I replaced the hybrid battery in my 2011 Toyota Prius. Is it correct that I need to drive a few miles for the permanent P0A80 error code to clear? Thanks, Gerald
This can be really tricky if you didn't replace it with a brand new battery. That permanent code is a pain to clear on a gen 3 car, unless it's a new battery. Then you just drive it a bit and it clears on it's own
if it's a new battery, you just drive it a little bit. Should be cleared in a couple days. I would give it an entire weeks worth of driving before you go back and complain.
You need to complete the Confirmation Driving Pattern to clear the permanent P0A80 code. Take a look at post #53 in this thread, https://priuschat.com/index.php?posts/3595679
Thanks for the suggestion on towing the car. I really need to know how much oil you are needing to add to this car in between oil changes? Since this car burns a lot of oil due to it’s a weak piston rings, I want to make sure the oil level has gone Too low
From Google AI: Code C2124 on a 2011 Toyota Prius indicates a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) malfunction. Specifically, it means the car's receiver has lost connection with Transmitter ID 4 (the fourth tire pressure sensor). This almost always happens when the internal battery inside the sensor dies after 5–10 years of use, causing it to stop broadcasting. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
