    So MIL had code P3000 & P3006, DOC over 20% (36%) serviced (cleaned) and replaced Bus Bar ( could have cleaned it but why bother at $114 )

    Code popped up again but not DOC at 20%

    Prior to service CEL cleared on its own and ran great

    So I am thinking it may be the HV ecu just work out or faulty sensors and or solders due to high mileage?

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hey Thanks for your Post

    My bad sub code is 123, I have a techstream

    The thing is I installed a new from dealer bus bar ergo the better DOC

    It is just odd that with a DOC 20% it still trips the Triangle of Death

    One thing to note is when I did place the new bar on after cleaning all the terminals I accidentally arced the battery bank 1 and may have compromised a sensor on the back side, I cleaned the spot weld on the bar but I suspect it may have been damaged. I will find out with the new one once I receive it.

    Good call on connection to the HV ecu,I will check the connection for corrosion prior to install.

    I am leaning towards bad ecu if new bus bar fails

    much depends on the age and driving/thermal history of the battery pack.
    DOC? do you mean SOC (State of Charge)?
    Here is some more reading:
    Gen 1 Prius Battery Failure, P3006 - Luscious Garage | Hybrid Specialists
    and this (old, but informative)
    Gen1 Codes P3000 sub code 123 | PriusChat
    DTC P3000 INF 123 says "battery system", fuse, battery cooling system, power cable.
    I'd look to see if the battery cooling fan is properly operational; the rest is inspections.
    If you have the battery pack out, measure and record ALL the battery voltages with a DMM.
    If the highest-to-lowest differential is too big, that may set a code. But I think it's a different subcode.
    If the fan is okay, running...
    It may be time to consider a whole new battery pack. Your time is worth money, too.
    Best of luck...

    Yeah I have to admit I did it quickly

    I will check all the connection this thing me around

    Actually I can remove and reinstall on 2 hours

    The cleaning takes forever
