    Mr. Mendel I installed a new master cylinder because changing the booster pump and accumulator did not prevent the pump from running every 14 seconds. Now the new master cylinder emits a chirp [sort of a whoop sound] most of the time when I touch the brake pedal. Have you run into this problem before ? I think the Toyota dealer should exchange it for me.

      changing the head gasket did not help ! [smile] That was a separate problem, of course !

      Did dealership install? If DIY’d, that muddies the waters some. May spring for them to do an assessment? I know…

      Yes, I did all the work myself; brakes and head gasket. I can feel the vibration in the red brake line. I will try damping it. THANK you for your help. Our retirement village has been built and maintained mainly by Canadian SnowBirds !

    Hey Chapman this is Bryan from the U0293 post I’m having the same issue again code U0293, I wanted to see if there’s more issues I’m not aware of related to this could the 12v charging circuit cause this?

    Jim. Someone here on PriusChat forwarded me your profile, as you're in E. Stroudsburg and know of a certified Toyota Tech. If so, would you mind sharing his number with me? I need to get my blower motor replaced as it's dying.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    The climate control blowers are not blowing (outputting) any air at all. Don't appear to be firing. That's as of this morning. They might start working again, which has happened a few times.
    All of this leads me to believe that the fan motor is dead, jammed,etc.

    The cabin air filter - even if clogged - wouldn't stop the blowers from firing, and I would surely hear them, but, I'd have little to no air coming out.

      20k miles?? That's the thermostat right next to the water pump (engine coolant pump)? Did you do a coolant change as well? Not sure: check all connections, and that doesn't work turn anything up get the codes read?

      I just noticed this message. Maybe there is some air remaining in the engine coolant loop, causing the engine to overheat?

    I just bought a used Gold Certified 2020 Prius Prime, with 76K miles. Learning curve should be faster going from 2010 Prius to Prius Prime.

    Mendel, I've been on here for years and have benefited tremendously from your sage input and generous sharing. Thank you so much for all of your outstanding contributions over these years. Because of you (and others....but I have learned to certainly trust you) I've become quite a decent DYI'er on my 2013 Lexus CT200h.

    WOW, Mr. Sdolla86 ! One of my pen names is PopCorkOff. I live in Sebring, and just this morning my 2013 Prius gen 3 blew coolant fog out of the exhaust AND my water level is low and the oil is milky so there is NO Doubt i have a blown head gasket. So maybe Mr. "Go To" will help me know where to buy a head gasket kit to repair it.

      I did engine overhaul in high school back in about 1957. Now I have new brakes, new tires, newly wheels alignment, and only 203,000 miles on it ! I had 260K on our '05 Prius when it started oil-fouling #3 plug.

      This fouled #1 plug last Friday Aug 23, and I changed the plugs on the 24th. No improvement. We drove it about 10 miles - should have checked the coolant reservoir.

      How are you doing on your fix ? I met a fellow Chat member who lives near Ft. Lauderdale - Dave; he encouraged me on my brakes master cylinder, AND he had to put in a new head gasked in his car. WE CAN DO THIS ! ! !
