I need help. I have a 2008 toyota prius. I am in the army and recently came back from deployment. Upon returning my prius had no power. Inserted key and nothing woukd happen afyer pressing the power button. I replaced the 12 volt battery and was able to get power. After getting power the vehicle would still not crank. Tha dash has every light on it including the triangle of death. I hooked up my code reader and these are the codes that POP. C1259,c1310,c1377,P0AFA,p300,93004. I have tested every fuse and relay in the engine compartment and they all tested good. I tested all the fuses above the parking break pedal and they tested good. Did not test the relays in that spot yet. I also was able to pull the voltage on the cells in the hybrid battery. Cell 1 and cell 2 are both reading 0.1 volts, and the rest are at 13 to 14 volts. I can also hear a relay in the back open and close every time I hit the start button. I have a warranty on the hybrid battery through greenbean, they are saying that based off the codes the vehicle should still start. Any help?
Too funny The P0AFA means the battery voltage is too low to start the car. Don't tell them you left the car sitting if you decide to make a warranty claim, as that will invalidate your warranty. The last two codes you put, p300, 93004, are not valid Gen 2 codes. Maybe you've made a typo.
They are lying to you. Block 1 and Block 2 at 0.1v points to either those modules completely discharging through the sensor wiring due to corrosion at the ECU pins, or the wiring/ecu pin corrosion is preventing accurate voltage readings. A 13volt reading is 100% unsatisfactory. A 14ish volt reading MAY be ok but it depends if a high 14 or low 14. Each block is actually (2) modules in series with each block considered being a nominal 7.2 volts. When healthy and charge decently, each module will be at least 7.6 volts, therefore each block should show around 15.2 volts or better. Anything 14.4 or less is effectively discharged. They KNOW used modules are very susceptible to self discharge problems, so part of their warranty specifies the warranty is void if the car sits unused for 30 days (iirc) or more.
this is why i warn people off reconditioned batteries, they are only as good as the company standing behind them.
