Just rechecked my traction battery today using the Tony Test Procedure. So today 3/24/24 my 2014 RAV4EV has 88,143 miles, the replacement battery was installed April 2018 at 52,500 miles, 6 years 35,643 miles ago. Before starting the test, the battery was fully charged. When I set the mode to...

Thank you! That's clear. I want to see how old my replacement traction battery really is. It was replaced by Toyota back in 2018, I noticed less capacity after replacement. It was replaced for the contractor...

Hi Al, I got the cable yesterday, it looks great! Now to install the S/W on a laptop and try it out. I don't know which connector to plug it in, but I suspect it is obviously on the Tesla gateway in the left rear fender well. Thanks, Scott

Anybody know if the S/W will run on Win 7? I have an old MacBook Pro that boots Win 7.

Al , I got the tracking number - thanks. I am so relieved that you have already tested these, it is one less thing that can go wrong when setting up my "automotive computer". I will try to repurpose an old MacBook Pro, that is running Win 7.

I will buy a 10' blue cable from you. I can Zelle you, how do we contact each other to exchange addresses etc.?

When my 2014 was still covered by my platinum warranty a few years ago, I had one sensor go out. I took it to the Toyota dealer and they replaced it under warranty. So far the other three are still working.

I just got a quote on a Toyota Platinum warranty, but the dealer said it didn't cover the battery. Is this true? I have 79K mi, I think the value of these policies is the risk of battery problems. My battery was replaced 4 years ago due to a bad contactor inside. I hate to pay ~$3K and then...

Yeah I called that guy too, but he told me he was told that he couldn't sell them anymore.

Hi Al, Thanks for your post, guess you got the Platinum too. I was looking at my expired one, they sent a nice little book after I bought it. I bought it Dec 5 2016 just before you bought yours, but the activation date was my original purchase date. The Platinum that I got has agreement type...

Is the "Toyota Extra Care VSA" different than the Toyota Platinum vehicle service agreement (VSA)? I got the Platinum 8yr/125K Mi agreement before my factory warrantee ran out, and want to extend it. (It has expired in May) I haven't found any local dealer willing to sell me a Toyota VSA, only...

Hi, I also bought the extended warranty, and want to buy another one. Mine just ran out this month, and I am in the bay area. Thanks, Scott

My 2014 has a similar problem. The passenger side floor mat is wet, the carpet below is soaked. My wife says she smells mildew also. I soaked up as much as I can with towels, but it is still slightly wet. I wonder if it is heater coolant? The liquid is clear, so maybe it is water. I park my...

I am interested if you still have it. My carpet has a bunch of stains on it and I need a new one. Thanks, Scott

Just checked my replacement traction battery using the "Tony Test procedure". My battery was just changed out last week at 52,500 miles on the original battery I got 135/146=92.4% at 66 Degrees with about 1.5 hours disconnected. The capacity is less than new but should last me another 5 years...

Toyota of Berkley have been testing my car this week... I have been getting many charge notifications - and I am on business travel. :D I can't wait to pick up my car, travel in the bay area without the stickers is slow slow slow.

Tony - it is the main traction battery. The service manager said the crate was the size of a Prius :lol: Wow $36K is even more than I thought. I replaced the 12v battery Feb 2016 with an Interstate Group 24F from Costco.

Toyota of Berkley called, I need a new battery. It is under the original warranty of 60,000 miles, I have over 52,000 on the battery. The battery took about 2 weeks to get. I am scheduled to pick it up next week. Scott

Note: (originally posted on Mar 26 in Toyota roadside is useless) So Saturday I decide to drive my car to Berkley Toyota 32 miles away to diagnose the EV Check Warning Message. I decide not to tow it because of the cost and my bad experience from the previous night. My wife followed in our ICE...

Note: (originally posted on Mar 22 in Toyota roadside is useless) I used this message posting to help me get going without a tow My Rav4 EV died on north 680 today near the Durham exit in Fremont after dark. I was able to coast off the freeway and onto a side street. The Check EV System warning...
