    NO! DO not jump the big battery. Disconnect the negative cable from the small battery. Let sit for a few minutes. Reconnect. If that doesn't work, you may have drained the HV battery, and you will need to tow it to your Toyota dealer.

    Not for nothing, but when my friend in her 2013 ran out of gas, she only put a gallon, it would not start. She towed it to the dealer and they put in 2 more gallons and it started right up :-o

    Should be 10MM, I would use a 10MM deep socket. Remember Negative side first then Positive. On install Positive then Negative.

    Be VERY careful on install to make sure Positive goes to Positive, Negative to Negative leads.

    Yep, takes about 3 gallons to get it to start after running out. Try adding a couple more gallons and see if that does the trick.
