so if the 'drivetrain' doesn't turn the generator then there's no charge to the high voltage battery which could lead to a dead car? damm. so I gotta get it fixed. I was hoping that I could bypass the REx and just live off the electric battery.
Also the more I'm researching ... it seems like I can still drive the car just not when the Extender kicks in... if the drivetrain fails because that is failing on the engine part not the electric battery.. or am I mistaken?
things led to me high voltage connector replacement? not sure the cost or if it is possible to do on my own. saw some YouTube vids from Shaun Dobble. looks like a lot of work ...might have to go to the dealership.
It's a 2015 REX. Below are the results from the scan. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
