    IMG_9971.jpeg IMG_9970.jpeg IMG_9969.jpeg I replaced a 12 V with a Toyota battery last week. The car was shaking like crazy on start up this morning, check engine light is now on. I stopped at AutoZone to run codes. See the pictures for results. I'm wondering if the fact that my 12 V is reading at 14.17 V Caused any issues?

    2011 Gen3, 206,000 I replaced the main hybrid with Toyota battery last year, water pumps and brake pump also replaced in last year with Toyota parts.

    Most likely you have a head gasket needing repair/replacement. Major work...sorry. Battery reading 14.7 is normal and would not cause a problem.
