2024 Tundra i-FORCE MAX Hybrid – Won’t Start My 2024 Tundra i-FORCE MAX was driving normally, then suddenly stopped and displayed “Hybrid System Malfunction.” The READY light now blinks but never stays on, and the engine does not start. The truck powers on but cannot be driven. I charged both the 12V and hybrid batteries, and the Hybrid System Malfunction disappeared temporarily. However, after the battery discharged again, the same problem returned. When I press START, I can feel vibration from the engine/motor as if it is trying to start, but it never actually starts or reaches READY mode. A diagnostic scan showed no obvious fault codes. Has anyone experienced this? What could cause the engine/motor to attempt starting but fail to enter READY mode?
