Welcome back to @AutoScholarwithMrB ! Today we are looking at my new car, a 2013 Lexus CT200h. The drivetrain and what we will be discussing today are identical to the 2010-2015 Toyota Prius. I will be posting more content of this car as well so please subscribe for more content!
Many people are afraid of these vehicles due to the high voltage they produce, but there is no need to worry. I show you in this video how to check vital fluids and disable the high voltage system so you can complete repairs.
Thanks for watching! Leave your comments and questions below and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner.

Hi from Australia. I have run a Gen 2,Gen 3 and a Gen 4 Prius also a Honda CRZ over the last twenty years. None have had any issues beyond normal servicing, all have been very reliable. Only replaced one 12 volt battery and one full set of tyres. Have owned the current Gen 4 Prius for six years. Everything still works, mechanically and electronically so hanging onto it for another couple of years at least. Getting over 50 mpg(us) urban and 54-56 highway. Most reliable car and plenty of acceleration from a rolling start. Going back to a hybrid after having a Civic Type R, Mazda MX30 and a new Mazda 3. Still keeping the Prius. Cheers.

So the 200hnis EXACTLY same as prius line? Interchangeable parts and all? I had a gen 3 prius 1 owner and sold it. Bit hesitant with hybrids but these lexus are neat and a bit premium feel over a prius. Kind of want another.

Hi All the lights on the dashboard come on and it won't turn on, it says hybrid error. I open the hood of the car and the fuse box and disconnect the white cable that looks like a mains pipe and wait a few minutes and everything works again. What could be is what I should do. It has that small battery, is it worth putting in a bigger 60 amore?

😀I got the same make, model, year, and color 👍. Owned it for 7.5 years now.. BEST investment in a car I've made YET😉. ONLY recently the CHECK ENGINE light came on, which is a testament to the reliability of this car. I really don't ever want another type of car AGAIN 👎. TOO BAD Lexus stopped production of them about 5 years ago, but I'll certainly be looking into a more recent model in the near future✌️. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance, you'll have the best car experience! I'm so attached to my car 😆

I changed battery in my alarm system and recharged 12 battery from different car. Dashboard is showing "Error of hybrid system" write now. Do you know that happened from my car, maybe?

With that low of miles I would get the hybrid battery checked. You can get a Bluetooth adapter and the Dr. Prius app to do this on your own for less than $50.

Isn't there a cooling fan that needs to regularly cleaned to ensure the drive battery does not get too hot ? I believe ther is one in a Prius which if neglected causes the battery to get too hot andgreatly reduces it's life.
