2008 Toyota Alphard Hybrid – Intermittent Start Issue in EV
in Toyota Alphard Hybrid (2002 - 2008)
Posted
Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a peculiar issue with my 2008 Toyota Alphard Hybrid (E-FOUR). Here’s what’s happening:
The car usually starts fine and drives normally.
However, occasionally when switching from EV mode to engine mode, the engine fails to start.
Attempting to start again produces a high-pitched “wiiiiiing” noise, almost like a starter motor or magnetic clutch isn’t engaging.
No warning lights appear on the dashboard.
I suspect it might be related to the sprag clutch or starter/motor components, but I’m not certain.
If any hybrid transmission experts have encountered a similar issue or can offer guidance, your advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance.
