    Dr Prius App Question: Does anybody know what the minimum battery temperature is to be able to run the Full Battery Test? I get errors that the temp is too low (77 degrees) and the test aborts. TIA

    (I don't know the answer because it is hotter than 77F here during the day at least 3/4 of the year, and the pack is typically at least 90F, even with very little activity.)

    Drive the car around for a while and the battery temperature should get above 100F, then try it again. If it is really cold out close the windows and maybe turn on the heat.
