I recieved a gen 2 Prius in the shop with the dreaded triangle and P0A80 after removing the HV battery and checking all the cells and block voltages all where matching charged and discharged I decided to throw the battery back in the car after driving 20min with no code I returned to the shop on the way I hit a pothole and it reset the same code. Upon further inspection none related to the HV battery I found that the drivers wheel bearing was wore slap out and the vibration of hitting a bump or a sharp hard turn set the code due to the CV transmission recieving a good jolt due to the axle vibration also pulled code P0A7A generator inverter fail ......... new wheel bearing problem solved.......... this was just a write up to help others who may be experiencing some of the out of ordinary while working on the gen2 Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.

So I’m gonna guess that’s yes then? You sound like a Prius champion, the little guy that helps out the regular people that can’t afford the dealers high priced repairs. Kudos to you sir. I hope you have most success helping Prius owners in need.
