First, there is no doubt that your car has a high voltage leak. That is the one and only thing a P0AA6 code means. One way to pinpoint the leak...
The list price for a new Gen 2 battery is now $1950. Independent repair garages can get a wholesale discount in the $1625 range. It is difficult...
The P0AA6 code denotes a high voltage leak. Normally the high voltage system is isolated from the rest of the car. When such a leak is detected...
Then you should be well aware of the common problems associated with cars that have sat for extended periods. The car is going to need a new...
I'm going to sound like a real battery anode here. o_O Checking a fuse and a multi meter are a very basic electrical concept and tool. The...
You want to look at the data while doing a forced charge, not after. A forced charge is just half the test. Run a forced discharge also. Add...
The first two digits are the day of the month. The third digit is the month. X,Y,and Z are used for Oct, Nov, and Dec. The fourth digit is the...
Wow! I started a lively discussion. Both myself and Eric did comment that the diagnosis of a failed HV battery could be easily rechecked with a...
The P0A80 file contains the smoking gun. Battery block 12 contains the failed module and cell. This reading could be easily rechecked with a Prius...
Hi Samantha, Try disconnecting the 12 volt battery for at least 30 seconds. When reconnected I suspect your car will start just one time again....
+1 Just as one cell HAS to be the runt of a module, one module HAS to be the runt of the pack. In an ideal battery the difference between the...
I couldn't disagree more. The OP has a 12 year old car with 260K miles. With a car like that repairs are just buying time. The key is to put in...
+1 Go get a new 12 volt battery now.
The only system for cooling the HV battery is the fan. The inverter has nothing to do with cooling the battery. Brad
The HV battery fan runs on high when the battery is too hot. There really is nothing else that will cause the fan to run on high. Brad
One more safety note for those that follow. As discussed here the inverter side of the relays should be dead unless the car is in Ready Mode....
Yes, Of course there is something that won't allow the power to pass without a properly charged 12 volt battery. Thing one and thing two are the...
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the 12 volt battery. That will clear most codes, even the ones that your reader can't see. If it goes ready and...
You have obviously put a lot of thought into this. Every answer just raises more questions. So how are you going to protect your 58S pack from...
I have measured the voltage range of a Prius pack using a forced discharge and charge. The low was 195 volts and the high was 265 volts. Can...
