    Any Toyota Tech around who can help troubleshoot this? I'm willing to pay for the service. Looking for someone knowledgeable about the HV battery wiring diagram and HV ECU CAN.

    Car won't go into ready mode, only shows ignition on.
    I've checked the fuses, HV battery grip, HV battery junction terminal box, and harnesses, but the error persists.

    If your car is still under warranty, call your dealership.

    Probably not under warranty anymore.

    It is not something you can do. Take it to the dealer.

    Why wouldn't it be under warranty? User profile says 2023 XLE. No 2023 is more than 3 years old(first ones were delivered around Feb/Mar 2023). Plus it's part of the hybrid system, which might be 5yr, 8yr or 10yr.

    Oh, I thought the warranty was two years. Definitely take it to the dealer then. This is a complicated, specialty repair.
