    everyone. Want to thank you guys for the share of info, and ideas, each time people come on this forum.
    Well, this forum might not be the right channel to present my Camry faults though. But I just kind of figure out, its a hybrid too.

    Camry is 174, 000miles.
    Car had an accident, and the front end of the hood was damaged.
    Radiator, and Ac system condenser was replaced; no impact at the inverter/converter assembly.
    Its being fixed at a body shop.
    I tried starting up the car, with no success. The READY LIGHT wasn't coming on. This makes me believe that the problem is from the HV system. This I mean the safety plug switch, frame wire, inverter assembly, etc.

    Scanned the car, got this: P0A0D-350.

    This is what I intend doing, please correct me, if I'm wrong.

    *check the interlock safety switch, if its properly locked, or the fuse embedded in the switch.
    *check for open circuits at the HV harness to the inverter assembly.

    PS: module block voltage shows 14.....all through.

    Thanks for the help.
    Would post my findings to the house

    I want to thank everyone that has helped here. You guys are great.

    Updates so far:
    Thanks guys for your various responses.
    The car has being fixed.
    I discovered the high voltage battery ECU connector, was corroded. We did a repair of the connectors, by getting a known good connector, and soldering it back to the high voltage battery ECU circuit board.
    Cleared the codes, and car performs perfectly now.

    Thanks everyone.
    Merry Christmas!
