Hey folks Im new around here but I just got my second Prius. My first was an 07, then I got a lexus HS that i still have and just today bought a 2010 Prius 5 with Advanced tech package for $5700. When I got home from the transaction i was playing with the computer and noticed the trip computers we both reset. That made me a bit curious so i dug out my obd2 scanner and saw that i have codes P0A80 and C1241. I did some digging around the interwebs and didnt find anything that would make those 2 related. Can they be? Is it a charging issue with the alternator or 12v battery or am I just in denial about buying a prius that needs a new hybrid battery? Thanks in advance!
Welcome to Prius Chat . Some questions: How many miles on your Prius? What did you use to read te codes? Did you pull any sub codes from the P0A80? How did the car run once the dash lights appeared? Good luck and keep us posted .
$5700 for a 2010 V with tech package, wow that's cheap. So I would just put in a new battery for $2000 and call it a day. Out the door for $7700. You will then have trouble free driving for 8+ years (fingers crossed).
So the interesting thing is that nothing is showing on the dash. It runs and drives fine. I have a Lemur BlueDriver scanner. I cleared the codes and re scanned and it only threw the P0A80 code. . 183k Drove around all afternoon and nothing came up. Battery seemed to charge fine and didnt drain when I floored it.
Update: Went to the dealer to get an oil change and asked. The advisor said that if there are no warnings on the dash its all good. Can I trust that?
