So when the gas light is on there should around 3.5 gallon of fuel left meaning the car could run on emty over 100 miles.

How many miles were you able to go after reaching 0 miles?

Instead of bundling up all that extra cable it would of been better to cut it a little longer than needed and reinstall the head on the wire woth soldier and heat shrink othrwise nice job real clean i installed the same one and it's made for a tacoma

I want those seats!

So in other words, we can only pump 10 gallons every time we fill up on “E” but it actually has an extra 4 gallon reserve to prevent situations like this?

Nice

I tried that and it worked for like a year, then it wore back down and quit working.

Why Gwendolyn? Had to ask.

Nice truck, but a real man doesn't name this truck

One of my favorite trucks.

3:38 ok ok ok we get it. you don’t need to say “Hybrid system stopped” twice in the same message.

3:11 there’s no engine light!! Why?!

This is real engineering.

What I would like to know is how many miles were you able to travel after it read DTE 0 and just said "Refuel"?

Clearly..

And he was in sport mode

I've been driving a 2019 Prius Prime for the last 4 years, and will take delivery of a Rav4 Prime next week. This may be one of the most valuable KZfaq videos I will watch all year. Another thing I want to point out to all Toyota Hybrid owners: the starter motor for the gas engine in your car is the MG1 motor/generator, which is powered from the traction battery, NOT the 12 volt accessory battery. If your traction battery ever gets so low that it can't crank the engine over, there is no way that you can recharge it at home. All Toyota dealers have a "rescue" charger in the service department, which plugs into the inverter, or into the DC power cable that runs between the inverter and the traction battery. This system carries potentially lethal voltage and it's why only dealerships, or Toyota-specializing repair shops, are likely to have this equipment. If you have to have a Toyota Hybrid towed in to a repair shop because the traction battery is too depleted to crank over the ICE, a session on the rescue charger is likely to cost you at least $400. So DON'T run your Toyota HSD out of gas! The possible consequences can cost you hundreds of dollars, even if no actual damage has been done. These two guys were very lucky that they had an OBD-II scanner at hand, that allowed them to clear the ECM trouble codes, or they would likely have had to call for a tow truck. NOTE: If you have a Prius Prime or Rav4 Prime, a dead traction battery is less of a problem, because you can plug in and recharge it at home without having to resort to a $400 visit to a repair shop for a "rescue recharge".

Hybrid vehicles are junk

Actually the question I wanna ask is: What will happen with your rav4 hybrid when the battery hitting zero while driving long trip?

Pretty country

You and Carson are freaky!!! I can’t believe there are two of you ‘

i didn't realise your car had a key, thought it was just a card

Scanner link not working

That is soo trippy being able to change the camera angle all around

I hope you vacuumed after this!

The link to your obd2 scanner isnt available. Do most scanners have the capability to remove the seatbelt chime?

Too much fun.

If only I'd watched this video before this happened to me on the way home tonight. I feel really dumb.

When you couldn't open the door😆 those Toyota Tercels are awesome though

You guys are nuts!!! 😅

I miss my old yoda wagon. Have a ton of fun in that thing boys!

Excellent plannification

Fun times!

Good luck 👍

It's giving codes for the gas engine not the electric engine right

Which OBD scanner do you use? The link is broken

I wonder what unknown damage has been caused to your car, if any from running this experiment? And I also wondering what Toyota would have charged you to do what you did with your OBDII?

Tell us how did you turn off seat belt alert with obd2 please..

The protection is there in case there is a real fuel delivery failure not caused by dry tank. I bet the gasoline RAV4 will also set trouble codes and give up starting.

the one thing i wont do hopefully is run that low, the other thing i decided just in case was to by a code reader capable of reset just in case, handy thing to have anyway, and cheap as chips to buy, cheers guys, great video as well.

Do you have any info on how to clear the codes through the infotainment system?

You a pair of knuckle heads interesting no. Your car has locked you out to protect the fuel and hybrid systems. Why would people without any knowledge of high pressure fuel system knowingly run out of fuel . Anyone who had a common rail diesel will know that running out of fuel is a fuel issue as you have to bleed all air locks out ofvthe fuel system this is a dealership job . Your a pair of morons. Clearly you know nothing this us not an EFI engine it gdi it more akin to a diesel this will need to be purged properly. Toyota do not start on engine they start battery As this was a planned activity I hope Toyota charge them to repair disk heads. The passengers is a moron all you need to do is read the book the owners manual there a max 2mile battery distance but it need to keep a reserve so it 1.6 net Once used up the car require fuel there when you run out of fuel you damage the pump and filter Hand book say do not attempt to start car when you have depleted your fuel as thus will damage the fuel system. Its all in the hand book for the car

Don't you people read the owner manual. You can cause significant damage to the vehicle if you run out of fuel

Thankyou so much 🙏

thankyou for sharing! great video guys! I just got a highlander hybrid and was freaked out when DTE said 400 after my first fill up... I want to test it too!!

Hey guys, great vid ! I have a 2019 LE Hybrid in Canada, use an OBD2 scanner app combo and regularly drive 1000+ km between fill-ups. I was once able to pump 65liters (17 US gal) so there IS more room in the tank than we think.

You guys definitely took a pretty good risk to try this experiment, what came out of this though is by removing all the codes with the OBDII you found a way to restart and move again after adding just a gallon of fuel. I will keep this in mind for myself since I drive a Kia Niro hybrid and even when I didn't drive a hybrid I never let it go completely empty for fear of burning the pump inside the fuel tank. The fuel keeps the fuel pump in your gas tank lubricated without ant fuel it can burn out and you will definitely have to get towed and replace the pump. Next time be very careful driving on empty. Thanks for the video.

Do the bed lights come on as you approach the truck?
