Prius did not start

Michael Wurzinger · 03-22-2008, 01:35 PM

Hi!

I pulled out the serviceplug (model 2008) to get acess to the HV-Battery for measering purposes. Unfortunately the car noticed this and now the Hybrid System is not starting. It shows the red "!" in the triangel. Must i delete some error codes in the memory or is there a easier way to reset the system.
(prepearing for PHEV conversion)

Thank you in advance for your answer, its urgent!

I assume you tried starting multiple times? Some error codes require a few reboots to clear. I also assume you correctly reinstalled the service plug.

Thank you very much for your answer!
I tryed starting the hybrid system about three times.

Turning the car on/off three or more times is what he means by rebooting the system.

~~~~~~
Since he's asking about a reboot and ODB2 tool I'd assume the problem has not gone away.

The thanks was for the quick anser!
I tryed exact 4 times .. no change in the behavior.
I can switch to neutral but not to "d"
the red "!" with the triangle lights near the speed-meeter display and a red car with a "!" lights up on the lcd screen.

ok
did you check if the HV plug is really put back in correctly
it needs to click or something

Michael Wurzinger · 03-22-2008, 03:07 PM

i pluged it back in and slided the handle up .. its realy fixed in place.
the system was off when i worked with te plug.
is this the normal behavior,that the error sign lights up whem the hv plug is removed?

Michael Wurzinger · 03-22-2008, 03:39 PM

was removed! (not is)

isn't the 12v supposed to be disconnected before you take off the hv battery?

i remember hearing a situation like this before and it ended up costing the owner.

i would check over everything a few more times.
