Your channel is so underated

I found this channel 8 months ago and I bought my reader. Never got around it and I was desperately looking for this video. Thank god I found it.. honestly the best video for ALL PRIUS OWNERS! thank you. Changed my prius for my dads… they never had a fan filter the person I purchased it from. The battery gets so hot that it only Prius on gas during stop lights in the summer!! Now this app will save me the trouble.

Fabulous! thanks much.. just beginning to delve more into my Gen 2 Prius ('06, 142K) that I've owned since 08.... Cheers!

I think this video is great, and I subscribed. I downloaded the hybrid assistant app as well. SWEET!

This is very helpful. Thanks much for the video. I was thinking of getting a corolla cross hybrid here in the Philippines and the temperature here goes up to 40C or 105F (most of the time)

Thanks I have a 2015 Prius and live in Georgia so now I can keep my eye on the temp of the battery.Thanks hope to see more tips.

terrific video! Thanks

As soon as I get my battery fan checked tomorrow, as it is working but there is no power coming in from the plug. I will download this awesome app. Thanks

what great info, you got a new sub, im looking at prius now

Great stuff sir!!What about having a make shift ac duct that goes to your inlet for the cooling fan? How would that go for rocking cooler Temps on the battery?

Thank you, you explain it very well, I'm going to subscribe

perfect video. Is there some alternative to set battery fan without having OBD adapter in socket and mobile phone with running Battery assistant app?

Great video. I have a prius C. If the heat rises too high, can it permanently ruin the battery? Or would the system limit the use of the hybrid engin and thus forcing more use of the gas engine? Another question, I have noticed that when I shut off the car, the battery chart is at 70% but sometines when I go in the next day, the battery chart is down to 1 or 2 bars. Does the hybrid battery somehow lose it's charge over night? Can a hot night cause the battery to lose it's charge? When you say killer of battery in the video? Are you refering to short term efficiency? or Permanent? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much. Once you change hybrid battery fan setting, does it save in car ECU or computer? Do you need phone app to apply setting each time?

Great video sir love and respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰 plz make full review of this App

Very informative! Thank you. Does all this apply to the Prius plug-in with its lithium ion battery as well? I have a used 2012 with 115k, one previous owner, Toyota maintained and want to do everything to get it to 250k. I am In Austin and am worried about the heat.

would adding window vents help to keep temp down on hot summer days to reduce interior temp by dropping window down 3/8 of an inch say

Great advice! I gave 👍 & subscribed. I am concerned in engine coolant temp ALSO. does that app monitor also? If ppl see engine is overheating, dont have to wait until last minute to diagnose (water pimp, head gasket, etc). I'm an ole fart. Do u leave OBII plugged in, or does ur android automatically pick it up after u program?

Excellent video.

Hello, thank you so much for this info. It was the first very hot summer day and I drove my Toyota hybrid (Nimh) with AC off. After a while I noticed the ic-engine wouldn't turn off and electric driving was not possible. After parking in the shade with AC blasting and cooling down the cabin, the car would drive again in EV mode. (Till it heated up again, because AC was off again). I was figuring already it had something to do with the battery temps and some sort of safety program kicking in to preserve the battery health. Did I damage the battery? Or did the system do its thing to play it safe? According to your paper up to the 2 minute mark in the video, what would you say what temps was the battery seeing? Was the system already imposing a discharge limit? (Fuel consumption was getting worse). After this experience I'll use the AC, but only because of the battery. No other reason.

Any idea what t temp Toyota kicks he fan on at? My fan only works correctly when I use this app. Fan does not come on at all without the app. Any thoughts as to why? 2007 Prius… thanks

My battery fan speed staying 1 and 2 does it have faulty fan or something else? Thanks for this informative video

How do you check the battery temp in a 2017 Camry Hybrid XLE? What App are u using?

So the only way to have the settings working is with the app connected to the car??? What happen when the app is not conected? Does tje car has it own settings to manage temperature?

I have a 2005 Prius. Diagnosis was done at the dealership it says my fan is off, then block 1,2,3 becomes weak Now my battery goes down to 2 pink bars, doesnt want to accelarate and the car doesn't want to turn off. At this point do i need to change HV battery pack? I have never change the battery since i got the car in 2010. I am having problems finding someone who can take care of my car.

