    Just joining in, stopping in to say hello and looking forward to helpful information. I'm new to Prius, but not cars in general. Building a 55 ford truck so general maintenance I'm not scared of. The hybrid/battery stuff i am!!! Jk

    Nice to meet you all.

    EDIT:
    I forgot to add, i bought a 2010 Prius 5, with 120,000 miles. It's white. Gonna try and get license plate "WHTWLKR" Came from a 2000 Ford Excursion lol

    Since you are going there, this one was done (& later sold, IIRC) by a PC user here.

    Welcome to Prius Chat (y).

    How did make the initial repair? Did you charge up after the replacement? What are the other modules reading?

    Typically once the pack is broken and one repair is made, it is just a matter of time until the next repair comes:(.

    Keep us posted (y).

    Is the same module bad? Is it another module? What balancing of the pack did you do once the new module was put in place?

    The triangle does not always mean you have a battery issue.

    Best to read the codes to find your problem before messing with the battery

    There is an epilogue PDFs on their site listing some lessons learned after the wreck (with a picture).
    They were fortunate to survive since the side airbags had been removed. There are other things they would change too if they did it again.
