P0A0D-350 High Voltage System Interlock

Do you understand what a C1259 code is?

 

I do not have the Gen 3 background to provide an accurate answer. I'm more of a Gen2 person.

 

gen 1 and 4 please chime in also on this gen 3 forum.

 

Toyota's Technical Information System isn't so much a tool (in the hardware sense), as their online library where all the manuals, wiring diagrams, technician training, etc. can be found.

Elektroingenieur built this wiki page to tell you all about it, including various options like public libraries that may have paid-up access to it already, as well as the $20 direct subscription option.

So even though it isn't a piece of hardware, it's often the most important tool you will use fixing your car.

Sometimes people also find materials on the web that have been downloaded from TIS by somebody else, but the links don't always stay reliable.

 

The wiring diagram will show you the circuit, wire colors, location and routing, shapes of connectors and junctions, pin numbers, the whole nine yards. In the repair manual, if you turn to P0A0D, you've got fourteen pages of suggested steps for troubleshooting ... including how to stay safe (considering that two of the places you might end up checking are beneath inverter terminal covers exposing you to high voltage). If you've got that information and an ohmmeter you can use, you're off to the races.

I'm pretty sure all the wiring in question is routed within the cabin and the engine compartment. Nothing you'd need to lift the car for.

Good show! Another good example of how good a lead you can get in the right direction just by focusing on what the trouble code is telling you.

 

I'm happy it was a simple fix!
Did you ever put the charger on the 12v battery? Then check the voltage?

 

wack o mole beast!!!
