My 2001 Prius has set for over a year could have been even 2 years without running because of a bad HV Battery. I have rebuilt the HV battery. The HV battery is now working good.
After charging the HV Battery in a second Pries I have I put it in the problem Prius. It don't matter if I drive it or if I just sit with engine running, in just a few minutes it will shutter around engine stops an I get a P3010 for HV Battery Problem.
The HV battery is good. The one Prius runs great on either HV Battery but this one takes the battery down to a level that gives me a HV Battery problem indication in a very short time.
The energy flow will show the ICE running and the HV Battery as charging but a few minutes later it shuts down with the P3010.
Can someone that knows more than I do, tell me if there are some big electrolytic capacitors inside the inverter/converter that may have lost their ability to do their job or become shorted from setting and causing this problem??? I need some help here guys. It seems I'm in a Texas Death match a Prise an it's winning so far.
I would really appreciate some ideas on this if anyone can help me. Thanks, Hank
