Electric issue

Question if anyone has any suggestions..I have a 2006 Prius I bought fairly recently in cosmetically nice condition for cheap but now owning it there seems to be some electrical issues, first thing fixed was the control cluster in the dash so I would have dash lights and speedometer etc.. now there is a janky wire on the sense lead (I think from the previous owner over resetting it pulling the battery wires over and over. Fixed that with a new used one from the junk yard now after a while usually when hitting breaks all of the warning lights pop on, triangle, exclamation point, and check engine. Any thoughts if things are smooth with out pot holes hybrid battery seems good. But I’m wondering if the bad wires may have taken out the hybrid battery??? Also could the brake controller also have been fried from the loose wire surges.. anyway thoughts? I thought maybe this could be a culprit too as sometimes when start up the warning lights trigger then starts acting normal and it seems there is a charge that goes down the line and seemingly initials the brake controller and fan.Thanks so much everyone.

 

Yes, thank you for the welcome and the help. Very happy to be here!

it’s throwing (on generic odb 2) p 3017 a lot and it once threw a c0700 code. Sometimes it works fine and while driving the engine revs and the battery stops charging as seen on the display. I stop the car power down for a few seconds and restarts again and everything looks good and does it again 30 mins later. I’m thinking that one of the batteries is bad but in my experience with other vehicles it seems like a short .Thank you for any suggestions!

btw hybrid battery is 3years old.

 

I bought it with it in, it is an orange Dorman battery. From the paperwork looks like the previous owner spent 2k on it exactly 3 years ago.

 

Well I’m technically in Crestline Ca, about an hour East. Near arrowhead, always say la cause I just moved east a year ago. and work etc in la. any help would be appreciated.

many suggestions on new batteries? Thoughts on green bean??? Up for any suggestions.

thank you all so much

 

I have just using a cheaper regular odb2 but I’ll def take your advice for more hybrid focused readers you sent links for.

so far the main regular Dtc code that is consistently logged is the p3017. there are not any brake issues and all and all the car drives great except for the battery issue. I’ve worked on a lot of vehicles and not against some work on my own if it makes sense.

Btw I think the messed up wires in the back ignored by the previous owner probably helped take out the battery so to speak. I have since replaced the wiring to the 12 volt battery and replaced the brake power module back there as well. Also replaced the fans relay and cleaned it as well. All these things seemed to help the car overall with the exception the hybrid battery inconsistent charge and p0317 code.

I live in a small mountain village so have only been driving around ten minutes or so by my house until I can get this issue isolated and fixed or obviously replaced.

Thank you for all the great suggestions, you guys are super helpful!!!
