2009 ve Ute sv6

[Cam Davis]

My sv6 Ute keeps going into power saving mode. I have changed the throttle sensor but it is still doing it. It’s not all the time it’s very random. Any idea what it could be.

Get your battery load tested.

Thank you I will get that tested. But I did get a new battery 18 months ago

Not all batteries are made equal. Battery in my ute was around two years old and was heading south. R & J said battery was a cheapy that came out last week and they don't last. Can't remember the brand as they are relatively new on the market, maybe Power Crank or something? PO had it fitted. Not one I'd heard of. AC Delco are the go.

If you do short trips, 18mths could easily see a battery on the Fritz.
