    I have a 2010 Prius trim 2 with 1.8L. Is it a Prius 2 or 3 and which PIDS should I use. It’s very confusing.
    Thanks for your help.

    You have a Gen 3.
    As to what PIDs to install, sorry can't help with that. I guess it would also depend on what device about which you were talking.

    Parameter ID’s:).

    Normally for me they meaning I am looking at the Process and Instrumentation Diagrams;).

    But for a car, that’s what the acronym is(y).

    Yeah I vaguely recall that definition, the electrical and/or process departments were always saying that. I was in structural.

    We have a longer acronym for our electrical specific diagrams:).

    They are very helpful to understanding what is going on (y).
