Had to be jumped. Then drove it around for few minutes . . Paid the guy and took it home. On the way battery was acting up and the triangle popped up. P0A80 P3000 I had a extra Hybrid Battery at home so I swapped it out. And I had a extra Yellow top 12volt Ahhh the joy. No more codes Runs great. Found out what was wrong with old Hybrid battery. Thanks
8 of the Battery packs are showing around 6.5 average Probably the ones with the burnt connections. I will do a full diagnostic and see if the burnt wires match with the low voltage Packs. The rest are showing around 7.2 average. I wonder if the Computer is still good. Guess I will test that too
Very nice looking! One of the very few 2004's I have seen that is NOT blue! From working in electronics for many decades, I know that all electrical/electronic components are made with "magic smoke" inside them - that's what makes them work. And, nothing good ever happens if you let the smoke out! -Graeme- 2004 Prius with >190,000 miles. Sent ?.
Should I sell the gen 3 that I did the engine swap on and Keep the gen 2 ? I don't have enough clones of me to drive all my Prii
I think 3rd gen's can go the the long haul, but it requires more of a "problem child" approach. Definitely not for the "I've brought the car to the dealership religiously for the required maintenance" crowd. Anyone doing that wins the booby prize, somewhere between 150K~200K.
I have never been to a dealership to buy cars or get maintenance/repairs done, only go there for Genuine Parts that AutoZ**e can't get.
