You need to have your battery load tested. Clean your battery terminals and apply some corrosion inhibitor. Make sure all your terminals are tight. Beyond that you will need to start tracing the power connections elsewhere for things like bad connections or grounds and connections at the alternator. An alternator can still be bad if the rectifier/regulator start breaking down once they get hot.

Check for a loose battery cable. Carefully tighten both bolts for the positive and negative terminals. Do not accidentally short the terminals!

SOURCE: After replacing battery in 2002 Toyota Sequoia,

The radio uses a constant power to retain memory(stations,settings,ect.) and switched power to run on. It sounds like there is a problem with the constant power connection. You can first check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace any that are found. Also look around the battery for any wires with an inline fuse that could be broken. Try looking under the dash near the radio for any inline fuse holders that could have a blown fuse. You might need to pull the radio and start tracing the constant 12v power wire. First verify that it does have power and if it does then the radio may have been damaged from a voltage spike when the new battery was installed. If the wire does not have power then you will need to start tracing the wire back to the source of the short. It sounds to me like a blown fuse somewhere....

2002 Toyota Highlander Battery light on

It could be the alternator not charging properly. Even though you're not having trouble starting the car, the alternator could be putting out just enough to handle charging the battery. But eventually it will go out. The battery light can mean either the battery is not charging correct from the alternator, or it's time to test the battery, which I think is good from your entry.

Battery Discharge

The alternator is okay but is short circuiting on the battery.

trouble shoot by using a friend's battery and you will experience the same thing.

This simply means the alternator has dropped its charging power.

Replace the alternator.

Dont forget to rate this.
