Hello Everyone,

What happens when your traction control battery discharges? I've heard that the car cannot start period. If that is the case, and they (Toyota in their iGuide) claims there is no way of starting it, what do they expect you to do? Is there no way to get the car started if either the 12v battery (what I thought would start the ICE) or the T-battery discharge?

You would think, since there is an ICE, that if the hybrid drive wasn't working the ICE could take control so you would not be out of luck.

Thanks,
Mike
