Separate names with a comma.
I just finished a 900+ mile road trip. It was all on the freeway, with the speed limits about half-and-half 65mph and 70mph. I am posting the...
The A/C control is quite a bit more complicated than cycling the compressor off and on. The ECU watches several temperature sensors as well as the...
Search for "Reverse Beeper".
I will hate myself for asking, but why do you want to do this?
When the valve is changed, the refrigerant charge needs to be removed using s vacuum pump. The drier removes moisture from the system, and should...
This is an idea that gets a lot of posting time, but is not correct. My ScanGauge says that the battery is being charged during S1, not...
So you can get 68mpg going 75mph or faster? We need you to post your driving system.
I have to disagree. The regeneration systems (according to Toyota engineering) is responsible for about 1/3 of the efficiencies in the Prius. The...
Probably most of us have been driven away from other boards because of incessant trolling and flame wars. I personally like (and appreciate)...
Please, not the "Full Battery" torture!!
When the engine turns off, you are in a glide. You usually try to use the battery energy as possible, but, especially with a plug-in, you can...
I am thinking I will get a plug-in when Toyota gets the battery up to 25+ miles. Until then, just a G3 hatchback.
My current mileage is just under 70mpg with 175 miles on my current tank. I had it up to 73mpg but have been plagued with a series of short trips....
While this is an often stated concept, it is incorrect. The battery/regeneration/Synergy system control represents about 2/3 of the cars increased...
Actually, it is four temperature sensors. The battery cooling fan is variable speed and is controlled by the ECU, which monitors the battery temp...
This is correct. The thermostat closes around 115F, at which point cabin air is used to cool the battery. It will eventually come to an...
The engine will not go into EV mode until the coolant temp is around 110F, and then it will not be consistently available. Above about 130F, glide...
The drier should have been changed also. You might check. The charge would have been removed to change the TxV....check that they put enough back in.
Since the battery uses cabin air for cooling, I do not see how the outside temperature would be a factor. Not using A/C would seem to make things...
Someone that knows what they are doing could probably get one for a lot less from a wrecking yard. Underline "knows what they are doing".
