I own a 2016 Toyota Scion IA. Has anyone replaced battery yet? I have 50k miles on it. My check engine light came on. Just a solid orange. I drove it over to Autozone to have diagnostics ran. Guy bsc said no big deal just drive on it to reset it. Real short with me so I asked him to test the battery he couldnt get a reading not sure why. Should I just go ahead and replace the battery and see it the light goes off?

What was the code thrown?

when the battery is defective it gives code. If you still have the factory battery, I recommend you replace it, the battery model used by the vehicle is group 35

Replace the battery. And don't trust any ordinary Autozone folk. They will do the test but I doubt they are paying attention to thoroughly talk about what the issue could be. You could never go wrong by replacing the battery first before anything else.

I have already replaced mine after an Autozone person told me it was probably the alternator. Had a second opinion, replaced the battery, and haven't had issues since.

I just opened the hood of my 2016 Scion iA, and found this corrosion on one terminal of the battery. I bought it used and it has only about 50k miles on it. What did you mean when you said the original battery was junk? I suspect I have one and am trying to figure out how big an issue this corrosion is.

I believe this battery is also supposed to have a plastic housing cover which is missing. Can someone confirm?
