I cannot get the ready light on my ct200. Push to start, lights come on but no "ready" light. the seats are not in. the rear seat is removed.. The check hybrid system light is on. How can i find out what all is involved in that system. The dealers are no help.

 

I have the same problem, I have a 2012 Ct200H with right side doors damage, It doesn't want to start all the lights are on when you power up but engine doesn't start it says CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM and "!" in Triangle. It has right side seat and curtain airbag deployed as well. Any advice on getting this car started?
Thanks in advance

 

Take it to the dealer? should be covered under warranty.

 

^^ these people had ACCIDENTS....= NO WARRANTY for repairs

Sounds like damage to the cooling system for the hybrid motor

However, I would get it towed to the dealer and call INSURANCE and PAY to have it repaired correctly

 

Hybrids have a safety system that will disconnect the hybrid battery in the event of a collision. If an airbag deployed, it's a chance this is what happened. You will need to have a dealer inspect and reconnect if this is the case.

 

There was a switch in the back of the car that was reset by the dealer. I could of reset it if i knew where it was. 1 expensive reset!!!

 

Do you know where that reset switch is? My son's car is giving us this message. Thank you.

 

Start by checking DTCs with a handheld scanner first. then report back. We need this information first.

 

Orange switch in the trunk under the foam floor. It's not a reset switch. It's just to turn off battery to rest of car.

This doesn't work. Hand held scanner will not reset anything.

This problem happens a few ways. Pulling the fuse out from under the hood can do it. Running out of fuel, messing with that orange switch. Are a few reasons. All you need is a 25 buck tech stream clone cable that can be bought on Amazon. And you done. It can reset it all day long.
