2400 watt inverter in the hybrid not turning on.

[jimmyzshack]

I was doing some testing and the inverter shut off and will not turn back on now. you press the 120v button lights up for a sec and turns off. anyone know how to reset it? i've tired

disconnecting the battery for 5 min. can't tell for sure which fuse under the hood it is, i'm guessing the 200amp one on the left side but it's not blown.

Fuse box lid not labeled in these?

I can only find an empty fuse spot for the 400 watt inverter. I can't find one for the 2400 watt inverter, but there are two 200amp fuses and i'm guessing it's one of them but they are not blown.

I'm wondering if the 2400 watt inverter runs off the high voltage battery instead of the 12 volt side as you can only get the 2400 wall inverter with the hybrid system.

Interesting.

Maybe look for Tacoma Hybrid fuse diagram?

It's been in the shop since may 8th. They said hybrid ecu fault. take that with a grain of salt as it was the service advisor that said this. part i believe was put in Monday but i have got no update just saw they put 30+ miles on it. everyday i see doors opening and windows down. going to go up there tomorrow if i don't get a call. got a camping trip next week, and this highlander isn't going to do it. they have had it longer than i have.

Week 3 still in the shop. I really hate dealing with service advisors, they can ever tell me jack. They change the hybrid ecu, some circuit board on the battery, and sound like now they are waiting on and inverter (probably a converter since it steps down 288 volts dc to 120 ac) positive note is they did put us in a base landcruiser and had no problem with us towing the camper for memorial day weekend.

I'm having my doubts about the power 2400 watt claims on the inverter. Even in this landcruiser it would only charge our bluetti power station at 1100 watts for about a minute and would shut down. Had to set it to 300 watts for it to continue to charge it. Power station is the ac180

I've been using the 2400W inverter to charge an EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus, and the most it seemed to put out was about 1400W, and it has in incredibly loud fan running the whole time. See my post about that here.

I am planning to install one of these EcoFlow 800w Alternator Inverters and skipping the Toyota 2400W inverter entirely. They are on sale right now, and I ordered one yesterday. I confirmed with EcoFlow that they don't have a fan and make no noise at all.

I'll share my results once I receive the EcoFlow Inverter and get it installed.

did yours actually output 1400w for any length of time? it would only do 1100w for a min and shut down on the land cruiser one. i didn't get the fan noise when i stepped the charge rate down to 300w.

I already use a dc to dc to charge the battery bank in the camper when traveling. i have 6400wh of batteries in there.

i don't know what size the dc to dc the 4runner is using since it doesn't have an alternator.
