    :cool:Sorry for my english, i'm spanish.
    I built and ELM327, wired to ECU and with bluetooth to my phone.
    Programming and testing, I discovered the SOC.

    The SOC (state of charge) of Hybrid battery in Prius Gen3:

    With ELM327 or similar, you can send
    "07E2 01 5B" and the answer is something similar to
    "7EA 03 41 5B 8A"
    8Ah=138d/2=69% SOC

    With SCANGAUGE:
    07E2015B 0441855B0000 2808 000A00020000
    I don't have scangauge, so i cannot probe this.
    With my ELM327 is fine, and i see how charge an discharge over the time...
    I hope this ussefull for you.

    You can visit Mi Toyota Prius - Tuning Prius 3G and my page Lobato (motoleon)

    Salu2.

    I've a P3 and a Scangauge and tried your numbers today - and it looks good !!! - at least nearly .... I think that the Math - calculation is not completely right - I read in other threads here, that the Prius battery SOC moves between 40 and 80%, and that with 6 bars in the Prius display the battery is in the range of 60% .
    I got up to 65% on the Scangauge with 4 bars and up to 82,5% with 6 bars (didn't got more charge in my battery today).
    So there is an offset missing or ..... ?

    But - congratulations !!! - you found out the SOC !

    Regards to Spain from Germany !

    Very interesting! I'll test it out.

    I do know the SoC never goes over about 81% and that is with insane downhill force charging... usually by 78% the ICE is bleeding off battery power so the math must not be quite right -- but it may just be something easy to adjust.

    SoC doesn't drop below 40% unless you force it by keeping the ICE off in neutral. By 25% the car screams to put the car back into park.

    But at 40% you are at 1 bar. If I remember right at about 70% you are at full charge. Or maybe it's 75% ...

    Ok, just tested in my car against known values .. and the math isn't correct.

    Xgauge --- Actual
    70.0 --- 54.9
    69.5 --- 54.5
    69.0 --- 54.1
    68.5 --- 53.7

    Here is the correct MTH:

    TXD 07E2 015B
    RXF 0441 855B 0000
    RXD 2808

    MTH 03E8 00FF 0000

    On his original reading the SoC is actually 54.1% not 69%.

    Excellent find! All Scangauge owners can now know their actual SoC on their Gen III Prius.

    Here's the updated math for people using the ELM327:

    8Ah = 138d * 100d / 255d = 54.1%

    Already done. There may be other useful data in that PID. I will check it out this weekend.

    Thaks adrianblack.
    I don't have scangauge so i can't probe that, now the math is correct (40%-SOC-80%).
    It is updated in spanish forum.
    There is no other data in that PID. Sorry.

    Thast all.

    Salu2.

    Does anyone know if this is compatible with Camry Hybrid (2007) ?

    And--does anyone know how to program the ELM327 value into the app 'Torque' ?

    Thanks
