The AC charger is not com-
patible with the vehicle

Check if it is possible to charge with the AC 
charging cable equipped with the vehicle.
If charging cannot be carried out even when 
using the genuine AC charging cable, contact 
your Toyota dealer.

The DC charger is malfunc-
tioning.

If the message above is displayed when DC 
charging has not stopped operations, the DC 
charger may be damaged, so do not use that 
DC charger. Check if it is possible to charge 
with another DC charger.

The DC charger is not com-
patible with the vehicle.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Power is being consumed by electri-
cal components of vehicle

Check the following items, and then 
carry out charging again.
• If the headlights and audio are 

turned on, turn them off.

• Turn the power switch off.
If charging cannot be carried out, 
even after performing the above, the 
12-volt battery may not be suffi-
ciently charged. Operate the EV sys-
tem and wait for approximately 15 
minutes or more to charge the 
12-volt battery.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Malfunction occurred in charging 
system

Have the vehicle inspected by your 
Toyota dealer.

■

If “The Traction Battery Temp is low System put priority on 
charging to preserve battery condition” is shown

■

If “Check Charging System Close Charging Port Lid See 
Owner’s Manual” is shown

■

If “Charging Stopped Time Limit Reached” is shown

Likely cause

Correction procedure

The traction battery warming control 
is operated (



P.99)

When the traction battery warming 
control operates, the charging 
schedule is not used and charging is 
performed.
This is a control to protect the trac-
tion battery, and not a malfunction.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

System check is not completed prop-
erly after DC charging.

The EV system can not be started 
until the system check is completed 
properly. Perform a system check 
following the procedures on P.115.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

The DC charging is not completed 
within the restricted time with DC 
charger.

• Depending on the type of DC char-

ger, the timer may be set to stop 
charging after a certain time. 
Check with the charging station 
manager.

Depending on the condition of the 
vehicle, the charging time may 
become longer than normal, and the 
DC charging may not be completed 
within the restricted time.
• When the A/C, headlights, audio 

system, etc., are turned on, the 
electricity consumption of the vehi-
cle will be increased. Perform the 
DC charging after turning off all of 
the above.

• The temperature of the traction 

battery may be low. Perform the 
DC charging after warming up the 
traction battery.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning 

light does not come on

Should a safety system light such 

as the ABS and SRS warning light 

not come on when you start the 

EV system, this could mean that 

these systems are not available to 

help protect you in an accident, 

which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

immediately if this occurs.
