Don't mess this up. It isn't complicated but I'm always surprised at how often I see this done wrong.

Steve I just wanted to let you know what a valuable wealth of information you are providing to new hybrid owners like myself. I just got a Venza and some of the easiest things can take me hours to figure out. Keep up the good work.

Hey Steve, I haul cars for living the exotic ones. This car you just described in your video I needed that video so badly. This dead vehicle I couldn’t get it moved of course cause the battery was dead, and I didn’t know how to jump it. Your video helped me just now tremendously! Thank you so very much!!

This is a brilliant video! Thank you so much for making it. You taught me some very important information about my new hybrid Corolla. I won't be carrying my old jumper cables with me any more. I'll just stick to carrying my battery pack jump starter.

On the RAV4 there is a specific metal piece more towards the opposite side of the engine from the fuse box for the negative cable to be attached. It is better to keep the cables further apart to be sure you don't accidentally damage the computer in the car.

A lot of jump boxes have very shot cables, but cables running from another car can be spread

This was very helpful. I needed to help jump someone, and couldn't figure how the hell to do that.

My sister drives a hybrid. As a grease monkey I like to stay away fromt them. But it turns out her battery is dead. This is all very useful information. Thank you & Godbless

This happened to me after COVID and Lock Down you could not drive. My Toyota hybrid would not start getting a jump start did work but quickly died as the engine would switch off. after start I had to switch on the AC so the engine would keep running and then a good 7 mile journey fix the problem.

Make sure you do not connect the black negative cable to the engine control module ( PCM).

I have a friend that had a new Toyota hybrid. After a month, it wouldn’t start up. The only ones in town that knew what to do with it was the Jeep dealer! I was so surprised a new Toyota wouldn’t start.

Two key points to remember… if it’s a smart key car you have to have the remote right next to the start button when starting the car (not just anywhere in the car). Second, I’m pretty sure you have to wait for the engine to cycle before disconnecting the leads or the vehicles goes dead again. I usually press the accelerator to stimulate the engine to come on.

@TrainerSteveClifford Жыл бұрын

That trick with the key next to the start button only applies if the battery for the remote dies, not the 12 volt car battery. That's another video I need to do.

@stevendegreef93 10 ай бұрын

The car starts charging the 12V battery from the dc-dc converter connected to the main (high voltage) battery. It has nothing to do with the ice running or not. You can check that by monitoring the 12V at the cigarette lighter with a volt monitoring usb charger.

Literally jumped started my 2023 crown platinum and with a autowits and I got everything from hybrid system malfunction to low brake power to the ultrasonic parking sensor malfunction jump started it from the points also parking brake unavailable guess it’s going to the dealership in 3 hours but if it can’t be jumpstarted without tripping a whole bunch of lights, then it’s a car that’s not for me

Could you place the trickle charge here for storage? Prolly need to charge batter directly in back. Hopefully can pop the hatch window w/out leaving lights on?!

Good info. When you list hybrids in your videos, you always neglect the Venza…. Such a shame as it is an incredible vehicle.

@TrainerSteveClifford Жыл бұрын

I missed the Corolla hybrid as well. That’s what happens when you don’t have a script! lol You’re right that the Venza really is an awesome car. A sleeper in my opinion. I wish we could get more of them to sell

Hi just bought a Toyota CHR GR . In the uk . The battery is in the boot . Would it be alright to jump it off from that battery. Should I ever need to jump it off Many thanks

@TrainerSteveClifford 8 күн бұрын

@@tomgranton8754 you certainly can jump it straight to the battery but because the “boot” (trunk) has an electronic lock, you might not be able to access it. That’s why they added the post under the “bonnet” (hood).

On my toyota hybrid chr icon I can see that positive part but I'm worried as this all looks plastic ?

@TrainerSteveClifford 2 ай бұрын

You're talking about finding a ground? The bolts at the top of the suspension struts work in most cases.

@vinhb6525 3 ай бұрын

can a conventional jump start a hybrid? are the jumper cables to charge a hybrid different from a conventional jumper cable since the positive terminal in the fuse box look different from a 12 volt battery?

@TrainerSteveClifford 3 ай бұрын

Conventional can jump a hundred. Just can’t jump conventional with a hybrid. Yes, regular cables are fine

I'm curious about using portable jump-starting battery packs. Can they be effectively used to bring a hybrid vehicle to the 'Ready' state? Thanks for any insights!

i face no such issues or inconvinences with my Hyundai Ioniq hybrid...i just press a recharge button inside my car after i manunally open the car door with a key and jump start the car...

what I mean and there is a tiny metal bit how can the red lead attach to that

@TrainerSteveClifford 2 ай бұрын

Ah... yes, there is not a huge amount of metal there but it is enough. Remember, all you're doing is waking up the computer. You're not turning a starter.

Hyundai Ioniq only needs a button inside to jumpstart...

Why not directly jump start the battery at the back of the vehlcle? Is there a reason? Thanks.

@TrainerSteveClifford 5 ай бұрын

On many cars, you can’t access the truck because it has an electronic latch

@hexise 5 ай бұрын

@@TrainerSteveClifford Thanks for your reply. If you can get into the car, you can manually open the sliding door, and collapse the 3rd row seats and access the battery at the trunk, no need to open trunk door.

@TrainerSteveClifford 5 ай бұрын

@@hexise yes… you could manually reach back and unlock the door, climb over the seats, move everything in your cargo area, pull the plastic cover and hook up your jump box or cables directly to the battery… or access the panel under the hood as demonstrated. lol
