"Check Hybrid System" message w/ a good Ready/Start Light

Light should not be on.
Clear it with code reader or techstream.
Or disconnect 12v battery.

If it remains, then the issue is not resolved.

 

And Falcon is bluffing, I think: they should know.

 

Interesting note from Hawaii. I found a local shop, Masaki’s Auto Repair, that will recondition YOUR battery.
$760 for diagnostic, $2400-$2500 one cell replacement (2 modules $125/module), completed with 4-5 load/discharge to test battery (one week process). Seems like a lot.
Maybe that would have been better than my Falcon Hybrid solution...but the new cells sound like the way to go.
Painful lessons....

 

Thank you -- I have disconnected the 12v and the light starts off, then comes right back. Scan with ENGINE LINK shows only "History"

I will try again, otherwise continue to monitor

 

With engine link can you set it up to see each of the voltage 14 blocks of the Hybrid Battery?
I'd love to see a screen shot.

 

I realize I missed block 9. Kind of cumbersome to setup the screens in ENGINE LINK, but it seems to have a lot of potential (I wish there were templates).
I started paying most attention to Vmax - Vmin
Not sure why SOC is blank
Error code screen shows what I have right now -- after install -- still with CHS + ToD

 

For reference, here is a screenshot before battery replacement...warning lights galore
ENGINE LINK lets you download the data (pretty cool), so I included one .txt file for reference while the car was acting up/battery pack dying.

 

Looks like a good app.
I'd like ask a couple more questions in this thread about this setup.
Did it come preloaded with the Prius hv battery voltage options? Or did you have to manually load them?

Can you share which adapter you are using? I assume it is a wifi one?

 

It does not come preloaded, but it is easy following instructions at :
WIKI for K Solution Outdoor Apps
This does a good job explaining how to use iTunes to load the PID for the Prius.

Pretty good YouTube on the app:

I use a Carista adapter (bluetooth) since I already had it, but there others that the company suggest will work. The Carista app is ok, but I would never buy it in place of Engine Link -- need to be able to see all the hybrid battery details.

 

Hmmm. Not sure it is simple enough for many non tech savvy folks.
May be easier for them to spend $15 or $20 to get an Android device since all the Prius PIDS come preloaded on the Android Torque Pro app.

 

Maybe.
I think the instructions are straight forward. The file transfer in iTunes is a normal task for the software (although I rarely plug into my Mac anymore).
I have heard great stuff about Torque.



iPhone ?
