I would pay the diagnostic fee and let them do what they can. If they pull some BS about the 12V battery, ask them how much it is to put in the Toyota battery. If it's more than $150, go get a new one from Interstate or Costco (made by Interstate).
There is very little chance that the Platinum policy will decline to cover it unless you did something in the Exclusions section of the agreement.
I got grief from Carson Toyota that the Bosch battery was too large and the car could not keep it charged and that is the reason the 12v battery was going dead overnight. Just over $200 to pop in the miniature Toyota battery that was dead next morning. No sense in looking at the gateway computer that failed.
If they seem like morons (carson toyota), take it somewhere else.
