Toyota Prius Won’t Start (Easy Fix) 2010-2015 + All Models Aux Battery Low

[@cchoi108]

Omg thank you so much. I was sitting in my car at 9:30 at night at work. Now I was able to drive home. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@kwinboable]

Just an fyi: i spoke with my local prius service center recently about where to attach the negative cable if it wasn't long enough to reach the bolt on the far side of the engine that is usually recommended. I asked about attaching them to the frame and was told in very firm tones never to attach to the frame. I was told that doing so creates unpredictable paths for the current flow and that the current can jump to the computer system and totally fry the computer. I was told the safest place to attach the negative if you can't reach the recommended bolt is the top bolt supporting the shock on top of the wheel well. As i said, just an fyi...

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

Thanks, I used this advise today.

[@mamasharoni]

Thank you so much for caring enough to reach out to everybody and tell us that. These cars get expensive with batteries and no one needs to fry their computer. Very grateful for your caring attitude and help thank you so much

[@danielleanddanielchannel5919]

I connected to the battery in the back under the trunk floor side panel

[@whompmaster]

My battery is so dead (just out of nowhere) that even after a jump it won't crank back up again. I called the place I got it from and realized it was just about 7 years to the day when I bought it. So, I'll buy another and replace it myself. I already saw your other video about replacing the battery so I'm good to go now. Thanks!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome

[@JamesObermayer]

Thanks for the tip about shutting off all power-draining options in the car (radio, lights, etc.). This is a 2014 (75,000 miles). I replaced the battery just because (at 68000 miles). I had an accident a year ago, and the rear hatch needs a very firm closing. Maybe that is what is causing the drain. I will check the rear hatch and charge.

[@Sacredenergy]

I just did what you shared in this video!!! Thank you. My 2011 started right up 🙏🏽

Saved by the youtube! =)

Same. This was the first video I found. Got the 2019 Prius started. Getting a new 12v Battery. Thank you so much!

Happy to help 😁

Bro 👊 you are legend I was stressing until I watched your video keep it up 👍

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome bro, make sure you eventually change that battery tho.

[@hlrules8888]

@@thecollegepickerthanks bro it worked, what would i tell the mechanic tho, just replacement of the battery?

[@sh8nn0n92]

Hi! My prius doesn’t light up at all- there seems a 60a fuse is missing? Only one is in there?😬

[@alext8828]

We like the shock tower bolt for the ground. It's beyond that red terminal and just under the wiper thingy. Just test it for some spark with the jumper. Other bolts show no signs of life. They are not dependable grounds. (ground is the negative pole on the battery. They always use the whole car as ground instead of running individual wires everywhere. One positive wire and ground to the body, and you've made a good connection.

[@ElKiwiProductions]

Mine did not show that display. It shows all the other lights on the dashboard. Touch screen completely black. I got a jump, had it hooked up for about 10-15 minutes. Then attempted to turn on. Navigation screen turned on. But transmission did not want to engage. Waited 5 minute(with car off but still hooked up). Power the car on, and transmission worked. Assuming I have a low battery (12volt). 2014 Prius, fully loaded.

[@danielleanddanielchannel5919]

Is there a ink for the battery replacement yet?

[@tiberiusotak6000]

Why is the issue happing tho ? I tested my battery at autozone. Said the battery is good just needs charging ?

[@marinashelton761]

I am now having that same issue battery is tested and great cannot figure out why the car keeps not starting randomly..

[@OmarFaruk-xx6cf]

Toyota PriusV 2012 doesn’t show any display or light completely dead nothing has been showing. already tried jumper not work, should I replace the battery?

[@erosmyers]

Need vide on how to start 2010 Prius that goes totally dead when you park the car and turn it off

[@waclaww9455]

Battery is burnt news. I do what you tell to do and still block and dark

[@AdrianoBoller]

So I checked the air conditioning and what I noticed is in the electric motor at the front that there is a mini jerk when moving between the change from the electric motor to the combustion motor, it seems that this transition from one to the other has a small bad contact or wear. of a piece of equipment responsible for the exchange. I didn't find anything about how this exchange occurs, if you can check, that's the problem. I noticed that when you make this jerk and turn on the lights, there are problems with the panel or when opening the doors, probably due to the reset via the white cable from the fuse panel. In short, it is something between an electronic and a combustion engine. When the hybrid's batteries are charging normally, I cleaned the zinabre and is working perfectly after maintenance. And the 12v battery is new, I replaced it.

[@christopher23.]

Is there a way to email you ?I have a problem with my 2011 Prius. Wonder if you can help with some advice

[@anagallegos2644]

It worked! Thank you. We made it home

[@thecollegepicker]

Oh good. Phew. Get a new 12v battery sooner rather than later

[@ryanchristian5543]

Did this replaced batteries both front and back still nothing

[@Pre-Expatriate]

Any idea how to fix this with a Prius that doesn't have an ignition button, but just a key turn ignition?

[@thecollegepicker]

What model and year and country do you live in?

[@Pre-Expatriate]

@@thecollegepicker USA it's a 2012 Prius C

[@thecollegepicker]

I would do the same thing by turning off all electrical drawing things then turn the key ignition. Is it confirmed your battery is low? Can you start your car with jumper cables hooked up to another car?

[@Pre-Expatriate]

@@thecollegepicker Thanks! Battery is not low. I just replaced it not long ago. Sometimes it starts but sometimes it doesn't. All the other electronics work properly. I think it's the starter motor maybe.

[@lovedieselpictures]

Once you replace the 12v and it still won’t start what then?

[@TheBeliever-vu8wc]

Thank you so much for your helpful tip brother. God bless you.

[@alext8828]

Since the 12V controls everything related to the big 200V battery, it needs to supply a constant, solid voltage to all the sensors and relays. It is the first place to look when you have trouble. It can stop your car in mid-flight. It's also too small for all the things it needs to do. The electrical portion of these cars is, as you might imagine, complicated. That 12v battery powers all of it and your headlights and all the things on a normal car. The power windows, wipers, and all that. That stuff is a heavy electrical draw. Be smart. buy a jumper and leave it in the back. And get a good one. My Harbor Freight one is very marginal. It was cheap.

[@tormenthardcore]

Same issue, but i don't get that "AUX BATTERY LOW / PARK IN FLAT PLACE" display. Same everything else though. Gonna get the aux battery checked first thing in the morning though. My Prius is a 2014 with 196k miles... it serves me very well otherwise though, and runs as it should. I love Priuses and when it comes time to get a new car, i'll just get another Prius.
