P0A80 not clearing. Gen 3. 185k miles

Takes a long time to go away but I know a shop that didnt complain about my permanant error code and passed.

As long as there is no check engine light you should be good to go.

Which device or App are you using to retrieve the codes (DTCs) with?

Can you hear the HV battery fan located near the rear passenger seat running at a higher speed?

P0A80 is a generic code for a failed HV battery, unlikely that it will clear itself without being sorted out first. Do you have a DIY attitude?

Here is the workup for DTC P0A80 : https://share.qclt.com/%E4%B8%B0%E7%94%B0%E6%99%AE%E7%91%9E%E6%96%AF%E5%8E%9F%E5%8E%82%E8%8B%B1%E6%96%87%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8Cpdf%E6%A0%BC%E5%BC%8F/repair%20manual/04pruisr/05/20zmw/cip0a80.pdf

 

@SFO

OP said he put another battery so the code will be there and go away on its own.

It is a permanent code that after a long time of driving it will go away.

with a new oem battery?

 

Hopefully the OP will reply with the replacement HV battery (new OEM, new aftermarket, whack-a-mole, 300/30/30, etc). Likely the underlying problem or DTC wasn't sorted out properly, and this is why it is failing to clear in a timely fashion.

Not sure how P0A80 plays in the permanent code arena (2010+), but many makes/models clear by driving 50ish for 25-35 minutes or less.

When stuck, ask the Ref : Monitor Readiness Concerns

Wonder if the 15 (warmups) / 200 (miles) rule applies (or even exists), which may get the ref to offer a pass.

 

Well that changes everything.
Just drive it and it will go away.
Green Bean will swap the battery if there are issues and codes but your permanent code will go away.

As for the smog test go to another station.

Make contact with the local referee station, likely just walking in would get you pointed in the right direction or make an appointment.
