Good batteries but P080 error

testing. you need mini vci w/ tech stream, and a laptop. then you can test the batteries under load. a worthwhile investment if you're going to diy your car.

 

Just a check on the code you're reporting: DTCs are all five characters. So are you talking about P0080, or P080something, or Psomething080, etc.?

Also, you might find that the PriusChat community can be more helpful with a particular DTC if you first look it up yourself, and include what the DTC means (or at least what the manual says it means) in your post. That way, everybody who reads your post is immediately able to start thinking about your issue. When you post only the code, you are sort of limiting your responses to (a) people who already have that code memorized, and (b) people who have their manuals open and time to look it up before responding.
In a sense, that lets 1 person (you) do the bit of advance effort in looking up what the code means, so that n people (your readers) are able to apply their brainpower to your issue without having to duplicate that bit of effort first.

Another thing worth keeping in mind is that most DTCs can be triggered by some small variety of causes: that is, knowing the DTC narrows down the possible trouble areas, but won't point you straight to the final culprit without a bit more gumshoe work. When you include the code's meaning in your question, you tend to get a larger number of people thinking about it for you, whereas if you post only the code, your responses tend to be from people who have fussed with that code recently, most likely from having recently had a problem that gave the same code, who may tell you a lot about that problem, which may or may not be helpful before you know whether you're getting that code for the same reason they were.

Not to mention it even (sometimes) happens, as you're looking up what the code means so you can post it, you think " ... oh ... " and end up answering your own question.

Hey Mark, do you kind report us how did you finish this story ? I’m pretty much the same situation

 

How did you resolve it? I’m pretty the same situation
