Our Shuttle Prius Broke Down.. Let’s Diagnose It Together!

2005 Toyota Prius. In this video we will be diagnosing our shuttle Prius that shut off while one of our people were driving in Jacksonville. It had to get towed in and now it won’t start. We will show step by step how we pinpointed the issue and what needs to be done to get it back on the road. Enjoy!

I’m glad you do these videos, gives people the chance to see what diagnosing their car takes, and your not just plugging in a computer to fix it.

[@seftonplayer32]

This just helped me get a customer out of heavy traffic. Same issue, 2007 Prius cut out on a main road, blown AM2 fuse. Put a new fuse in and blew straight away. Unplugged the inverter pump and drove it to a side street so a tow truck could take it for repairs.

[@r.weaver3769]

Almost thought it was a Diagnose Dan video

[@8power0]

THIS IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO SEE,,, I UNDERSTAND EVERY TEST YOU MADE AND EVERY STEP YOU TOOK SERIOUSLY I COULD HAVE THIS SEEM PROBLEM ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND I STILL WILL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THIS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE . THAT'S BECAUSE YOU STAYED ON A FOCUSED TRACK AND MADE IT CLEAR WHY YOU WERE MAKING THE TESTS . FOR A DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS THIS GOOD THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN 1080HD OTHERS THEN THAT YOU'VE GOT YOUR SELF A KZbin WINNER 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mod_incllc3235]

Good stuff. Going through in great detail is much appreciated and what is missing on most wrenching videos. Keep this type of content going and I see this channel getting huge. Quality video!

[@alexlongpre4527]

I'm new to your channel, ao I don't know if you use that format often but I really liked it. It felt more like we were there while it is happening and we are witnessing the thought process as it unravels rather than having an already done diag. explained.

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

We do a little bit of both just depending on the day and the circumstances. We liked this one as well. Thanks!

[@jameslewis1175]

Thanks man. I like the way you teach man. It's easier to absorb the knowledge from you than the others I like. Can't ever learn enough.

[@DuaneDonaldson]

Thanks for the circuit breakdown and mostly thanks for EDITing out some of the time looking around that we don't need to see, just show us the important items and locations, much appreciated.

[@Taillighttim26]

Wow that's very helpful I'm not a mechanic by trade but I do work on cars and my own racer so things like this is something I never knew about

[@RossYoungblood]

Multiple sources of information to triangulate on a fault. Love this video it’s excellent.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

What and amazing diagnostic video guys thanks so Much for sharing 👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👨‍🏫

[@GeorgeFL]

Can't wait see you guys work on fully electric (BEV) cars wearing Arc Flash Suits 🙈😄 Good job 👍👍

[@RossYoungblood]

Love your technique! I can tell you’ve debugged a lot of real issues just by how you attack investigation! Love this video!

[@Mdavied2023]

Great job Thank you! I prefer to use a light bulb to find a short but this is another excellent option especially when it's not constant and you have to drive to get it to happen.

[@101thenuke]

Top video again. I'm learning a lot from you guys. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.👍👍

[@wentzelnel7723]

Good work sir 👏

[@trublue2319]

Great video ese

[@dwightlomatska7197]

I hope you keep doing diagnoses video. I am getting a better understanding by your teaching technique.

[@Ianf1x]

Great stuff. I use 21watt bulb across fuse terminals and amp clamp but only have 2 channel scope but always get there in the end . Bright light short dim all good depending on load .

[@thesmartguy3523]

What 2 channel scope do you have ? I always recommend the 4 channel micsig SATO1104 scope

[@Ianf1x]

@@thesmartguy3523 I have a picoscope

[@Lambros_Stefaneas]

​​@@thesmartguy3523micsig, Is a gun.very good scope.

[@juansautodiagnostic6199]

For the circuit breaker, I do the same thing always us a lower Amp breaker to be safe

[@SendItBilly]

Nice

[@isalmankhan1]

Amazing never seen anything like this, really interesting & informative case study👍 Thanks for filming & sharing this one Professor😍 Stay Safe👍

[@deadtoaliveengines7432]

Nice work mate. One trick if you only have a 2 channel scope like I do would be to isolate the other things by unplugging them, had you unplugged the coils and injectors and had the pump running with the scantool this video would have only been 15mins long..

[@mikesabin8568]

Amazing channel! Love it! Cant you use a power probe hook and set circuit breaker rather than that kit with all that crap?😜

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

New subscriber. Great teaching! What does Toyota mean by "Synergy drive"?

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

Was it the AM2 fuse? I had the same. Inverter coolant pump went bad blowing the fuse. Disconnect the pump and replace the fuse. Should be able to get a short distance with it. Replacing the pump is a relatively easy process for a DIYer.

[@aymenmohamed1134]

👍👍

[@michaelt8330]

Darn it I know the answer!

[@kainoaa6397]

Can we see a full walkthrough of an evap leak diagnostic? Some of us still struggling out here LOL

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

We got you!

[@vickenkaragozian2041]

Coolant pump shorted. Very common

[@MrBeefsnorkel]

wrenched at toyota for 6 years, we saw this now and then.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

depending on the complaint if i feel its possible for a blown fuse to create the problem i check all fuses in all boxes first some of the youtubers say shouldn't be done that way. and yes i understand if its a blown fuse i need to figure out why the fuse blew. like a blower motor if it doesn't work on any speed i check fuses first if it runs on high i know motor is good. lets say i install fuse blower runs then check to see how much motor is drawing to see if thats the reason fuse blew. i see so many test and test to find blown fuse i just start there on most cases.

[@johnmitchell2741]

Is the battery still in it

[@MrBeefsnorkel]

i forgot to say typically it would be the cluster causing the no start / no run oddly enough

[@johnmitchell2741]

how many miles??

[@roxanneabbott8424]

Would an inferred camera worked to see heat as amp rises?

[@sherwoodcooke7766]

Yes it would.

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

Yes absolutely!

[@mikemurphy7519]

You need an original slogan, Lets diagnose this together is taken by DiagnoseDan

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

Lol wasn’t aware of that. It’s not our slogan. Just put it on this video. Sorry Dan!

[@Lambros_Stefaneas]

i agree 😂.

[@johnmitchell2741]

Someone tried to steel it 🤣

[@keltecshooter]

WOW, stealing Dan's catch phrase, The shame of it all

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

As we said below. We really had no idea whatsoever. It’s up to you whether you’ll take our word for it. We haven’t said it again since. Keep in mind the person who edits all videos grew up doing service advising and now runs the shops, but isn’t a technician by any means. He doesn’t just sit around and watch videos like Diagnose Dan like techs would.

[@ricardogabbiani7816]

Why it's blowing something happening this is where I need More experience because so many things connected these cars
