05 prius

not sure whats going on i'm not getting any codes related to the hybird battery but it drains rapidly to one bar on display once i start the car. bought the car it had from end damage replaced everything that needed replaced and then the rapid discharge of the battery happens. i was told the hybird battery is only a few months old. i fixed all the parts that the codes sold and got most the codes fix only a 02 sensor code left because there is no cat on the car and a code saying the throttle is stuck open when i checked the throttle while the cars on its closed not sure why i'm getting the code. i'm to the point of cutting my loses and reselling it because i don't have one to two grand to put out for a hybird battery if that is my issue. doesn't anyone have any ideas?

 

yes which is another reason why i'm confused. engine runs fine and idles fine it just won't charge

 

i know about the cats prices thanks ill give your idea a try is there diy grid charge setup tutorials? because i never heard of them but i have a 6volt and 12volt battery charger

 

i do see arrows i let car sit to try charge it i even tried to drive to charge it but it barely moves. they stay for what seems until i put car is drive then i get 3 symbols.

a battery symbol with a ! in the middle
a triangle with ! in the middle that says problem but never indicates what the problem is
and a battery symbol with + and -.

I have the red triangle with ! in middle and the little car icon showed maybe 4 times within the 2 weeks i been working on giving the car its life back.

maybe its the battery sat to long the guy i got it from said after he replaced the battery he hit the dear the same day and it sat for like three months.

and if you mean the greyish blue batter strength looking bar on display i have one bar. i also noticed when its like 60 degrees outside it shows 4 bars then when i start it the bars go down really fast to one bar like maybe in five minutes or less

 

yes battery stays at one bar.

the inverter makes noise like its running and with the cap off on the fluid reservoir fluid moves not sure how its suppose to more but it looks like its cycles the fluid.

can't drive at one bar will be lucky if i can move a few feet in ether drive or reverse like there's not enough power

 

what is tech stream?

 

there was corrosion on the point but they wasn't bad but i cleaned the anyways it was light corrosion

 

what i don't understand though is after i replaced the radiator and the broken wire connecters it was charging just fine but once i put headlights on and factory radio in and turned car on to check make sure they was working it was no longer charging

 

oh ok yeah i had a friend come over with a laptop that had a software made for Prius idk if it was tech stream but it gave me all the codes i needed to fix even codes i couldn't get on my obd2 and i fixed them he even checked

 

thats what i'm thinking but i have yet to find it
