2014 Lexus IS300h Hybrid battery swap
Переглядів 20 тис.3 роки тому
A video outlining the strip down and refit of the replacement hybrid battery for my 2014 Lexus IS300h. The car has covered 181,000 miles in 7 years. 15 years worth of use @ 12,000 mile per year in half the time. We believe that the mileage was the reason for the battery failing, it has literally worn out. Thanks to Lexus Exeter for supplying the battery and also allowing me to return to remove ...

    interesting, pretty easy do this job. Does it needs any coding afterwards??? Anything to tel ECU that battery changed? new or second hand, obviously same voltage and that but if its used maybe needs to tell ECU the mileage or something??

    Brilliant video ….. the million dollar question is …… how much was the replacement battery and was it purchased on an exchange basis? Do every dealer offer this or did you need to find one that did? Thanks again for the very professional video and explanation of everything 👍

    To add to the disclaimer: It may not be wise for an average guy with a 2-car garage to do a HV battery procedure. This man knows what he is doing well. There are literally separate certifications for mechanics working on HV components for safety of both the mechanic and subsequently the occupants and those around the vehicle. If you are confident in your skill level to handle this procedure, you'd still need to check with your local transport authorities about whether it is acceptable to do substantial HV work on a road car that the general public may come into contact with; no doubt some countries would not allow this. Above all, don't be overconfident. HV connectors have safety interlocks and are mostly as safe as reasonably possible, but it doesn't mean that they are entirely idiot-proof (or HV certifications wouldn't exist). It's 'only' 230V on this Lexus, but anything over 50V DC has a separate set of requirements in all sectors of engineering according to most work safety laws.

    thank you dude, it helped me a lot ! My 2014' IS just passed the 400k km with the original battery, and i just found a battery from a 120k km wrecked IS not so far. I hope it works as well as mine used to. The symptoms that decided me to replace the battery pack on my IS are that this year, recently, as soon as temperatures went under 0, i had twice a day the "hybrid system failure" error message with the code P0A7F and P0A80. When I start (at a traffic light for example), the vehicle takes time to launch, as if the accelerator no longer gave control to the engine. This symptom appeared a few times when I used ethanol (in the summer) in the past. Once the hybrid computer has been reset, operation returns to normal. This winter, the symptom occurs almost continuously. So I decided to replace my battery pack. If the new battery pack does not work well, i will try to refurb and upgrade my old battery pack with lithium cells... 🤖

    Hi think my one has failed at 149,000. My is300h that I use as a taxi still runs but only on petrol with engine management light on & message telling me to stop vehicle & Hybrid system Failure. Lexus want to charge me £155 to tell me what's wrong with it but reluctant to go. Does this sound like the Hybrid Battery to you? Thanks Dave

    Great video. Thanks. I have IS300H 2014 and done 95000 miles . Altough the hybrid test passed ok recently , since last year mpg is between 34 to 38 (before was around 45 to 48) .Now ,with full battery driving in EV mode is not possible more than half a mile.On board display goes from full to empty in 5 min or less . How long can you drive at low speed in EV mode with this new battery ? Is my battery close to dying ? I would much appreciate any opinions .Thanks

      I do a lot of motorway driving and the fuel consumption dropped from 50mph down to 42/43 mpg, however I wasn’t too worried about this as it was a really cold spell and normally when it goes cold the mpg drops I also got the “check hybrid system” error in the dashboard, that’s when we knew we had an issue

      No, you don’t have to remove the rear seats at all to do this job. In order to get at the vent fan for the hybrid battery you do need to remove all of the trim in the boot on the right hand side of the car

    Excellent instructions. As everyone wants to know, why did the battery die after 7 years? How long are they suppose to last? I'd hate to imagine what this would cost if getting it done in the dealers. You were very lucky that you were able to go back and recover the missing parts from the old battery before the dealer disposed of it. Well done for attempting it yourself.
