Separate names with a comma.
I've owned a 2004 Corolla, 2008 Camry SE, 2012 Prius Plugin, and a 2018 Prius Prime. I feel like I can say with some authority that Toyotas are...
If Toyota buys it, I'm all in. I'm not buying a new laptop to replace one that works fine to compensate for Toyota's poor engineering choices....
The voltage drop is slightly different between the outlets, but not by much. IIRC, about 0.3v. They are separate circuits, so they can't be...
Could be, but it would have to be something that is common to both outlets and to the other Primes the tech tested.
I don't know, but we know for certain it is happening somewhere between the fuse and the wire connection to the back of the outlet. The voltage at...
I mentioned this to the Field Technical Specialist. His answer was, "The owner's manual doesn't say it will supply 120 watts while you're...
Exactly. That's where Toyota messed up on Gen IV. Judging by the observed resistance, they're using 20awg or smaller (depending on how much of the...
That's what Toyota has now, and that's what they flubbed on Gen IV. Technically, that by itself wasn't a flub, but allowing the combination of...
They're gonna have to have something to supply 12v (or 120v AC) to accessories if they want to sell cars. I don't think people will be willing to...
I appreciate all the responses trying to help, but I'm really hoping for some insight into Toyota's choices here. Does anyone know what advantage...
Thanks. This is likely the route I'll go to avoid trying to run wire through the firewall myself.
75W. The outlets cannot put out more than about 65W and stay above 11v. At 75 watts the voltage drops below 11v which triggers the low voltage...
Ohm's Law is what makes their choice seems bizarre. Decreasing voltage AND wire size at the same time is a double-whammy on the capacity of the...
Because moving to smaller wire and decreasing the voltage of the 12v system means I can't use the 12v power outlets to power my laptop. When a...
Because of a long-running ordeal with my 2018 Prime, I've discovered that Toyota intentionally designed Gen IV Prii (Primes included) to reduce...
For those interested. [IMG]
Thank you for that info. The flaw in Toyota's logic is that the ECU is measuring the voltage at the ECU without accounting for losses due to the...
They finished looking and see the voltage drop I see and claim that the vehicle is operating as designed. The voltage loss is by design and with...
Well, Toyota regional contacted me about my arbitration case and asked if they could send a Field Technical Specialist to inspect the car. It's at...
I cannot understand how they can have supply problems for this long. It's a 12V battery FFS. How can it be an issue for months on end across North...
