    HV battery learning values are stored in the battery ECU assembly and ECM and are used to detect malfunctions and illuminate the hybrid battery indicator light in the combination meter assembly. When either of these ECUs is replaced, the new ECU receives the HV battery learning values from the other ECU and stores them.

    NOTE:
    • Do not replace the battery ECU assembly and ECM at the same time as the HV battery learning values will be lost. However, if it is necessary to replace both ECUs at the same time, replace them by following the procedure below.
    • Do not replace the battery ECU assembly or ECM with a used one from another vehicle.
