Problem overview

Some Toyota Venza owners report experiencing starting issues accompanied by an ABS brake warning on the dashboard. Common causes include a dead battery, which may prevent the car from starting if it is old or unable to hold a charge. Additionally, problems with the alternator can lead to insufficient battery power, as the alternator is responsible for charging the battery while the engine runs. A faulty starter may also be to blame, especially if a clicking noise is heard when attempting to start the vehicle. Furthermore, the ABS brake issue could indicate a separate malfunction within the braking system, such as problems with the ABS module or sensors, which may affect starting. Lastly, any faults in the electrical system, like blown fuses or wiring issues, can disrupt the vehicle's starting operation. Owners are advised to check these components and seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership service center if troubleshooting does not resolve the issue.
