Chery TIGGO 8 PRO: No start or slow cranking; check terminals and battery in sequence
Symptoms
- The engine does not crank or cranks slowly, possibly with dim lights. [1]
Possible causes
- The original manual lists terminal contact condition and 12V (low-voltage) battery charge as preliminary checks for this symptom. [1]
Checks
- Following step 1 in the source, check that the 12V (low-voltage) battery terminals are clean and secure. [1]
- After confirming the terminals are normal, follow step 2 to check vehicle light brightness and 12V (low-voltage) battery charge. Have the repairer address the findings according to the actual vehicle requirements. [1]
What to do
- Restore the power supply according to the inspection results. Continue diagnosis if the engine still cannot start; do not decide to replace the battery based on discharge alone. [1]
