Guy just sold ma Prius C clean title with 115k miles. Said it ran great, didn’t notice anything on the short test drive, but I drove another Prius c which is getting 15+ mpg better. Man got me good.

Sorry to hear that @UsefulEveryday. My 2013 Prius C is at 112k now and still gives about 50 mpg in mixed driving, close to the 53/47 for city/hway according to specs. No degradation over the years as far as I can see. Is your’s giving you 35 mpg? I am surprised - are there any fault codes in the OBD?

Cool. Good temporary get around. Last week just experienced running out of gas leaving my car on idling air conditioning on and running my HV battery down flat on my Prius C. Took almost an hour plus disconnecting the 12 V battery and letting it rest. It finally restarted the engine.

Great video, I have a 2013 Prius-c that I bought as a total. I fixed the sheet metal and drove it for a few years. It has 33,000 on it and was running great. I then let it sit for a year before I bothered to put a charger on the 12 volt battery which I had replaced when I rebuilt the car. Got it running and the traction battery is giving errors. Low voltage on A and low voltage on B. Is that a battery conditioner in the video? If so would you give the model and source? Thank You for the video and help.

Is there a way to charge it without removing it?? I bought a 2014 toyota prius c that was involved in a deer accident. Vehicle sat for over a month, jump starting the 12v battery only turns on lights but will not turn the car on. It says to check the hybrid system on the screen. Codes p0A40 & p0A41 came up from the obd reader, Position sensor circuit. Anything i should try to start it up? Or does the hybrid battery need to be replaced because the car sat for too long and maybe the battery is dead
@Mrelectric4232 жыл бұрын
Those codes are not battery related. There is probably a broken wire or unplugged connector on the side of the transmission.

If the modules lost capacity it doesn’t matter if you charge one module close to others. Once owner turn on AC all lights pop up again and car set in limp mode. All modules have to be with the same capacity plus properly balanced.

Bringing a single cell up to scratch is fruitless - Batteries internals grow stalagmites and stalactites which cause internal low resistance and self discharging. Of course, all of the cells are aged with the same issue. Most likely only get about 6 months to a year out of the fix.
