Reoccurring Code on 2013 Prius p0607

Those numbers don't look good.
But it is supposed to be fully charged to run the test.
Charge it up good, let it sit a couple of hours and then test it again.

 

... not the first and won't be the last time a problem that apparently-went-away-after-putting-in-a-new-12-V-battery ends up doing that.

Any luck with the library website, or the fixed sign-in issues on techinfo?

Prius does not need the cold cranking amps since it just powers the computers & accessories. The engine is started by MG1 using the large traction battery.

 

there you go. easy enough, should be under warranty.

you might want to check the drain on the battery when everything is off, to make sure the car isn't killing it.

 

Where in Nor Cal are you located?

 

HOWEVER.......a weak battery might not function right in either application.
If after fully charging, it won't pass the "standard" CCA test, it should be replaced.

NOW......having said that.......the test needs to be done right.

You can't test the small Prius battery, barely bigger than one in a motorcycle, with the same load that you apply to one maybe 4X as large that is designed to turn over a diesel truck.

 

Total and absolute complete BS.

Just another example to prove that mechanics these days get no REAL training in what they should know.

Let's hope that most of the problem was from not being charged good initially.

The part about "cold weather" causing a "good" battery to fail is also complete BS.
As the temp goes down, so does the capacity of the battery.
But a healthy one should still work just fine.

Where did you get the current battery ?
If it fails again, you should go back there to arrange a warranty replacement.
If that is the dealer........I feel sorry for you.

 

I live around that area also

 

What ?? Don't understand that comment.

The problem often IS that the test is done with equipment NOT designed for that size battery and therefore gives incorrect results.

 

I am having a P0136 check engine code. Any idea or information on how I can fix it?

 

The wires to the oxygen sensors are in good shape? The connectors are engaged completely? Did you notice this after some event (maintenance, rough weather, etc)?

 

I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting the car (2012 PriusV) ready for the annual New York State Inspection. Happy with the results of yesterday's exercise, I went ahead and booked the car in to my local garage for the inspection. This morning I got a CEL
Anyway, got out the code reader and got the code P0607. No other codes. Based on the previous threads, I checked the battery. 12.3V with the engine off, and 14.4V with it running. Went to the front of the car and pulled both connectors off the ECU. Wiggled them around a bit and then put them back on. Then I opened the fuse box and pulled every fuse that might have something to do with engine management, and reinstalled the other way around. At some point I cleared the CEL with the code reader, but of course the permanent code remained.
Then I took the car for about a 15 mile drive, the first part of which was back roads at 30 - 40 mph, and the last part was a blast on the highway at around 75 mph. The CEL did not return, and when I checked at home, the permanent code had cleared as well.
I imagine I'll find out tomorrow if I actually fixed it. I'll post again if it returns, but wish me luck!
