. I've attached photos. The check engine light is not on and no other codes are showing. Also sometimes when I first start the car in the morning there is a bit of a high pitched whining sound but then it stops almost immediately. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. Again I am not really mechanical but I did my best to look up what I could. |
