May 2015207000 miUS $80 | Got the red triangle of doom. ECU gave an HV battery code. Checked and one pair (block) was 1V low. Bought used pair for 80 and swapped them in. Edit - After doing a few of these, I'd say it's doable in 6+ hours by yourself, but you definitely need something to help compress the modules in the pack so you can install the bolts on the pack's underside. I use wooden boards of differing widths and a couple wood clamps. If someone is helping you out and they're reasonably handy, you might be able to do this in 3-4 hours. | ||

Jun 2016208000 miUS $100 | Another battery module went sideways, but this time it threw one of the "block XX becomes weak" because the module was weak, but hadn't failed (internal short) yet. I had picked up another 2007 Prius from a friend for $1500, so I PNO'ed this Prius and have been driving that since. I have a few decent modules I purchased off ebay to swap into the pack, but I'm planning to pull it and do some thorough testing and possibly rehydrating to see if that improves the pack's performance. TODO - Pull pack, cycle/measure battery modules, try to rehydrate modules with limited capacity, cycle/test those modules again, reassemble, test how the pack does in the car. |

Mar 201862000 miUS $550 | A/C started blowing hot air then Triangle of Death appeared approx 1-2 hrs later. Dealer said A/C repair was likely due to evaporator core leak that needed to be replaced. However, dealer estimated A/C repair to be $2700 which was more than half of what we paid for 13 yr old vehicle! We declined dealer repair & recharged A/C for $50 - we believe dealer was completely dishonest because they said they had recharged A/C when they replaced inverter water pump but we found A/C caps laying under the hood. Later found on Prius Chat blogs the A/C diagnostic code lights have been known to trigger when inverter pump goes out. |
