    Hello, I’m new in this forum.
    So I bought 2017 prius PHV JDM that’s imported to Australia. And toyota in here couldn’t fix the car. Because we don’t have plug-in hybrid toyota in australia. It has yellow warning sign.
    And i scanned with obd2 and showing some error codes.

    This is how the yellow warning sign come up,
    i charge the car using ChaDeMo at the charging station (i use the charging station a-lot), it’s always stop at 80% and i have to turn on the car, and the car will ask to plug back in the charger to check if the socket still working, I usually do it, and it’s always works great.
    The charging unit has 2 type of charger, ChaDeMo and CCS, only 1 cable work at a time.
    one day, the car finished charging at 80%, but the Build Your Dream car next to me, use the CCS charger straight away, because the cable only work one at a time, the ChaDeMo plug was offline. And the car read the socket as malfunctions.

    It might be the fuse blown, but i can only find the fuse box under the hood. I can’t find the fuse under the steering wheel and passenger seat. and I’m trying to fix this as i cannot charge the car.

    Can anyone help me help find the other fuses boxes? I tried online but couldn’t find the picture anywhere.
    Or suggestions?
    I really love this car.

    Hopefully you will be able to find an aftermarket / non-dealership plug in vehicle shop to help.

    Try this:

    Push the start button WITHOUT putting your foot on the brake pedal
    Turn it off
    Push the start button WITH your foot on the brake pedal

    See if this changes the screen at all. I'm just guessing here.

    There’s some cable but it doesn’t look like a fuse to me. the battery is still in good condition. Can charge while braking and with chg mode. It’s just the car cannot be charge with level 2 and ChaDeMo. Looks like there’s fuse that blown between BMS and plug-in charge.
    I eventually cleared the code and disconnected the battery for 5 hours and the code came right back up.


    Yes i did try this too. Still error.
