Interesting. Is this a plastic plug in the trunk? I also have a no start after a new 12v battery replacement. I do remember pulling a plug out and putting it back in, don't remember the color. So when you say "shift" it, like a left or right shift?wow, it's been a while =o)
i've been driving my lexus for a few months now.
anyway the solution was quite simple and took couple of seconds after some knowledgeable guy told me where to look =o)
- the red tag in the back where which i plugged back in but wasn't secured with that small piece. you're suppose to shift it to lock the thing in place.
lemme know...

All sorted. Car starts now. To be clear, the plug is "Orange" and it slides to the "right."
Hello.
I had a recent problem with my 2013 ct200h f-sport, check hybrid system on the dashboard.
I bought it used and had it for over 3 years now, it has 174000km, mostly on road now.
I was on the road and stopped half way home to spend the night by a friend, when I was about to leave next morning my the key would not start the car. I thought it was keys battery, so I got new ones and still nothing. There were no dashboard lights at all, as if the car battery was dead or something. The start button was not working when pressed, neither when putting the key fob by the start button.
So I brought it to a Lexus dealership in town and they asked me a certain amount to investigate the issue. They were able to identify that one of the "computers" was not responding properly which was blocking the car to start. They wired a by-pass to that computer to temporary fix the starting problem to make the car works so I could get back to my place and then get the car fixed in my hometown.
So I made it back to my place. Next day, when I was leaving, the car stopped 1 minute away with the infamous check hybrid system message and the engine stopped. Now dashboard lights were working, but not the engine. Got towed to lexus dealership, and their final diagnostic is that it requires to change all wiring that connects the hybrid engine to computers and battery and whatnot, the amount of labor also makes will make the price skyrocket, according to them.
Hard to believe that this car only 7 years old could have such a problem, even with that mileage. After all it is a lexus/toyota right? Isn't why we buy these cars? Reliability?
I called Lexus Case Management and it could help me any further, as they offer no coverage for that kind of problems. But to have to pay over $7k for wiring and labor, sounds too expensive.
Does anyone here ever heard of or had such a problem when dealing with check hybrid system warning?
I don't know what to do with the car now. Any thoughts? I appreciate.
THank you

It's depends on what sort of battery fault?get a scan tool and get the codes read in the system....
the car should still start even with a check hybrid system error....at least all previous hybrid models can/have that I've experienced with that message
If one battery of 28 exploded, the car will not move.
I own Prius and ct. Both are with same engine
And transmission.same maintenance.

Sounds like theres a wire that is partially connected and they don't want to look for it and rather replace the whole thing. Or, they don't want spend 20 hrs to look for the broken wire for a $200 diagnosis fee and quoted you a ridiculous price to get you out the door.Hello.

It’s the srs ecu harness it cost $2100Hi,
I have a CT200h that had a front collision and the airbags blew. Check system hybrid message is there but the car is starting and working.
I was wondering if even if the bags are blown and the codes are cleared with a diagnostics tool, would the check hybrid system stay on?
As of now, car is running but not optimally and I lose the function of changing driving modes. It runs only on normal. And I wouldnt get the good fuel gas mileage. If the codes are cleared, would the modes be activated again?
Thanks.
