2005 Toyota Prius, lots of error codes just came up, Kingston NY

I would buy a new battery directly from Toyota. Congratulations on the new car! I have the opposite problem. My 2005 runs like a dream with 332,000 miles and the original hybrid battery but the heavy salt use up here by the Canadian border is turning my Prius into a rust bucket.

 

But can you DIY? Are you comfortable working on/tinkering on cars you drove in the past?

If yes, then you can undertake the repairs needed to get the car up and running, if you feel this is the right decision for you.

Kudos to you for listing the codes from a scanner that can read Prius codes!!!!!!

You are looking at possibly two costly repairs, relatively speaking.

1) The HV Battery pack needs to be replaced. Buying replacement modules or a used/reconditioned/remanufactured/rebuilt HV Battery will only prolong the mistery of repeated failures and having an unreliable car. A new HV Battery form a Toyota dealer who sells on like ranges from $1800-$2500; you need to find such a dealer near you, and who will sell to you. You can always see if local dealers will match the online dealer prices. $1803.16 from Camelback Toyota (Phoenix, AZ); 2005 Toyota Prius Parts - Camelback Toyota Parts - Genuine OEM Parts - Free Shipping Put the price in perspective by amortizing the cost over its likely life expectancy. The original HV Battery is warranted for 8/10years by design; most people seem to get that, meaning Toytoa has few warranty replacements they are liable for. A rare few seem to get far longer. $1803.16/10 years = $180.32/year = $15.03/month

P0A80 replace hybrid battery pack
P3018 Battery block 8 becomes weak

2) You might have to replace the hydraulic brake booster. Reference the trouble shooting diagnostic tree for this code. Some people have installed a used donor part from a junk yard (LKQ salvage yards) or salvage part sellers (http://www.LKQonline.com).

The 12V battery could use a recharge. Use a smart AGM compatible charger.

If you have to pay for labor, think long and hard. It probably is not worth it.

 

P0A80 and p3018 are the ones that matter.

Your hybrid battery is dead.

Sorry, don't know anyone in your area.

Stick with a NEW (not USED) battery.

Will likely list between $2600- $3500.
Lower price is if you can find an independent shop who will install it for you.

No matter what a NEW battery will always outlast a USED one. Don't get suckered into buying a USED one if you can get NEW at a price you can afford.

You have a low mileage car and a new battery will likely last as long as the original one if not longer.
