Toyota Prius in California, United States Nov 2016 - Nov 2017 | |||
Jul 2016197000 miUS $40 | I bought this car from a friend for $1500 sight unseen. They towed it to my place and after hooking up my OBD II adapter I confirmed the car had a P0A80, whic is a shorted out battery module in my experience (2 times), but it could be other things too. I pulled the pack, replaced the weak module, buttoned everything up, washed/vacuumed the car, and started to drive it. | ||
Oct 2016198000 mi | The dealer install alarm on this car was super flaky. It would turn on when I opened the passenger door with the smart key, and in general was annoying. Anyhow, long story short, it took me all of half an hour to pull the alarm. All I had to do was pull the driver's side vent/under dash covers, and disconnect the alarm. It's now sitting in a box in my garage and the factory alarm/smart key system works great. Feel free to message me if you want more details. | ||
Feb 2017201000 miUS $40 | I had another module start to go, but this time it was with the "block XX becomes weak" CEL. I believe I had noticed this block was, in terms of voltage, high when charging and low when discharging, so I suspected one of the modules was on it's way out, but it still lasted a half year or so. As of December 2017, I believe another module i(or two) s starting to go as well. This manifests itself as the pack appearing completely full more often than in the past, especially after a decent hill, and also periodically dropping down to 1-2 bars after it's completely "full". This happens because the module or modules with the flaky cells will increase or decrease voltage faster than the other cells (they have relatively little capacity to store energy left), which makes the pack voltage appear higher or lower than it actually is and the battery displays as full or near-empty more often. |

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. |
