Separate names with a comma.
The simple answer is no, the Prius cannot be driven as a conventional gas car with a completely dead traction battery. The traction battery also...
Without DTCs we're guessing. If you're going to be working on this car, get a MiniVCI or equivalent. You may want to check the 12V battery...
Hah! Good question. I haven't found anything. You don't get that for $20. I found a couple of tutorials on YouTube, minimally helpful. You...
What Patrick said, not only for diagnostics but also for testing, monitoring, maintenance, and even customizing. It's not the most robust tool,...
It's the intake air resonator. Here's one on eBay.
You can buy them new on line for the low $300s, used for around $70, maybe less. Looking at the wiring diagram, it doesn't look like it would be...
Welcome to the forum. Go to Toyota's site and make sure your car is up to date on the recalls. It may be worthwhile doing a Carfax check if you...
I had the combination meter go out on two separate cars and that's definitely not it. Sorry, that's all I can add. Good advice above so far....

My '98 Outback with the 2.5L is a very hard spark plug change. Yep, the Prius is a snap for many routine tasks. Flushing brake fluid and...
If your brake fluid is in bad shape (is it darker than honey?), you could have air in a line causing the brakes to be way out of adjustment. I...
Here's a related thread, and there are others. Have you tried driving another Prius? Make sure the seat in the one you just got isn't broken.
(Since no experts have chimed in, I'll give it a shot.) It could be a lower ball joint or an upper strut support, or tie rod end though I've...
Yep, at this point you'd better check the transaxle fluid, and coolant too.
Double check the four exhaust hangers, though exhaust pipe noise is usually "tinnier." Also have the motor and transaxle mounts checked. If you...
Will the car make the noise when it is not moving? You've repeatedly said the noise happens in gear at low rpm, but a car can be in gear and not...
