I came in here because I want to help someone who has the same problem as mine. Just recently my 2008 Prius went completely dead even after changing to a new battery. There was no life, nothing at all. I had to ask my friends to give me a jump. After watching many KZfaq videos I found out that one of my fuse was gone. When you open the fuse box, at the right under C section, there are two blue no.15 fuses. I changed the second one from the top. After that I also had to tighten up my negative volt battery which is in the trunk attached to the back of the car. Make sure you unscrew the negative volt before putting on the new fuse. After that it came to life. Hope it helps someone.

I recently had this happen when I was at a hardware lumber yard cutting some wood I needed. I left my blinkers on not realizing that that is actually being powered by the actual 12 volt battery and apparently I can drain it pretty quickly if you leave them on for too long. But I thought maybe if I just shut off the car for a while completely maybe the hybrid battery would trickle charge the 12 volt battery? I mean I have a 2018. Not really sure how the whole system works but it was the only thing I could think to do. Only had the car for a few weeks now and surprisingly I was able to get it to start again. Plus the hybrid battery was nearly full so even increased my mileage a bit poking through the rest of the lumber yard back to the entrance. I know this thing has a little over 100,000 mi on it and I know the car doesn't use a alternator so maybe I also need a new 12 volt battery. But I wonder would this car support something like one of those like car starter systems that you can plug into the 12 volt adapter just to give it enough to start the regular thing?
@HowToDoitright Жыл бұрын
Yes you can use Jump start to start this car. This car needs less juice (CCA) to start as compared to other car. Your car does have an alternator. The only cars which are fully electric don’t have alternators and main battery charges the small battery

Almost nobody is aware that the Toyota engineers made a special procedure to force the HV battery to recharge an over discharged 12v battery that is unable to start the car but can still boot the computer, and go into accessory mode. This is what they say on page 539 of my 2010 Prius user's manual: " (Section:) Steps to take in an emergency (Sub-Topic: ) Emergency start function When the hybrid system does not start, the following steps can be used as an interim measure to start the hybrid system if the “POWER” switch is functioning normally. [Step 1] Set the parking brake. [Step 2] Set the “POWER” switch to the ACCESSORY mode. [Step 3] Push and hold the “POWER” switch for about 15 seconds while depressing the brake pedal firmly. Even if the hybrid system can be started using the above steps, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer. "
@eideticgoone70352 жыл бұрын
The key takeaway here is that this procedure is done in ACCESSORY mode, not start mode. This is different from the procedure in this video which takes place in START mode. It is possible that while waiting in the HV battery will charge the 12V battery. One could check this with a volt meter across the 12v battery. I took this excerpt from the official user manual: assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47668U/pdf/OM47668U.pdf (p. 549) I discovered this when my car wouldn't start and I had time to read my manual while waiting for the AAA guy to come and jump start me. I was able to start the car before he came without the jump start and I save a AAA call.

What about when the car shows absolutely NO sign of life? I bought a battery charger from Amazon, tried charging mode, tried repair mode, actually got the volts up to 12.5 and the battery charge level was going up finally after the "repair" mode but it's still not doing jack when I put it in and try to start. I only get a red light on the keyfabs when I press, that's the only reaction I can get from it. Even the electronic door locks aren't working. I'm just hoping it has nothing to do with my hybrid battery, just the front one it seems. But I did replace the big battery a couple years ago, and my daughter left the back light on last time before it died. So there's a brief history on it! Any ideas?
@HowToDoitright3 жыл бұрын
Take the battery to auto zone. They will test for free by putting a load. You can also do a test by jumpering the car to another car and leave the other car on with cables connected. Wait about 10-15mins and see if your car starts. Both car needs to be on.

I tried this with my 2006 Prius when the battery was COMPLETELY dead, no lights, no dash functions. Holding the brake pedal down caused no pumping sound. I attempted it with several wait times, 20 seconds, 45 seconds, etc, nothing happened. So, I guess this video only applies if you have a marginal 12V battery. I was able to jump the car from another battery and get it going, but that was the only way.
