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

Here are some pics from testing... So to me, they check out OK? Also the battery compartment underneath was very clean / water tight. Nothing seemed wrong..

Well its about that time for our Rav to wig out now (and it has a beautiful factory Pearl White paint job too) but the wife was just 7 houses down the street at her parents, started it up, was pulling out of the driveway and it just wigged out with the dreaded EV error and take to stealership...

I'll post some pics in a bit.. haven't tested that so fingers crossed but when i did see once "unable to start HV due to charger error" or something like that....

Sounds like a good time!! :D NOT! This is starting to remind me of the good'ol Leaf days and hacking, etc. except I wasn't planning on diggin back into this with the Rav... Ohh fun.. if only the wife didn't love this thing sooo much.... (plus it has a new factory paint job only 3mo old)...

I might hit you up on some of that info once I get the charger out and take a look. Hopefully its the charger fuses... fingers crossed

Gonna bump this.. I also have the BMS 071 / charger issue probably. Gonna start digging into mine and this is good info to have. Thanks team..
