Need help with the blocks on the hydrid battery they run from the driver to the passenger side or the other way I get a message the blocks 6, 7 and 8 are bad but I haven't found anything showing me the diagram of the battery.
When you open the battery, look at the sense wire colors.
Should give you a clue. Haven't opened mine in a very long time (do it once ), but that's how I figured it out.
Which module in the pair (a block is monitored as two modules in series) is bad will be up to you to find out.
As usual, check all the modules and rebuild it proper - whichever way you decide to go. Plenty of info on the topic - here, priuschat (primarily), other sources. Do your research - no easy way around it. Keywords - load testing, balancing, capacity matching, cycling, rehydration (if you wanna go hardcore).
