Hi there. I've had my lovely Soarer for just over 2 months now and adore it. Yesterday morning it wouldn't start. I know it's not the battery as the dashboard lights up. It has a clicking noise but other than that nothing at all.
I'm thinking it's the starter motor or alternator. This Japanese writing came up on the EVU screen. Attaching photo. Can anyone tell me what's going on please?

Clicking noise in any car indicates the starter motor to me.
Use search on here to find the codes translation :-)

Put headlights on and turn key to start if lights dim right down , battery low, tighten battery leads .

Thanks Guys. It's not the battery which is a pity as that would have been the cheap option. I think it's the starter motor too. I haven't been able to find the translation on my screen yet.

When you turn key to starter action do you hear 1 click or many??

just for other people in the future the very rough translation is "Please start the engine as the battery will rise"

The battery level is low, check your leads to the battery for corrosion , check battery is okay , make sure the de-mobiliser is de-activated via the remote key pad. If all that checks out okay then check earth leads, if all is okay then its probably starter motor.
