That's awesome. Toyota reported the battery was dead and wanted $4457 to replace it The owner decided instead to replace failing cells on his own, but testing of individual modules showed normal voltages. He cleaned the severely corroded copper connectors, the error codes disappeared, and the battery pack was now fine.
