Default How to check hybrid battery 2012 Lexus CT 200h

I’m looking at a 2012 CT200h. Is there a way to display the status of the hybrid battery from the main screen. I’ve seen this in the Prius. Do they have a function like that in the 2012 CT200h?
Thanks for your help.

Maybe on the display audio or nav package, but certainly not the cars without. I have not seen it mentioned here, for what it's worth.

I downloaded a common app,, dr prius. Not a clue what any of it means yet but works with my Bluetooth OBDII device.

Plenty of things on the forums, especially prius forums, explaining this.

The only status I've been able to see on the nav package is the battery charge. Like HOMER350 suggested, you can use a Bluetooth OBDII device, pretty cheap on Amazon and use apps like Dr. Prius and Hybrid Assistant which give a plethora of information.

I suggest the Carista device. Very inexpensive $30 and works with any app I've tried.
Also works with Carista obviously (with discounted rate if you subscribe for Carista). It's a good app for some customizable features even those which are programmable by "dealer only".

Carista is a very good app and I did the one week subscription to change some "hidden" settings, it worked perfectly with the $9usd generic Bluetooth device, I don't know if there extra functionality unlocked with the official Carista device, they do give you one month of free access to unlimited functionality of the app. The last time I used Carista app I didn't see an in-depth level of the battery health like Dr. Prius and Hybrid Assistant showed.

Of course $9usd means you get what you paid for, while it still works after several years, the glued cap separated and put back with a couple of drops of super glue.

My 2014 has the Lexus Display Audio package (Nav package without the nav software or the touch controller). These are the 3 screens I have access to regarding the hybrid system:

Yes, those are the same info screens that the nav package has except for the navigation buttons.

Here's some of the features for the apps I used:

Dr. Prius main screen, I believe those bars are each battery cell load


Dr. Prius menu, those battery tests are paid features


Hybrid Assistant main screen, it shows very detailed car status


Hybrid Assistant more battery info
