Toyota How-To: RAV4 Hybrid Auxiliary Battery Location and Jump Starting | Toyota
/ toyotausa
Nice video, though it would have been better if it clearly showed what the positive terminal actually looks like, because it doesn't look like any terminal I've ever used before! It's a solid blade of metal with a reflective mirror finish held in place by a plastic mount that exposes it on one side only. Hooking up a booster cable clamp to it feels really weird, because a) one side of the cable is clamped against the back side of the plastic housing, and b) the blade is so thin it doesn't feel like it has much to grab on to, and indeed it can fall off easily if you're not careful. It would also have been much more realistic if it had shown some sparking when the final terminal was connected; this is almost inevitable, and could surprise someone who doesn't know to expect it. But, this video is the only documentation I've been able to find so far on jump starting involving RAV4 Hybrids. Thanks for making it :-)
I read your text and and found out I had to touch the top of the blade. That's when I notice my other vehicle idle went down a little. Just enough to make that little spark to assure the connection was made. Success! My wife didn't have to walk to work. 1 Mile!!!
I have a 2022 RAV 4 cruiser and the battery dead suddenly couldn't open the back booth. Called Toyota they sent a technician who went through the rear door and jumpstarted the car, luckily under warranty no charges
Thanks for this video. It worked.
had to jump start my wife's 2016 hybrid, just make sure the positive clamp is touching the positive terminal in the fuse box, if your clamp is having difficulty you can pop the trunk and get access to the actual battery by just taking some plastic pieces out of the bottom trunk. The hybrid has 2 batteries one that powers the car and one for the ignition/turning on the car, the one that powers the car lasts 5-10 years, the one that powers the ignition is a 12 volt battery and lasts about 3 years, I bought a 12 v battery from the dealer for $200 you can probably buy it cheaper at autozone, you just have to make sure it has a hose port since this battery requires you to reconnect a hose to the battery. I replaced the battery in the trunk and now the car starts normally.
note: the dealer wanted to charge 400 for battery+labor so I saved about 200 in labor, but you can prob save more by buying the 12v battery from autozone or Walmart if they have it
@@cashmonyz i use a portable jumpstart rechargeable battery can i use that too in a hybrid?
@@crazylittlebigthings you could it might not fit the specific sizing in the trunk unless you dont mind it hanging lopsided on the floor board of the trunk
@@cashmonyz it’s only a size of a powerbank. It can jumpstart non-hybrid vehicles by connecting it to the 12v battery. I was wondering if that can be done too in a hybrid.
Thank you so much for this video! I just had a motorcyclist asked me if I could jump his bike with my RAV4 hybrid and we couldn’t find the connection. Your video saved the day!
Never jump start another vehicle from a hybrid. Hybrid battery is too small for this. It is only used to run the electronics of the hybrid. It is ok to get a jump start, but if somebody asks you to jump start from it, tell them that its a hybrid and battery is not designed forr this and will damage systerm.
You shouldn't jump start another vehicle with a hybrid one, unless the other vehicle is another hybrid
Engineer and mechanic here, go ahead and start a motorcycle everyday with your 12-volt battery on your hybrid, a motorcycle takes a lot less cranking amps to start than a car. Motorcycle manufacturers recommend that if you jump start the bike from a car, that the car is off, because the car will put out too many amps. I've had plenty of vehicles and motorcycles too, so I actually know what I'm talking about instead of pulling something from between the cheeks and presenting it as fact chastising another person for actually doing the right thing. You definitely want to be right when correcting someone as this spreads misinformation. I've been wrong once or twice before so I'm not speaking from a high horse. Hopefully this helps you, all the best.
Couldn't get the charge on the other car's battery to get above 11 V until I ran the Rav4 engine. After that, the other car started right away.
Thank you so much
Anybody watching this a year after strictly for the mike Vick moment?

Thank you so much video help me appreciate it 😋
So can I use this information to jump start another vehicle with my hybrid ?

Good way to fry the DC to DC converter. DON'T TRY IT!! It's not designed to start other cars.
Don't forget to say "thank you" to whomever gave you a jump.

But can we jump start another vehicle with the RAV4 hybrid? Im getting mixed answers
Yes, you can. I have jumpstarted several non-hybrid vehicles with my RAV4 hybrid. The only difference is the order of the connections in the video above, it is slightly changed since your RAV4 is supplying the power, not drawing the power. Connect the dead battery vehicle first, then expose the positive connection on your RAV4 hybrid in the fuse box. Be careful to make connection on the center of the post, with your cables as it is pretty narrow and if you have cheap cables, without a side that sticks out more, you could damage the connection. When all connections are good, start the RAV4 (I usually leave mine running while I jump) slowly increase throttle speed for as long as needed to charge the other battery to starting power.
Nathan Lynch but i cant see a negative terminal in my hybrid car
@@1nathanlynch On/under my fusebox cover, it specifically says here
"THE EXCLUSIVE JUMP STARTING TERMINAL MUST NOT BE USED TO JUMP START ANOTHER VEHICLE".
So....
No.
The warranty has been 100k or 10yrs since at least my 2007 prius. The problem is that Toyota doesn't honor it. The warranty doesn't say how bad the battery must be before they would replace it. My 07 prius with 65k mi had no power and mpg reduced to around 30mpg, but the battery management could still charge it some so Toyota said no. I had to buy it myself to get back power and milage in the high 40s. Toyota doesn't participate in the BBB so you're screwed. No honor with toyota.
Good to know. It will be interesting to see what happens with other EV and hybrid batteries. Acceptable limits should be told to the consumer and a pro-rated scheme.
There’s a little humor here that a bunch of Ning batteries can’t jump their aux battery.. I’m interested as to why they don’t have a jumpstart mode
come fare x le spiegazioni in italiano
please fix your batteries, it cant be that the car goes dead after 3 weeks sitting.
Okay okay
Used the booster battery, can't jumpstart the Rav4 hybrid. But use the same booster battery, can jumpstart my highlander.
I had a similar experience. I had to push an extra boost button on the booster battery to get it working. Luckily the device actually had such a button. My guess is that the issue is the considerable delay between the hybrid initializing all the systems that draw power and when it actually engages the starter motor.
@@mascot4950 Didn't have to jumpstart my Rav4 Hybrid yet, but with my regular ICE Mazdas the same thing happens. I have to press the booster button lets' say 70% of time I try to jumpstart them. Not sure sure if the problem resides. My guess is the detection system in the jumpstarters themselves.

Hybrids don't have an alternator like most cars with a 12-volt system. Hybrids have an AC/DC converter that takes electrical AC power and uses the AC power through an inverter to utilize battery power in your car. That is why you shouldn't jump an alternator car with one that has an AC/DC converter. Could cause catastrophic damage to the hybrid car electrical system. Is this true?
Yes. We done it and now have all the warning lights up on the dash. Grrrr. F-ing owner's manual had NO warnings. Guessing you mean the DC to DC converter (there is no AC-DC inverter being discussed in the video link you provided). The main battery is 245VDC in the Hybrid whereas the system in other cars is like 12-14VDC (and so is the auxiliary battery in the trunk of some toyota hybrid models, ie a normal lead acid car battery).
BAD video that does not describe the serious issue with boosting another non-hybrid toyota vehicle using these toyota hybrid terminals.... Must be keeping the dealers busy putting on parts. Not nice...
@ yahoo Thank Pou!
OILS OK PRESE' NT OUUYTTYYUUUUU Ok
