Gents,

problem solved.the culprit was the IBS Cable.the diognose showed 'battery sensor' fault.took thee chances n changed it.the current was not leaking while the car in sleep mode but the sensor on the ibs cable kaput.so the power restriction kicked in via power management. The ibs cable cost 1k + n not including the proffessional trouble shooting.anyhow, can sleep peacefully tonite.Tq guys

Boss, if you buy the IBS cable from Bavarian Auto it's only RM830. There's a supplement cable which you opt to buy or not (depending on your condition) and that's extra RM90. Fixing the cable is very straight forward, just hook up an external battery to the chassis (front) and remove the negative cable then change to the new cable.

Yeah bro.i know buying it direct from will be cheaper.but didnt know its this cheap.furthermore i was at naidu shop for two days troubleshooting.basically i was tired n just wanted to solve it.glad that it was solved with just the ibs cable n didnt lead to other problems. Ex: power leak and etc

No problem bro and I try to share what I can If yours is an older model then the IBS cable is different because they have made several revisions over the years. The recent ones are all concealed as one of the reason why IBS always fail is due to the small vent near the battery which causes air/moist to get in thus damaging the sensor. Even so, the latest revision IBS cable is not perfect because mine is the latest ones but still needs to be replaced.

Bro.tq for sharing.so much for a smal cable is just too much.my mechanic told me to seal off the smal ventilation.not sure if this act with create other problem.sorry to hear on ur cable.better to change it before it leads to other problem.tq
