Summary
TSB: Some 2016 ? 2017 model year Prius vehicles equipped with a NiMH HV battery may exhibit one or both of the following conditions after repeated driving on long downhill slopes: ? When accelerating from a stop, or from extremely low speeds, the vehicle may have a reduction in power. ? The HV battery monitor on the multi-information display continually shows one bar, indicating that the battery State-Of-Charge (SOC) is at its lowest level. The Hybrid Control Computer (HV ECU) logic has been modified to reduce the possibility of these conditions.
