2001 toyota tundra battery drain. If your Toyota Tundras battery is draining its something thatll need addressing right away. Will go dead after 3 or 4 days last time I charged it I noticed a mid-pitch squeal coming from the engine with the keys off and out of the ignition. Ive had the battery and alternator tested multiples times and both always test good.

I brought it to the dealer 3 times to have them look at the problem. My dad had the truck before me and before i bought he said the battery goes dead if you dont drive. Also when you push on accelerator - nothing engines just idles.
4 lo light blinks vsc light blink check engine light on continuously all three of these lights are coming on. ToyotaNation Forum is a community dedicated to all Toyota models. Used cheap harbor freight multi meter and the amp draw w alarm off obviously was 003 to 04 amps if I was reading this right and which I read is normal.
All electrical items seems to function okay. Everything electrical seems to work fine. Mysterious battery drain.
Before I start testing I want some things to start looking for. I cant see any reason for the draindischarge. Cdn tire subdivision and my personal mechanic AND a toyota dealer- we found out that it was an accessory that was draining it an aftermarket alarmremote start system.
