How do you proceed when the battery needs to be changed and the Hybrid System Warning Light turns on in a Toyota Auris Touring Hybrid?

Model: Toyota Auris E180 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Battery

If the "Hybrid System Anomaly" warning light comes on in your Toyota Hybrid, it could be a sign that the hybrid battery needs to be replaced. Before panicking, you can use the Hybrid Assistant app to check the battery status: all you need is a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to connect to the car's diagnostic port. The app will provide detailed information on voltage, cell balancing, and overall health status. If the battery is indeed faulty, you can consider replacing it with a new or refurbished one, depending on your budget. In the meantime, avoid putting too much strain on the system to prevent further damage. It's best to get a check-up as soon as possible!
