You didn't say how many miles on her, but I'm betting your model has the Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) traction battery. These are the classic...
Normal.
The only one that affects MPG is temp. The more heat you need, the lower the MPG. Heat comes from the ICE, which is burning gas.
Yes, I have used that one on two Gen 4 Prius with good results.
Wait until it becomes a problem. When you do the bypass it will increase the time to warm the cabin because the coolant is not being heated by the...
Our first Prius was a 2005 Gen 2 with NiMH. We kept it 10 years and put on 145K miles. Toward the end, the battery would not maintain state of...
I use these EcoGard filters from Amazon in my 2016. [ATTACH]

I'm going to guess that at some point during boosting, the Red/Black (Pos/Neg) leads were reversed and you fried the electronics.
You're misunderstanding the statement above. You can't move a car without generating torque. The hybrid synergy drive always "generates torque" in...
I can't see how the coolant bypass is "defeating a pollution control device" since you are not altering the CAT or the flow of exhaust gases in...
Yes it does, but then he would need someone holding the brake pedal/emergency brake to keep the car from moving while another person checks the...
There was never any recall, just the TSB that explained the symptoms to look for and remedy (replace the forward CAT with the heat exchanger)....
I trust Toyota has plenty of failsafes built-in. They've been building battery hybrids for over 20 years.
C'mon man! It means, the car/computer thought it was necessary to disconnect the hybrid synergy drive, hence shifted to N. And now since there is...
You can block ads on PriusChat with this "tool", Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File. It replaces the hosts file, so you need to be...
