    Alright so last night I pulled and cleaned the DS O2 sensor.
    I ordered this before I found this page : Panlong Bluetooth OBD2 OBDII Car...


    To use in conjunction with the "DR. Prius" app....was this a waste of money? Can I screw up my car by using it to view and clear codes?

    I'd second that; the search function within PriusChat is not as good, and it's buggy: first search will often yield nothing, and a repeat of the same phrase works, but not that well. Just search with Google for "priuschat...".

    I dont think so? The new filter had a full rubber surround on it to the adjacent side.

    Car stalled out this morning and gave me the RToD.
    After a few minutes it started back up. With the light still on.
    It's currently throwing a POA08 code.

    No idea where or how to start.

    I found a thread talking about "P0A80" reversed 8 and 0....and it was talking about a full HV battery replacement.

    My list of codes shows P0A08 as "DC/DC Converter Status Circuit", which is a component of the inverter. At this point, you may want to perform the self-test shown in the following video:



    You should see about 14.4V on the auxiliary battery with the Ignition On. If you see something other than that, that would confirm that you have a problem with the DC/DC Converter, which unfortunately means you need a new (or used) inverter.

    Starting at 15:05 to 18:02 discusses the board you would need to get replaced.

    It's showing 14.0v even.
    Is there anything I can check or replace without taking that kind of a hit?

    I cleared the codes, could that have something to do with it?

    If the 12.6 volts is after sitting over night before you ever put it in Ready, that is a healthy battery.

    If it jumps by a volt or more when it goes in Ready, the DC to DC converter is acting right.

    Ok I'll check in the morning.
    Is it possible it could be something else?
