Car at the dealer now. FRankly, I hope it is the inverter. They upped their service charge to a minimum of $255 to just look at the car for...
@bisco... Indeed... And then compound that with the price of the inverter. Eek. That isn't a good thing at all. :( I've done some inverter...
I saw that teardown and it was interesting. I had to fast forward through parts, but I could have sworn that the guy said they replaced the whole...
Yep, I actually had done a health check but failed to add that to the post. I found something like 3 error codes total but they were all...
Well, hooked up the Mini-VCI. It is a bit frustrating because it wants to connect to the server, which immediately invalidates the version...
rjparker: Yep... I'm kind of coming to the same conclusion as you. If you think about the power on sequence, that has some tentative support for...
Bisco: Regarding the fob... There isn't a slot. However, one of the early experiments I performed was basically what you are suggesting. In the...
Actually, a fuse (generically) is primarily to protect the generating circuit from damage or fire. In the Prius' case, there are two different...
Thinking this through.... Removing the HV access plate to the inverter won't yield any information. The HV will be zero volts there because there...
Bisco: There is a 125A fuse but it protects the LV from reverse polarity jumps. In addition to being very careful when doing the jump (paranoid),...
Bisco: The 12V LV battery replacement is pretty straight-forward, unless I'm missing something (I never claim to be an expert... rule #1 in my...

In desperation, i have tried to jump start the car again (using the fuse block positive). I looked at the MFD voltage and it is reading 13.1V but...
Bicso: Good suggestion. I've used YouTube extensively but for this particular disconnect I thought it was pretty basic so I neglected to confirm...
Bisco: Yes, the brake lights come on when I depress the pedal. The START button also changes from ORANGE to GREEN as a function of the brake...
I see this: Ogrmar Mini VCI Car OBD Diagnostic Scanner OBD2 USB Interface Scan Tool for TOYOTA TIS on Amazon Prime. I assume this is what you are...
Thanks Bisco: The OBD2 Facile software does seem to have some semblance of the car, meaning that it asks the brand (Toyota) and then presents two...
Everything here points to the low voltage (LV) battery... The car sat for 2 weeks while I was on away. I drove it once since then and then I...
Here is the latest eye-popping cost for lifetime XM, per an email I sent to them. They are up to $700/$800, plus royalty fees. *WAY* too rich...
Premature for me to really say because my car only has 45 or so miles on it but.... The MPG showing on the ODO mode is presently at 37 and...
