Thanks everyone for the info, give me til a bit later in the day and I'll check things out.. have some meetings and stuff to do but I'll troubleshoot and test later and see what I can find. Vlad, in that one vid you posted with the charging.. we can def hear the contactors kicking in or the...

EDIT: So I'm thinking right here??? behind the dash / screen??

and where is this pyro fuse located?? I've been looking around but guess I need to pull the factory manuals and dig.. also, everything seems fine and good voltage

Thanks for this! grabbed it and going to take a look and test some points for voltage.. like what I asked Matt above.. and from what I've seen in vids.. that battery connector is only accessible when the pack is dropped huh?? Or i cut a hole through the bottom of the floor! :p

Yeah, I've tried to charge and power up, etc with the motor disconnected (tried that this last weekend) and still nada. does basically the same thing except ISO values change. the car acts identically the same with EVERYTHING unplugged from the bottom of the battery box, motor, HV leads, etc...

Hi Vlad, Saw your post on the vid as well and thanks for the info too! Your site and links have a wealth of Rav info! Nothing happens when plugged in as seen in the previous vid I made. When attempted, its waits for a bit and does the random on & off blinking.... then BOTH flash ON & OFF and i...

So I disconnected the 12v (again) and jacked it up and went under and wacked it real good with a rubber mallet all over the front and bottom and it still just starts up, no errors... no READY :cry: I"m starting to wonder also about this "other" pyro fuse or power source the contactor can 12v...

I was looking at this and thanks for the info, however I have a BMS/ battery monitoring unit I made (some people have asked) from the dark ages/ leaf days that was re-purposed / programmed for the Rav and I pick up max/min cells, min/max temps, voltage/amps, etc.. Now while its not hooked up...

I checked that relay bank with the 4 indv fuses and the 1 - 15a Contactor fuse and its fine and getting full battery power. Yeah short of dropping the pack (which I really can't do) I'm thinking its inside or a welded unit. I smell something 'burnt" or not good / electrical fried kinda when i...

So a quick update after getting some advice on here on to try a few additional things. Some aren't convinceted its the motor and now I'm leaning that way too (looking like the contactors or welded / stuck??).. so i tried a few tests.. Trying to power up with the HV motor leads connected...

Thanks for all the great info! I really appreciate it, I just called my service manager at Toyota and he was shocked to hear about that and the motor was replaced in Nov-2020 and only has 9k miles on it so that's how much we drive it. He's re-entering the notes / motor issue now with TFS and...

Good morning team.. Welp.. I pulled the sensor and BAM! Don't know to be happy or sad but now at least I have something tangible and can work with knowing now there's coolant in the motor :cry: thing is, Toyota just replaced this motor only a few years ago (covid timeline i believe) and if...

Ok so I did a hard reset / 12v pull on the entire car.. but before I did I was getting "CHECK EV" etc and also attached is the TDP screenshot with the BMS FAULT which is strange because I've never seen it show that before, only standby. Anyways, pulled everything possible, waited 10...

I'm only posting here now the details for my issue but you've nailed a few things that have come across my mind about what the potential issues could be (I'm no stranger to EV's and systems) but I've only started to dig into my problems here this weekend really because of time and the Rav just...

I will abit later, have to run out for a meeting... taking the trusty 70d :D
