Because of its small capacity of 44Ah, it is important to keep it charged up if not regularly using the vehicle, at least once a week. I plug in the AC hook up every week ,with a dehumidifier running inside as well when not using the van after the roads have been gritted or a foot of snow as we have now.

Check with your conversion company to see what battery they installed. It has to be low enough to clear the underside of the seat, I guess it is raised up slightly with a swivel base. If it is a CampervanCo conversion they installed a Red top AGM battery in mine.

You don't need to power down the HV to clean the Hybrid ECU. From the description of what is happening and the lights it looks like a HV battery issue, one bad block is all it takes. If the capacity of the block reduces, it will charge up quicker then discharges quicker than the rest. You also have a HV battery temp warning on and a motor generator temp warning on as well, is the HV battery cooling fan on max. Check behind the front passenger seat forward trim in the footwell for water, the HV battery ECU connector is there. You need to get a code reader to find out what is going on.

Finger trouble!! just replace the bad pair of cells. A few hybrid battery repair companies around that can test and repair your battery.

Hi, I presume it is, a better performing with smarter charging than the gen 2. You have to replace all the modules within the battery. The battery is only as good as the weakest cell, so you could

A power seat mechanism and side lift-up mechanism are available on the left side of the captain's seat as a manufacturer option. Approx dimensions; Ground to floor - 52cm Rear door lower opening trim to top of rear opening - 120cm As Rojie has already mentioned the tail gate hangs down a bit when open

If you are removing the engine ECU to clean the contacts and harness connectors, the hybrid ECU is the box forward and at right angles to it. While you are in there, it would be worth cleaning those contacts /connectors as well.

They are on facebook which gives you some idea of the different work they do plus reviews.

Try AME vehicle service & repair - Insch aberdeenshire. I use them for my 2003 hybrid great service, I am about to get them to change the rear trailing arm bushes, I usually provide the parts.

If the 12v battery, most likely the engine ECU relearning the idle settings after battery disconnection. Also you will find the drivers door window controls for the other doors won't work, you need to lower and raise each window by its own door switch first.

Initial engine start by turning the key uses the Hybrid motor in the gearbox. Subsequent engine starts uses the starter/generator driving the toothed serpentine belt on the front of the engine. Check the belt first, also the tensioner, water pump, aircon pump, idler pulley and crankshaft pulley which are all connected to the belt.

I have an ICarsoft reader for the early toyota, 2003 hybrid, and techstream. Techstream gives far more info and is easier to read live data. However I find if the Hybrid system has gone into safe mode, or worse, neither can communicate with the ECU. The early models communicate through the OBD port on the J line to the engine ECU, the canbus is very limited.

C1213 - The skid control computer communicates with the hybrid control computer and controls the braking force in coordination with the motor regenerative operation. Reception or transmission to or from the hybrid control computer is not possible. Check the sub code on the data page, could be 152, 153 or 154. This is not necessary a fault, if there is an issue with the hybrid system it stops talking to the other systems. P1636/81 When communication from the Engine Control Computer with the hybrid vehicle control computer is lost Possible issues - Wire Harness or Connector or computers P3002 - When an error occurs in communication from the hybrid vehicle computer to the battery computer ASSY Wire Harness or Connector Hybrid Vehicle Computer Battery computer assembly As the hybrid computer seems to be the common issue I would check all the connectors and harnesses on both the ECU, hybrid computer and battery ECU for damage and water ingress. ECU's are located behind the passenger stowage box and the battery ECU under the passenger seat, connector accessible behind forward trim. I can give you the connectors and relevant pins to check for continuity of each harness. Interestingly on P3002 fault diagnosis the first check is to "Stop operation of all aftermarket vehicle products or electrical products brought into the vehicle." then check if the fault code reappears. attached images are for P3002.

If the light comes on, when you stop check for codes before turning the engine off.

The inverter/converter is very well sealed as is the battery. I would look at this as two separate issues to start with. Do you get any warning lights come on? Is the 12v aux battery good, full capacity and holding charge? When trying to start can you hear the Hybrid relays click from under the passenger seat? Have you checked for any jobd fault codes? Low power could be the engine or the Hybrid system sensing an issue and going into safe or limp mode, engine revs more especially at low speeds. I presume the water leak clear water and not coolant!