It seems NiMH batteries like 80 degrees F environment for 'storage' I am considering a solar panel and an EcoFlow Wave 2 heat pump w/ battery to keep the cabin temperature at 'room temperature' summer & winter

I live in Arizona its hot is it better to use your A/C to keep the car cool inside or is it ok to roll the windows down?

Thanks for making this video. Out of curiosity, where do you pick up all the info you learned about this app and hybrid batteries/priuses (the app seems to have relatively decent documentation, but it doesn't seem to go into much detail about applying everything on the screen to optimize for performance and reliability, which I'm more interested in)?

I have Prius 3rd gen with 250k miles but recently my hybrid battery is charging more frequently up 100% instead of 85. Is it something to worry about?

On dr prius temp three shiws around 115 degree i drive car for uber what side is temp three and can it be bus connector inreplace tonreduce heat

If the fan is running all the time to control the temperature wouldn't that be less fuel-efficient overall for the car?

In my rx 450h there is 3 cooling fans. How to find which one is faulty

Will th setting permanently in the car after we plug the OBD2 scanner out

Is there a way to control the fan on Gen 5 RAV4?

I'm using a Venom quad charger and getting a No cap! Error message after each complete cycle. Any idea on what's wrong? I'm using the same settings you are

On dr prius app mine temp 3 is higher aroind 114 other two are 100 why is temp 3 higher

I use dr prius it shows number 3 side higher temp which side isnit

a clear and concise explanation. Can you do a Prius V?

Thanks for review! So on my 2017 Prius Prime I just bought used a month ago with 30k miles, it's better use the charger it came with and slowly charge for 5 hours, instead of purchasing a fast charger from Toyota for $500 to charge in 2.5 hours, because you said batteries don't like fast charging at 2min40sed in your video? At 6min 35sec, you say your Charge Current Limit of -23.5kW is limited by braking, normally it is -25kW. Are you implying your regenerative braking is limited by the difference of 1.5kW, or at 13min40sec the difference of 4kW of 25kw CCL - 21kW DCL gives more regenerative braking power? Or did I misunderstand what you tried to teach us? Thanks so much!

this work with a gen 2?

it would be good to know what are the default toyota values for fan start and stop

Having ceramic tint also helps with keeping the HV battery cool.

Any app for rav4?

is there an apple version

My fan works as it should with the app running but not without the app running. Can you suggest where to look for the problem? Would appreciate it.

Dr prius shows temp three be aroind 115 which side is it and what causes high temp indrive this car for uber

Can you disable traction control with your odb?

Do you have to keep OBD plugged in all the time for these settings to stick?

I have a issue with the app it's not working for me, is it because I am using the Micro Mechanic OBD 2? Is that why it's not working? I use the Dr Prius app and it works perfectly. Can you tell me if it's that or not?

is there an iPhone app that does the Hybrid Assistant functions

That app isn't very useful for those of us with iPhones. Do you have a suggestion for an alternate?

Do you leave it plugged in 24/7? I just got one.

I wonder how representative of the actual battery temperature that probe is reading. If the thermistor is sitting between the individual batteries, then it may be reading more of the cool air you are flushing through with the fan than the actual battery temperature.

60F/15.6C is wayyyy too cold to be comfortable That 70F/21.1C is probably doable. I usually drive at 25C-27C as I find it is too cold in the cabin but I understand what you're demonstrating about keeping the temp. cool for the car's regenbatt. Thank you for the explanation.

Doesn't work with ELM 327 OBD2. It connects but no readings.

NiMH and NiCd hate heat. Meanwhile Li-Ion straight up goes in thermal runaway :D

DONT USE A CHEAP OBD2 SCANNER! It can possibly short circut your car. Use Blue driver or something of quality.

The warranty has been 100k or 10yrs since at least my 2007 prius. The problem is that Toyota doesn't honor it. The warranty doesn't say how bad the battery must be before they would replace it. My 07 prius with 65k mi had no power and mpg reduced to around 30mpg, but the battery management could still charge it some so Toyota said no. I had to buy it myself to get back power and milage in the high 40s. Toyota doesn't participate in the BBB so you're screwed. No honor with toyota.
