In this Service Done Right video, Nate Fink tackles a no-start issue on a 2021 Toyota Prius. The customer had reported power loss and warning lights, which led to a P0A80 trouble code indicating a hybrid battery problem. Instead of rushing to replace the battery, Fink walks through a systematic diagnosis using Mitchell 1’s ProDemand repair information, powered by the advanced search engine, 1Search™ Plus, which delivers targeted info in easy-to-read “cards” that match a technician’s workflow.
By tracing the cooling system and testing circuits, the issue is narrowed down to a corroded relay in the cooling pump circuit, not the hybrid battery itself. Replacing the faulty relay restores system voltage, clears the code, and gets the Prius back on the road.
