Help please

I think my failure could have been also related to the cold weather, it's been sub 0s every day for the past few weeks. There will be a lot of other users here ready to lend better advice than me. A LOT has been covered in my current thread. One user, SFO, even listed the complete troubleshooting guide for this issue, which is definitely worth doing if you're savvy enough.

Has your HV battery ever been replaced? You've gotta be really close if you haven't since it's an 04. Have you experienced any engine ping or fuel line issues prior to this?

 

You have a good boyfriend! keep him around. HV is the hybrid battery. Which OBD code reader does he have?

 

Well, when my HV battery failed last summer, it did indeed throw battery codes. However, some code readers do not actually read all the codes that may be present in the computer. How many miles? I do suspect it could be the HV in this case.

Hopefully some other much smarter users here will chime in soon, I've shared about all I know. I'm still struggling to have mine fixed two weeks later.

One important note: I HIGHLY recommend not trying to restart it any more. The HV battery will completely discharge (if it's not already) and then you'll need a new battery either way. If you read through my thread, you will see what happened.

Where are you located?

 

how many miles on her?

 

maybe an o2 sensor or some such. what are you reading the codes with?

 

Possibly suspect the fuel pump? If the HV battery is showing a full charge, that's good. May be the same issue as mine.

 

may need toyota reader for sub codes.

 

So your saying the engine try’s to start it turns over but won’t stay running?

Engine performance 3190 on this site has been your out of gas or the throttle body is hopelessly clogged. Is it possible it’s never been cleaned?

 

Oh and you didn’t just get an oil change did you. 3190 has also been Oil extremely overfilled at Jiffy and or dealer.
What’s the dipstick read?

 

Any luck?

Do you have a trusted mechanic nearby who has a Toyota code reader? Otherwise, Toyota will charge you $129 for a diagnostic. Sometimes they waive the fee if you have the repair done with them. Be wary, they will probably throw a ton of repairs at you since your car is so old with high mileage. You have no obligation to take them up on any of the repairs besides what's necessary to get it running again.

 

Fixed?

 

Given that it is over a year ago and no posts and no logins since, probably fixed and no need to visit Priuschat anymore.
