I think we're seeing an internal communication problem in the HV ECU, between the main processor and the communications processor(s). The HV ECU...
The heat-pump information was included in an article here months ago. I wouldn't worry about it.
Given how sensitive the car's ABS and traction control is when there's a slight difference in tyre pressure between the left and right sides of...
Thanks, Tom. My understanding was that one of the issues on Gen 3 is/was that an event sufficient to drop from regen into friction braking...
There is no idle sensor in the Prius. Idling is commanded by the HV ECU when the engine is very cold (coolant temperature below 40°C), when it...
The HV ECU to the Power Source Control ECU. The PSC ECU appears to be behind the steering wheel, behind the panel that the START button is mounted...
Funnily enough, Severinsky's 1994 patent number 5,343,970 specifically denies the method of using two electric motors as is used in the Prius, and...
The mass of a Prius high-voltage battery is about 29kg (Plastic Case Prismatic Module | Primearth EV Energy Co., Ltd. - 28 times 1,040g). We don't...

The Prius could do that too, being a series/parallel hybrid. Why doesn't it? Because, actually, running the ICE at peak efficiency would be...
P0A1D has 57 different information codes associated with it. Of those 23 are given as 'Impossible to drive' in the fail-safe chart. For nearly all...
As I understand it, catalysts are damaged by overheating, but this generally only happens if completely unburnt fuel gets to it (which then flames...
Trade-in prices aren't notably depressed on Gen 1 and Gen 2 Prius after the release of the third-generation. Right now, plug-ins only suit...
Why are you having an argument about the original post in the thread that's five months old? P3000 is the HV ECU saying 'hey, there's a problem...
