Clear all the codes and see what comes back. unless you have a check engine, not much to worry about. That hybrid battery will last till 280k+ miles at least.

Just turn the car on and let it run. Car will charge the hybrid battery.

When i turn car on, hybrid battery is at 1-2 bars and and car doesnt want to recharge the battery i need somehow to force it thats why my topic is here...
When i turn the car car stops and it turns on ev

Why...why why why why why WHY do you want to charge the hybrid battery? Who cares? I'm sure I have the skills to charge the batteries independently but it's a pointless endeavour. When the car runs it'll charge it as it sees fit. Why are you not running the car and letting it charge itself?

I'm a loud supporter of every GS owner having Techstream but now I'm not so sure. Historical codes are interesting if you're chasing an ongoing/intermittent issue but do not stress about them, they are meaningless now.

Car has been sitting due to transit for 3 months, further more its been sitting into repair shops for long time, it has not been driven for a lot of months , car doesnt have tyres to be driven ,and hybrid battery is at 1 bar at the moment,
i think its a good idea to be charged somehow... not sure how to do it is it available something via tech stream or not ?

As everyone else has said, start the car and charge it. If you can't start the car (bad 12v battery) then fix that particular issue. Having bad tyres doesn't stop you from starting the car.

When i start the car, car even with 1 bar decides to switch to ev mode only and thats it its stuck instead of recharging the battery... i even tried sport plus mode but same result..
Yes car was started 1000 times already but same... i need to force the car somehow to recharge this traction battery arent there any service mode or techstream mode to do that charge traction battery?

How far did you drive it? I've only driven Toyota hybrids but they'll only charge if driven over some distance.

I recently drive the car from road assistance till my parking lot which is around 1 mile.
i cant drive car in the current state with bad tyres and other issues, thats why i want to charge the traction battery.

Yes, your car is junk!

Yes, we know you are afraid of everything - you suffer from Pantophobia. You should see a specialist right away...

Yes, you need to get into the habit of flushing!

Yes, charging the traction battery on a hybrid car will refresh the bad tires with new tread. Amazing technology!

bclexus

You must turn the car's audio up to maximum level to engage the traction battery charging mode. it's in the Owner's Manual on page 401.

i think thats another one of your funny jokes...
can you be more serious ?
