Separate names with a comma.
I had the same exact stains on the kick panel next to the parking brake. I noticed them when the car was only a couple of months old. I thought...
You're right, I don't know how the Canadian Prius behaves. DRLs are probably enough to keep the voltage high. But, since you were parked,...
Actually the voltage won't drop unless he does all of the above and puts the car in drive or reverse and the ambient temperature is above ~55...
I took it to read that 14.7 volts was the correct charging voltage for agm batteries or at least the optima and some other agm(s) at any...
I'm no expert but take a look at page 7 of the attached file (about charging voltages). If everything else is okay, this looks like the way for...
You're looking to buy a mechanic in a can. It's not going to work and it could do some expensive damage. Find the leak, fix it and get a...
I'm pretty sure you just reset the oil change reminder light.:D When restarting the car, don't touch the odo button until after making the car...
I never see the voltage drop during the winter months. It's a pretty regular thing when the temps warm up -- say above 55 or 60.
Tighten the gas cap.
If the system was charged with R134A (the right gas), the compressor was running at the time. You can't charge the system without running the...
Do yourself a favor and let the dealer fix it. It will be cheaper in the long run.
If the buttons on the fob don't work to lock and unlock the doors, it has to be the fob batteries.
Hi Patrick, I can't check these days because I don't see the voltage dropping in the cold weather. I'm pretty sure, when this 'feature' is...
I'm retired and don't drive the car on any regular schedule. When I first got the car in Dec of 08, I didn't know it was a no no to have the radio...
I haven't seen it mentioned here but if you're reluctant to put the MFD in maintainance mode because you have to shut down the car to get out of...
Hi GranDad, Thanks for weighing in with your observations but I don't agree it's a feature. If it is a feature, it's kind of lame. In order...
For the record: I haven't seen the voltage drop to 13.4 in the cold months. It was 50 degrees today and the scanguage stayed at 14 volts all the...
Hi Patrick, Thanks once again. You really go above and beyond.. I guess I can't do any more until I get a new battery. Whether that fixes...
Thanks Patrick for looking at this. However, I don't think there's any loading going on when the voltage drops to 13.4 Here's a video I made...
