Block voltages

So I see you post in nearly every thread I've read... how come when I changed out the battery modules from my Gen3 to my Gen2, I started getting codes P3012 & P3013? Saying the battery is becoming low on block 2 & 3? But when the cells were in my other prius, that was never a problem. At all. They're all in sequence. I feel so lost man :/

 

I'd be happy to chat with you about it and do some troubleshooting. Feel free to call.
608-729-4082 Don't beat yourself up too hard. You'll figure it out.

Basically go open things up and methodically check things.

It is easy, and common, to make a small mistake. The nice things is that you the error codes are giving you a place to hone in on.

Do you have a way to watch live data?
Dr. Prius's app, Torque Pro app, or Hybrid Assistant app. All run on Android phone/tablet.
Also need an ELM 327 OBDII adaptor to relay data from car to the app.

 

Since I didn't see an answer on this thread to the "what torque for the terminals", I'll answer what I used: 48 Inch pounds (not foot pounds!). Several of you said this elsewhere on Priuschat. Electronautomotive said up to 60 inch pounds, but I used 48. If, like me, you're a bit rusty with your torque wrench, practice on your dead/sick/removed modules first!

 

48 inch*lbs is correct, "Electronautomotive" is incorrect.
