Caution / Notice / Hint

HINT: 

• If the vehicle is left with neutral (N) selected (parked or stopped) for a long time, the battery cannot be charged. In this case, the SOC may drop below the lower limit and DTC P3000-00 may be stored. (This is not a system malfunction.)
• When the engine cannot be started, DTC P3000-00 may be stored because the HV battery cannot be charged.
• Repeated engine start checks may cause the SOC to drop, resulting in DTC P3000-00 being stored. In this case, charge the HV battery using the THS charger.
• Cranking the engine once causes the SOC to drop approximately 1%.
• Charging the HV battery once (10 minutes) using the THS charger restores the SOC approximately 2%.
• Charging the HV battery using the THS charger takes approximately 10 minutes when the battery temperature is 25°C (77°F) or approximately 30 minutes when the battery temperature is 0°C (32°F).
• The THS charger is a supplemental charging device that enables the hybrid system to start (READY-on state).
• If the result of this inspection is to charge the HV battery, clear the DTCs and then charge the HV battery using the THS charger.
