2006 prius shows code p3000 I need to get rid of it.

1.5 Volts difference almost always means that a cell in one module is shorted. Stick a fork in it - done.

I have recently found the Autel Maxi AP200 bluetooth device ($70) and app to have very good codes and data function on the Gen2 Prius - for all ecu's. Including INF codes and freezeframe data.

Hello everyone! After lurking in this forum for a while I decided to make an account to see if anyone can help with my issue. I need to sell my 2006 Prius as it has been sitting for months after throwing up the red triangle of death and my mechanic telling me that it was over. I didn't know that the 2nd gen Prius had leaking problems in the back that would flood the areas where the 12v battery sat so I never thought to check after a carwash. Very unfortunate as I could have probably saved the car and sold it as a working vehicle if I had found all the water within the first month. I've dried out the 12volt compartment and the adjacent side of water and silicone the car gutters where it was leaking. The car drives fine after jumping the 12v which is dead and needs to be replaced. The only code I can get the OBD II reader to pull with the Doctor Prius app is p3000. After monitoring the hybrid battery it appears that my module #8 is weak showing between 14-16volts while running and driving. This would need to be replaced but I'm not sure that is the sole reason for the code. The fan blows hard once the car remembers that it has detected an issue and I'm wondering if the connector above the 12v got too corroded from the water. At this point, I've done about all I want to do with my beginning whack a mole game and would prefer to pass it on to someone else if they want to fix it up. My real question is do I purchase a new 12v so the car starts and then sell it as is? Or just sell it as is with known issues that the hybrid battery presents. Car also has 240k miles been awesome, I don't blame it for its condition.
I've attached some pictures to see if they aid in any way

There's usually a handful of guys hanging out in the park whom you could sell it to. Why don't you try one of them?
