Keith S. Hallelujah. My car is fixed. Turned out to be the Transmission Control Module after all. I was able to pick one up for $65 at a local pick a part in California. As soon as I connect the new one, the car came back to life. No more codes, flashes, hybrid battery charges with no issues. Learned a ton about the car and how the hybrid system works, etc. Glad to have my car back....thanks for your help......

 

Very glad to hear it. On Thursday my '03 lightly shuddered as I was decelerating at 25mph prior to leaving the neighborhood. Engine "braking" regen immediately dropped to zero and accelerator just revved the engine. No lights came on. Pulled over, parked and cycled through the gears - nothing worked at all. I suspect my CVT belt broke. Much sadness.

 

Ouch..sorry...does that mean you will have to rebuild the transmission?

 

Rebuild or replace.
