Hi all, When driving with more than 100km/h this message flashes on the screen. Do someone knows why? Thanks
You got warning lights? If so you have error codes pointing to the specifics of the problem. In general you either have a shifter that's malfunctioning or the system has recognized a problem somewhere and putting the car in neutral for safety. Please provide way more details about this symptom and when/if it goes away, as well as MPG, vehicle miles and history?
No warning lights, I used a mobile to record video of the screen, message is very instantaneous. As I said when driving, so it is in D not N, and more than 60 miles speed
So when it goes into neutral, then what? How do you get the car working again? Or has it been stuck in neutral ever since?
Or is the car just continuing to drive along nice as you please, and therefore clearly not in neutral at all, but just unaccountably displaying a message about what happens in neutral?
This message will appear if you turn on the "D" mode and open the driver's door even at low speed. I don't think you want to leave the car at 100 km/h, but the door locks should be checked.
Yes It happens only over 100km/h speeds, running smoothly, but the message flashes on screen. Sometimes with a red triangle...
Are you seeing any other flashes on the dash? Like the door ajar warning? Maybe the small button sized sensor that detects the door open/shut is acting up. I think I've read previously these sometimes become intermittent and can also cause 12v batteries to drain from interior/door lights staying on
No other messages, driver's door will be checked asap. a while ago it was giving a message that the steering sensor was having a problem but it stopped. I don't know if it's related.
We had a Mazda with an intermittent failure of the driver's door sensor. Among other things, if the dome light was in the "door" position that light would flicker on and off while driving. On a Prius it might just give the warnings the OP has noted. I have never tried opening the door at speed - it wouldn't surprise me if the car put up a red triangle in that scenario. It wouldn't hurt to check the voltage on the 12V battery when the car has been off overnight. If the battery is on death's door it might be loading the 12V part of the car enough to cause glitches. If the car is in READY and the 12V voltage is checked and it is continuously high, like significantly above 14.1V, that indicates a weak 12V. This can be done with the car in Park in the driveway, for this particular issue the inverter doesn't much care if the car is moving or not. Is the appearance of these gremlins correlated with poor road surfaces, pot holes, speed bumps, and the like? That suggests a poor contact - somewhere. It could be in a wire, but it could also be on a circuit board.
It's in the door jamb, right around the area where the door fastens shut. Should be a black rubber button, if I remember correctly.
You're looking at the edge of the door itself. Look at the body B pillar area where that edge of the door ends up when you close it.
Yes I found that, I unscrewed it and checked it. Works fine, no signs of something loose... I will check tomorrow if the door ajar appears with the message. Thanks
Finally, after checking all doors, hatch and hood: the hood when locked has a 2-3mm tolerance and this obviously causes the air to push it up. So it's justified because it only happens when I'm running at 100 km/h and above.
