    Hi guys,

    I have a 2007 with almost 130k miles on it and this evening I just got the warning message P0A80.

    Car seemed to still drive fine, so I'm wondering can this trigger incorrectly? What should I look at to make sure this isn't a bigger problem? Also can you manually reset the warning message?

    Thanks!
    Ryan

    At that low mileage, Toyota may offer some goodwill assistance on a new battery. Just contact Toyota corporate and explain to them the problem

    There is a outside possibility the battery fan is clogged causing overheat, but in winter here that seems unlikely.

    Keep in mind JC91006 idea to call Toyota USA, but before they help you will need to go to Toyota to get the dead-batt diagnosis
