Need assistance on where to go from here

Hi everyone,

So a week ago while driving my car started briefly hesitating after I would accelerate sporadically. I stopped my car and turned it back on everything was fine. Drove to work fine but then the problem resumed on the way home. 2 days later I went to drive the car again and a multitude of lights turned on including the check engine and red triangle of death. Tried to read the codes with a basic scanner but didn’t get anything so I had it towed to a shop to get evaluated. They said they weren’t sure but thought maybe the battery but they didn’t deal with hybrids much and to take it to a dealer but it drove fine for them. I drove it to a buddies just fine and tried to run Dr. Prius on it which didn’t work because apparently my car isn’t supported. So then I went to drive it home however the car had a very limited acceleration taking upwards of 30 seconds to reach 50 mph. I was watching the power transfer display or whatever the name of that is and there was 0 communication or power transfer between the “electric motor” and the rest of the car unlike normal. There was obviously also no communication to or from the hybrid battery. So I decided to take it to a dealership to get a more thorough evaluation and on the way there the car drove great with the very occasional hesitation after accelerating and now the hybrid battery fan was blowing very hard. The dealership evaluated it and said they wanted to fully replace the battery, hybrid computer and some relays for the great price of $4800. Since the car itself was $5200 I declined. I’ve attached some photos of the codes they pulled and was wondering if you guys agreed with their conclusion. It seemed to me the problem lies somewhere outside of the battery mainly due to the lack of communication between the hybrid system and the normal engine. I have been still getting normal fuel efficiency also with no dips since buying the car. They did pull the p3000, p3016 and p0A80 codes with a failing block 6. So obviously there is a battery issue but I’m not showing signs of a failing battery in the fuel efficiency. I’m attaching a sheet of the codes they pulled. If anyone has some insight I would love the advice. Thank you guys.

Just some background information that is probably not useful. I bought my Prius 1.5 years ago at 185k miles with no problems or codes. Now I’m at 207k miles.

 

Apologies I thought since when signing up for an account and it asks what model Prius I have that information would be displayed. Correct it’s a gen2 2008.

 

Gotchya, I appreciate the response. I wasn’t totally sure if the dealership was just trying to upsell me to fix the most and also make the most or if it was accurate. Me and my buddy are competent enough and have the materials to fix most issues on vehicles if guided. We were contemplating just doing the battery to whatever needed ourselves.
