service Dealer Hybrid Battery Check - what is it?

[CT200NI]

Got my CT booked in tomorrow for the Hybrid Battery health check. Just curious..

 

what exactly do they do?

 

is there a filter they replace?

 

how long does it take? 
 

new to Lexus and all this Hybrid jazz

I suspect little more than just plug in a tester into the Hybrid test port.

Any reason why you're having it done separately as it's a no cost part of the service?

So the hybrid health is done as part of the Lexus Service or you can have it done separately if you have had the service done elsewhere.

Lexus check all the Battery components and run it through checks and if it passes, basically give you a warranty on the Battery for another 12 months or 10k miles, peace of mind really and for my Lexus ls600hl it cost £60.

This will give you an idea of what is performed.

Just getting around to seeing this now. That's very interesting to read the procedure. 

I had it done at Lexus Belfast, £70 despite the app saying £50... Next time, I'll book via the app and kick off if they try to charge £70 online. 

Same issue with the local Toyota dealer here, doing various fluid changes for £75 where the app states £50. Paid it once, then the second time contacted Toyota who, after that, the dealer honoured the price.  They ended up not bothering to change the (gearbox oil) in that case, and ultimately the franchise had to refund me for the work... did it myself.  one of those, over pay, or they find some other way to shaft you... 

Hopefully Lexus (with it's usual clientele) are above such tricks
