The prius won't start. Only error code is P0A0D We checked continuity on the service plug, the interlock harness and to the plug from the car to the interlock, all has continuity So the only thing I can think of is that the wiring harness going to the ECU might be cut somewhere inside the car Here is my question. Has anyone jumped out the interlock pins at the ECU and which 2 pins are they?
The interlock circuit is a very simple series circuit that passes from an ECU pin, through cover interlock contacts in the inverter, back to the rear of the car, through the interlock contacts of the battery service plug, and to body ground. It is simple enough that finding the actual problem and fixing it ought to be a matter of minutes. I would consider defeating it by jumping at the ECU only as a very, very last resort.
Does the car look like wires would be cut inside of it or otherwise be fubar . This is really a stretch . A Google question will bring you up a wiring diagram of the Interlock system I do believe on the Prius from the inverter to safety plug etc . Is the fuse good in the safety plug? Like chap said it's a pretty basic system
