I know someone mentioned a code reader. I got one to use on my wife’s car that had a maintenance nag, but didn’t say what maintenance. The day it came in, my car (Prius) wouldn’t start and then started showing the “check hybrid system” error. With the code reader, I immediately determined the 12v battery was too low and what charge it did have drained very quickly. I ran a more in depth check and got an error code having to do with the hybrid system. Searched the internet and if pointed me to a few KZbin videos for an easy fix - the drive battery disconnect wasn’t locked properly. Easy fix. I’m glad I spent the 13.99 or whatever I spent on the reader. I was going to have it towed to the dealer first business day. That would have cost me large multiples of 13.99. Get a reader. With all that going on in your electronics, I couldn’t imagine it not giving you some clues to go on. Good luck. Your problems scare the heck outa me.
@LoganDidItYT17 күн бұрын
I did get a hybrid system warning with a low 12 volt before. But, my problems were a bit more involved than that- head gasket and water pump(s). It took a few water pumps to get a good one, but it’s been good for a while now.

Hi, changed water pump on 2018 Toyota Prius 100k mileage. Before changing the pump the car was losing coolant slightly but when I changed the water pump the car is basically losing coolant on daily basis. The car is in use all day long and next day it has to be topped up. Is it because I did not bleed it properly or some other issues? Thanks
@LoganDidItYT28 күн бұрын
It could be that it needs bled, but they say these cars are self-bleeding systems. You can try putting it in maintenance mode (how to do this is in a few of my videos), let it run with the coolant cap off and heat all the way on high temp and high fan. Once the thermostat opens, if it wasn’t already open, you’ll see coolant suck down just keep adding coolant slowly. This may take a few fills. But, if you’re losing coolant and you don’t notice and telltale signs of it coming back out of the reservoir cap (this can happen with air pockets/not being bled), then I’d look elsewhere. If you don’t see any spots under your car, I’d check your oil. If it looks milky, that is where it’s going and it’s time for a head gasket.
@DARI-FARSI-TRADER28 күн бұрын
@@LoganDidItYT no visible leaks and no oil contamination either. However when heater starts inside the car it makes some sounds water flow and maybe air. And when opening the coolant tank cap in the morning it has air pressure. And thanks for quick reply.
@LoganDidItYT27 күн бұрын
Then yeah, you have air trapped. So, just do the bleeding process (it could take about 30 minutes). Then, you should be good!

My life for past month! 2013 Prius 3 one owner (me) with 250K miles and ALL same issues as yours. So… NEW head gasket kit, head bolts, timing chain, tensioner, water pump, fuel injectors, NGK plugs, Denso Ignition coils. Head spent week in machine shop for $400 rebuild & looked brand new b4 reinstalling. Thoroughly cleaned filthy intake, EGR & cooler - basically engine looked NEW once done, started and ran better than new with LOTS of power 🎉… except Death Triangle and Check Hybrid Pull Over message came back after a few minutes. Experienced Toyota dealership tech reset all and pronounced success EXCEPT he said AC pump was bad! But I NEVER touched that!! Was working fine before all this and now no AC 🙄. Took car home DEFEATED and now on way home the Death Triangle + Check Hybrid message are back. Also noticed Cruise Control no longer working. Except for those issues the engine still running better than ever and is totally smooth. Wondering if that DC Inverter thing is possible. Am hearing strange “whirring” noise coming from that area. Wouldn’t it be great if the fix was in fact covered under a “magic” warranty? Considering taking it back to dealership for one last check and asking some questions. After all of this, admitting defeat is difficult. The wife is ready for a new TESLA 😮. Even with the lites, they are offering me $3000 trade in as long as it’s running. Would cover everything I put into it with $1500 to spare. Hate giving up but it may be time?
@LoganDidItYTАй бұрын
The whirring sound seems a lot like it may be another bad water pump: if it’s coming the the passenger side area. Did you have a chance to thoroughly bleed the cooling system (they say they’re self-bleeding… but mine needed a little extra help). That whirring is similar to what your water pump sounds like when it intermittently has water then air pockets- it’s “starving” for liquid in this case. Even if it’s not overheating. You can remove the coolant tank cap, put the car into “maintenance mode” (Google how to do that), and start the car. While it’s running turn the AC off, turn heat temp all the way up and then on high fan too; after that, slowly pour in coolant. It may “burp” in this time and pull coolant down into the system. Keep adding to it until the system won’t take any more and it maintains the level marking on the side of the reservoir. Let it continue to run for about 30 minutes.

If youre buying any prius over 200,000 miles, it will need new head gasket because of how many times it heats up during each drive. Because of that, the water pump, and many other things connected to coolant system will need to be replaced. If you get the prius cheap enough its worth the maintinanace.
@LoganDidItYT3 ай бұрын
Most likely you’re right. I’d go as far as to say stay clear of most of the 3rd gen Prius. They redesigned the heads on the 4th, so they got them to be a little more reliable. Mine had 120k miles when it first needed a head gasket, and the pumps are just weak design too.
