@hybrid32494 appreciate this video and content, very helpful. Quick question: I followed your instructions while my hybrid was fully on and it says Battery was 13.8 volts. With just the lights on, it says Battery was 11.8. .For some reason MY car is loosing Battery power, since yesterday. It also appears it's not charging very well while driving in light traffic. This just started yesterday. Do you have any thoughts. I took it to Autozone, and they say it's a bad Battery. Could it be the alternator.

Remove it for arund 25 seconds, and put it back. Check some vids o youtube here for more info before you try this.

hey man! thanks for watching. Let me give you an update on this car, a few months after this video I would up loosing front brakes completely, it turned out to be a cracked/broken ABS brake pump accumulator. Luckily at the time there was a Toyota Waranty enhancement and this car was still covered up to 150K at the time. Toyota replaced my Brake pump for free, normal cost would have been around 3K. Find out if your car has any warranty enhancements for brake issues. You should call Toyota of America's main number (google it) and read them your VIN, see what they say.

To be clear, you are talking about the general battery and not the hybrid battery? Or… My display shows 13.8- 13.9 from start to driving. I just bought a new “general” battery last year, but I’m running on the original hybrid battery on my 2007 Prius 107,600 miles. My friend told me all the videos I’m watching are probably about the 200$ battery I bought last year, and not the hybrid. I had received the red triangle of death with break light, vsc, and engine light after making a quick turn. Now, it’s only the red triangle of death with check engine (time for that), and tire pressure. The tire pressure and air conditioner have been problems for 6-7 years. Sometimes the a/c works, others not. Same with the tire light; the dealer and a private mechanic couldn’t find anything wrong with either multiple visits.
@hybrid324942 жыл бұрын
hello, yes, I was referring to the 12V battery for the most part here. Anyways, I've had those same exact lights on previously and it turned out to be a bad brake pressure accumulator. Luckily at this time there was still a 150K, or 10Year Warranty enhancement from Toyota. I eventually lost brakes completely and they replaced the brake pump. The legs you're mentioning are exactly what I had, it wasn't the hybrid battery. In fact the failure rate of the hybrid packs is extremely low, mine has never failed and I've owned a couple of these same model year cars so far.
