Prius (2001-03) :: Replace Main Battery?

I need to replace the main battery on my 2003 prius - whether or not they've replaced the battery, and what the end result was afterwards - did the car continue to last? Is this just a "regular maintenance' thing and all else will work swell, or is the beginning of the end?

Prius (2001-03) :: 2002 - False Main Battery Warning

Got a recall letter last January from Toyota concerning a false warning light on my model. Letter mentioned that moisture in the cables was triggering a false warning message about the main battery. My 2002 was having this problem. The dealer refused to do the work. Told me they did that recall work in 2006 but I did not have the problem back then and Servco Hawaii told me that Toyota had not put that out as a recall back then. The light has gone off and on now for a year. Car drives perfect otherwise and only have 60,000 miles on it. What do I do?

Prius (Gen 1) :: 2011 Getting Triangle And Main Battery Error On MFD / P3030 / P3000

2001 Prius

I was able to pull codes this evening ( no subcodes).

The codes are as follows:

P3000, Battery Control System Malfunction

P3030, Battery Voltage Detective Line Snapped

Will the P3030 cause a P3000 to pop up since it appears I have one of the 19 voltage detect lines corroded or broken?

Once I fix this issue, is there a chance that the P3000 will disappear?

I was just getting the triangle and the Main Battery error on the MFD up until yesterday. Yesterday, the ! with the car came on (Hybrid system) on the MFD. I did not check any codes until today. Car will currently not start at all.

Aux battery voltage is confirmed to be 12.3 volts via the MFD in the diagnostic mode so it's good to go.

No one around has a scan tool that will also pull the subcodes.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2005 Won't Start After Replacing Bad Cell In Main Battery Pack

I have two Prius's, a 2008 and a 2005. My 2005 with 129k miles on it is the one in question. Recently I got a check engine light with the code P0A80 and P3016. I purchased a pair of tested to be good cells from Ebay which finally arrived in the mail yesterday. Today I finally got around to installing it and everything was pretty self explanatory... One of 28 cells tested to have 6.24v in block six and all the others had between 7.98-8.00v all around. I went ahead and replaced the bad cell with the new one and put everything back together and now the car will not start.

Cliff notes: Replaced bad cell in main battery back due to CEL P0A80 and P3016.

Car will not start, only turns on...

Getting error message on the radio screen about the Park position is not correct and to park the car on a flat level ground with parking brakes and try again.

Have charged the 12v battery to make sure it has enough juice in it.

Prius (Gen 1) :: Codes P3006 And P3000 Displaying And Indicating Faults In Main Battery

I have a 2001 Prius with about 110K which I have owned since new. It displayed the hybrid warning light (as well as check engine) 2 weeks ago and I took the car in to the local dealer.. After a little muddling around they came up with codes indicating that the computer for the battery was going. I purchased that Part Number: 8989047030 Part Description: electrical, battery, computer H.V. SUPPLY. and the dealer installed that part a couple of days ago.

Now the following codes (and only these codes according to the dealer) are displaying and indicating faults in the main battery: P3006 and P3000.

Prius (2001-03) :: Dreaded Code P3009 - Electrical Leak From Main Battery

A warning came on the display with the words "PS Main" and a picture of a battery. I took it to a dealer and he gave me the bad news: I allegedly need a new hybrid (main) battery. The diagnostic code was P3009--I didn't know about sub-codes, so I didn't ask if there were any. P3009 means that there is an electrical leak from the main battery.

Prius (2001-03) :: 2002 Died With The Main Battery Light And Triangle Of Death On

I bought my 2002 prius with 120000 miles. Last night it died with the main battery light and triangle of death on. I haven't taken it to a dealer to have the codes checked out you, but will do it soon. My daughter was driving it when it happened and said the car started shuttering and died. She was able to drive it a few feet at a time before it would die again. Does this sound like a HV battery problem? I will be digging into it tonight.

Prius (2004-09) :: Neither MFD Nor The Main Dash Display Turn On

2008 Generation II driver with about 66K miles.

Yesterday when I got in the car to do errands the car turned on but neither the MFD nor the main dash display turned on. I was able to get a little bit out of the MFD when I would push the display button, but it would fade and then go off. The main display was completely blank (no speedo, lights, other indicators, nothing), although it would show the turn indicators when I signaled.

When I got where I was going I couldn't turn the car off by pushing the power button, and I couldn't get the trunk open to get the garbage out.

Prius (2004-09) :: Code P1121 After Main Water Pump Replaced

On my 05 Prius (65K miles) I recently had my local Toyota dealer replace both the inverter water pump (for free per recall) and main engine water pump (~$500 based on their recommendation because of some coolant leakage). 1 week later, I got the P1121 code coming off and on intermittently.

My dealer says that the work they did is not related to P1121.

Prius (2004-09) :: Main Water Pump Leaking / Oil In Spark Plug

I have a small problem, the dealer that serviced my car just told me that my water pump was leaking and I was low on coolant. I can't remember when was the last time I checked the coolant level but when the dealer top off the coolant, he nearly used the entire bottle. Needless to say, I believe the radiator was pretty low on coolant.

Now I've never noticed a high temperature warning lamp or ever broken down. Today at 125,000 miles, I went to change my spark plugs. The 1st plug to the far left as you are facing the car has oil in the spark plug. This is freaking me out, could my engine be damaged from the low coolant?

Prius (2004-09) :: Main Warning / Yellow Exclamation Light And Limp Mode

My wife and I are driving our 2005 Prius with 130k miles and have experienced some weirdness with the car while driving. We've got the master warning light (red triangle w/ !), and another yellow (!) warning light, plus the center display shows a red car with an !. I've gathered that it means something possibly with the brake controller, so when I parked I put the e-brake on.

The car was driving fine with these lights on (we were in the middle of Canadian highways and couldn't stop anywhere) except that cruise control would not work.

Eventually, it actually went into limp mode, where we would floor the pedal and the car would barely accelerate. Pulled over, turned it off for a few minutes, then back on and it drove fine, warning lights still on.

I just replaced the driver's front wheel hub, and I can hear the passenger front going bad, so I'm suspicious that this may be related. Just replaced the 12v within the last few months with an Optima.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Reversed The Polarity And Fried The Main Fuse Block?

After returning from vacation, I found that one door of my 2007 Prius was left open while we were gone. I tried jumping the car. Long story short, I accidentally reversed the polarity and fried the main fuse block. I just replaced the fuse this last weekend and it's been running fine.

Until today

I drove to work and everything was fine. Then at lunch I got in the card and started it up. The red triangle came on with the exclamation point. Also the VSC light and the orange exclamation point in the Circle with the ( ) around it.
