A123/Hymotion L5 11 Blinks

Fault Code 11 – Battery Cell Low Fault

This fault is reported if a cell voltage of lower than 1.5V is measured by a module board. In this event the BMS shuts off all module boards. The last recorded cell voltage can be seen in the CAN probe software.

 

It's the same service plug as the Toyota hybrid battery.
Any local Toyota dealer should be able to sell you one.

 

I was talking about the orange service plug.

The bumper plug that Hymotion used does not seem to be made any more. I replaced one last year and worked with the folks at Marinco to find an alternative.

You will need to remove the old plug to install the replacement. Kind of a hassle to do. I ended up cutting the old bolts with a small hacksaw. Be sure to protect the bumper as you cut.

 

I did a quick search and didn't find the exact info in my notes.

Basically I took apart the bumper plug and sent their Technical assistance an email with 8 photos and some text.
We talked on the phone and went through their online catalog to find an alternative.

What will be easiest for me is if you send me an email and I'll forward you what I sent to them. You can see if it matches what you have and then you can work through it with them.

From what I recall it involved some straightforward cutting/splicing.

EDIT: Found the info. Looks like I chose a Marinco 150BBI. You can find it on Amazon search for item B000NV0V8C

 

I am having the similar issue with my prius. The light blinks 11 times. I have no idea what to do. I live in Phoneix and the hymotion company no longer exists. Can some suggest me what to do? A bit about the car, I bought it used an year ago, Hymotion worked fine and for the last several months I didn't charge it since I live in an apartment. Recently bought 100 ft high gauge cable to charge the car. Initially the LED bulb didn't light though I charged all night long, now, suddenly I noticed that the LED light is blinking 11 times. I learned that this is because of low voltage. So what should I do to make it work? Please provide your recommendation and diagnostics.

Thank you,
Kiran

 

Post 2 in this thread has a troubleshooting guide for the Error 11 and all others.

 

Newbie here-
Bought a 2007 Prius hybrid with plugin conversion “Hymotion”
Condition- 8 blinks on led for Hymotion.
(7blinks and 8th is solid led)

Was reading through couple of threads and found that have to find this crash sensor.

1.Does anybody knows the location of crash sensor?
2. Other issue is that I can’t see the system charging when plugged in 110v. No brake lights, no indication if it’s plugged in or not.

Your input is highly appreciated
Thanks

 

There is an attachment in post 2 of this thread. Code 8 may be a plug.

Is the service plug present?
Is it gully seated? (3 steps. Insert plug. Swing bail upward. Slide bail straight downward until it clicks.)

Crash sensor is red button under a small removable rubber plug. Kinda near the gold bolt head on top of unit, driver side nearest rear of car.

Do you know if the unit has possibly been purposely rendered inoperable? Check to see if the white bypass plug has been inserted to bypass the Hymotion system.

 

Are you talking about this (see pic)

 

Yes.
Underneath that cover it looks like this.

 

Thanks @ericbecky,
1. I pushed the button down couple of times with small screw driver which stopped the blinking.
2. But when I opened the driver side door, it started blinking again. Same 8 blinks
I tried the same procedure but the same thing happened again.
Any suggestions

And also I checked the white switch on the unit
I tried to push the switch but it seems like switch did not go IN or come OUT.
The switch Didn’t click at all.

Thanks
