Engine seized? 118k miles

If you have a few days to spare go ahead and do them all at once like mentioned. Just make darn sure you hook all + together and put them on the red clamp,,,,,and connect all the (-) together and connect them to the black. Make absolute certain no + bare wires touch any (-) bare wires.

Distribution will be AFU no matter what you do, but it is what it is. Hopefully after a couple days it'll be good enough. This could be a great trial run..

If your charger maxes out at 2 amps and 7.8v, I doubt you can do any harm to the modules.

IF, IF, IF I were in this situation, and planned to try this, I would connect all the + together, all the (-) together, and then attach the red and black charger leads to the middle of each to help distribution. If I wanted to get real crazy, I would hook to the middle and each end..

 

Adding 400 WH to the whole pack with a 2A charger like this when it's close to the bottom will take at least 60 hours. But the charging should get a little faster at higher voltage.

Spend the $350 and get a proper charger for the hybrid battery, and do it CORRECTLY and SAFELY!

 

One way or the other, you NEED to test the battery, charge the battery, or attempt to charge the battery.
If you have the charger you can charge it, or attempt to put a charge on it, safely. Then you will know if the battery is
good or bad. And it you need to replace it, you can and have a running vehicle.
Then you can either drive it, or sell it. It's worth more with a new working battery.
$350 is a good investment because you can also use it on other vehicles with only having to purchase the harness.
You can place it outside of the car I believe.
Techstream won't help if the battery is dead. But doesn't hurt to try it, hopefully it will work and can
tell you the state of the hybrid battery. But you still need to charge it to see if cells are bad.
If you get the discharger with it, which is $300 more, you can run through the reconditioning cycles.
Prolong says it can bring the battery back to life, for a while anyways.
It depends on whether you and to keep the car or not.
I think someone said you can have it towed to Toyota or someone that works on hybrids and they
can charge it or recondition it for you. Either way, you'll need to spend money. So why not have
they tools for your money spent? That way you can use it again, rent it out, and it will pay for itself.

 

have you tried googling for the codes? i did that for you and came up with this strange story. who knows? maybe relevant: UPDATE: Car Keeps Stalling after everything. - Page 2 - GreenHybrid - Hybrid Cars

 

Did you run a carfax? Was this car involved in a flood?

 

Clear the codes and start over. See if the same ones come back.

 

Another charging option is to buy an adjustable ~200V DC power supply (I think I've seen these for ~$20 on ebay). Setting it to the same voltage as the battery, connecting an amp-meter and then connecting it to the batter, increasing the voltage until the maximum current is flowing for the power supply. Then once the voltage gets up to ~200V, set the open circuit power supply voltage for around 8V per module (I think this comes out to about 225V total) and let the battery charge overnight. Tons of risks if not done correctly - electric shock, or causing fires with overcharging, but if you know what you're doing it can be done. Certainly do your research and at your own risk! For me this would be preferred to needing to temporarily rewire every module and charge in parallel.

Definitely see if the engine will crank over by hand. Auto auctions may say "run and drive" if the car was able to move forward a few feet. This may have been by electric power only.

 

Thus, the danger of doing this, is very risky. You would have to watch it constantly. Unless you are very familiar with it,
you could cause a lot of damage to not just the car, but anyone around.

Maybe, the 12v battery is too low and that's why you're getting errors? Maybe techstream can't retrieve the data
because there's not enough power to deliver it? So charging it is a good idea.

I had the place I purchased techstream from install it by him logging into the laptop. It took him about two hours to get it working.
Losedoz REALLY still sucks! I only use it for techstream and it won't be connected to the internet, there was no data on it, so I let him do his thing.

It does take a while to connect and get running once I connect it up. But after that, not so bad.

 

Glad you can hand crank it. That should clear the issue of a seized motor.
