Very cool, glad you found it! My guess would be that IGCT stands for Ignition Contactor? The IGCT relay also seems to be referred to as the...
Very cool, thanks for saving these! Glad that Norm put them out there before closing up shop, but still sorry to hear he's done.
Are you sure the "P Lock Malfunction" warning on the dash isn't the real culprit? My understanding is this can be related to a real problem...
Unclear on the question. I would assume this is the same as previous years, which uses solar cells embedded in the roof to power the ventilation...
I don't think its surprising that the Hybrid Interfaces BMS+ approach was never widespread, as it was essentially a controller design, not a...
Sorry I can't be of more specific help, but my understanding is that modern drum brakes are "self adjusting" so as to maintain good contact...
I would definitely double and triple check that the orange safety disconnect on the HV battery is completely seated and closed (and that you know...
FWIW here are some numbers from our PV system installed Sept 2012. (Smith Family Solar 5.520kW | Monthly) We kept installed costs as low as...

I know that charging/cycling the whole pack with something like the Hybrid Automotive charger can be good for helping re-balance an existing pack,...
The problem with diesels that I've never gotten a good answer to is this: Depending on the source, about half or more of a barrel of crude oil...
Moreover, as far as I know the standard Prius does not use any sort of adaptive capacity calculation. While the total battery capacity may...
Yeah, even a used PiP is unlikely at the OPs ~$14k price point. While its not the cheapest car you can buy, its worth noting that the Prius...
FWIW the myth that the Prius looses its advantage on the highway is pretty common amongst folks who have no real understanding of the technology....
Yeah, the AC compressor is on that side and is run of the HV battery. But as long as the car was powered off (ie not left in "ready' mode") there...
It certainly looks like the heat was concentrated on the passenger side of the engine bay toward the bottom, as the steel bumper on that side...
