Engine Stops After Battery Disconnect
I have a 2020 ORP and, like everyone else, am busy installing lights, radios, etc. The first thing I do every time I start tearing into things is disconnect the negative battery cable. I've had the dash apart several times, removed the front seats, etc., so disconnecting power is always the first step.
What I've noticed is, every time I disconnect the battery - even if that's all I do - the engine stops after about 5 seconds after I put it all back together and fire it up. I can then immediately restart and it continues to run normally. Again, this happens even if I don't disconnect or work on any other systems. Simply disconnecting the battery causes it to happen. Anyone else seeing this? Any idea what causes it? Should I be worried? Thanks for your help |
I/ve been disconnecting my battery four 4 years now and was assuming it was normal since mine does it every time. Probably got something to do with the ECU resetting.
|
Yeah, it has done it every-time also. Normal?
|
it does it every time you disconnect the battery. First startup dies.
totally normal. |
That’s normal on the 4 runner on the first start it dies but will start up problem on the 2nd try

Normal. Mine does it as well.

Normal. My 2010 Tacoma did this as well.

It's a Toyota thing. My wife's RAV4 did it when I changed the battery and my Corolla did it too when I had that.
|
Yup. That's expected behavoir. I had it happen on my 2011 and saw in noted in my 2020 owners manual.
I will see if I can find it. |

Thanks to all for clearing that up. Special thanks to itr1275 for the link to the owner's manual. Got that and a PDF copy tucked away for future reference.

Thanks so much for this thread. Just had this happen for the first time on my 2020 ORP after BMC. All is good again!
