Always disconnect the negative first and then the positive when removing the battery. Then when connecting the battery you connect the positive first and then the negative.
Well said! I was just about to say this as well. If you put your spanner on the positive terminal and accidently touch the metal work, whist the negative is still connected to the metal work, a dangerous current flows which can be enough to melt parts of the spanner and cause an electric spark that can be equivalent to a small explosion. By disconnecting the negative first you avoid this hazard.
Thanks so much. You really helped me. I could not figure out how to remove the cover under the seat to access the battery to jump start my Yaris hybrid. Thanks again.
1:38 You can easily remove them by pressing the middle part of the clip inwards with your finger, it will pop out the outer part and then you can remove it. Just something I discovered today.
I will not be using my Yaris hybrid for a few weeks. Is there a way of disconnecting the 12V battery from under the hood rather than what you show in the video?
Hi, i replaced the battery following your tutorial, but the car do not start. it shows the engine light on in the dashboard and dont start. i try with the original battery and it doesnt start either. how i can solve that???. Thanks for the tutorial btw
In case anyone else has this issue, the car wont start if the voltage isn't high enough. Use a jump pack directly on the battery under the seat. Don't short anything out.
How to register new battery? I've had empty battery, so I disconnect minus and charged. Then I connect minus, car opens, but there is no combistion engine work...a lot of leds on dashboard shine... Do You know how to fix this?
My battery was replaced yesterday. How much force is required to remove the seat? The service guy pulled up the seat at probably the wrong spot, and now the seat seems to be broken internally. 😞
Can i touch both terminals for a while to remove airbag sign removel as i tried passanger side under seat yellow plug and with seat belt rezister as well but couldn sort out the problem?
If my Toyoyta hybrid car does not start and its showing the battery sign (battery is more than 10 years old) , Is it enough to replace this 12v battery? Or do I need to the replace the hybrid battery itself also?
No just the 12v battery. Just done mine. Cost £142.95 for the battery if your car is not driveable. If it is then only £149 for Toyota to do it. Just follow the video. The only thing I found difficult was pulling up the seat (went back easily) and of course the clips broke when removing the trim which was also tricky to get back. But only took about 30 mins and fired straight up.
@@doit_vehiclesYes, it is true, but the probability of risk is when you detach(the moment of work ) the + from battery, and there is the possibility (risk) that you can touch "without wanting" a body part. If minus are disconected fron body car this risk are 0 I do it once with my mirror worktool ,ijust touch + and intercooler tube and my tools is almost meting
1. Isn't there a little hose for guiding the hydrogen out of the cabin? 2. If you had disconnected "-" first you wouldn't need to worry about touching the metal frame. 3. Toyota considered you doing it in the wrong order and placed a white plastic cover over the frame. 🤭 4. I disagree on your testing method: when there is written "CCA 272A" (left) you test for CCA 270 or 275. If there is written "DIN" or "EN" you test for DIN or EN. 5. How much longer than the original 197 mm could a battery be? Does a battery that is 40 or 41 mm longer fit in there? 🤔
The large hybrid gets charged when using the vehicle or when you leave the car in READY mode. You don’t need to do anything to the big hybrid battery. Though you do need to look after the smaller 12v battery, especially in cold weather if you not using the car often. In which case put the car in READY mode for 45-60 minutes twice per week.
Thanks very much for this video, very helpful description of the battery location. Please I need help to recharge my 12v located at the back. Any contact number for me to call as my car is stuck at home can't move. Please urgent reply

Good video with excellent demonstration of getting at the hidden battery, apart from note below on disconnecting negative first.

My 2014 Yaris Hybrid also has a gas vent-tube attached to the 12v battery... Thank you for another excellent video BTW!
Thanks so much. You really helped me. I could not figure out how to remove the cover under the seat to access the battery to jump start my Yaris hybrid. Thanks again.
If you are jump starting there is a terminal under the hood, its much easier.
@@davidboland3452 Thanks but no, there is no such thing on these models.
@@FredJanon what year yaris do you have?

Question to Toyoty engineers, was there really no place under the motor hub for this small battery?! lol
Thanks for your Video, should be registered the new battery? because now i changed the battery and car popped up shift To P ! 😐

Just switch the car on and leave it in park mode for an hour or two per day. The 12v battery will be charged and won't go down.
Congrats, great video!
I have only one question: Don't you have to disconnect the white cable in the fuse box before you change the battery?

I have the same problem. How can it be fixed?

Thank you so much for the nice video and explaining everything clearly

Why don't you remove Negarive born first and afterwards the positive ?
If you're likely to touch metal, then do negative first, in this case, it really didn't matter.
How to Clean hybrid battery fan ? Please thanks

Needs quite a bit of force. Just struggled with mine.
i did it from the side out of fear of breaking the seat
Well done, great video, guess what I drive....
Thanks for sharing your video 👍do i need a scan tool to replace a 12V battery.

?@dcornwell7130 Did you need to register the battery after swapping it?
Always on battery car first disconect negative becaus so you eliminate the probability that + touch the chasis car
true ... , but once the + is off the battery it doesn't really matter if it touches the chassis, right ? 🤔
@@doit_vehiclesYes, it is true, but the probability of risk is when you detach(the moment of work ) the + from battery, and there is the possibility (risk) that you can touch "without wanting" a body part.
If minus are disconected fron body car this risk are 0

Can you charge the large battery through the 12V? I would like to hook up my portable 12 V panel to the car
the large battery needs around 300 v

If the 12v is damaged can it cause the car not to start???
Yes. See my reply to above question.
Nice video thank you
Is the battery in the same place for camry 2019 ?
it's possible, I am not sure .
Thank you for the Video
