2005 Prius purchased new. Is there a way to adjust the inside and/or outside air temperature settings. Ever since I had a minor accident on right front, the inside temp has to be set WAY higher than it used to for comfort. Used to be 72-74° was fine and pretty much matched the exterior temp. Since car was fixed (several years ago, just now getting around to asking about it), I have to set the interior to around 78 instead. This, of course, messes with the automatic part of cabin air temp because of the discrepancy between inside and outside temps. Is there a way to calibrate or modify or reset what the car thinks is the temp vs. the actual temps? Thanks.
Check your sensor in the front of the radiator. There should be a good distance between the sensor and the radiator
If there isn’t anything wrong and you just want to adjust temperature offset you can do it with Techstream (Mini-VCI is good and cheap). There is offset adjustment for bought outside and inside temperatures.
Google is your friend. Search Amazon/eBay, choose a vendor that sells 64-bit drivers (so it works on Win 7 (64-bit), 8.1, 10) and one with good feedback reputation and preferably local to you (or at least in the States).
I DID google both and they referred to things that weren't clear. When asked for what something is that was recommended (get a dinglebot), it would be very helpful to indicate just what a dinglebot is and what it does and how it will help with the problem. Something like get a dinglebot from ebay, it'll come with instructions on how to straighten your framis shaft. Is Techstream hardware? software?? I don't want to spend potentially hundreds of dollars for this, hence my asking here, vs. just taking to Toyota. I see the mini-vci (what's vci stand for?) on ebay for $15, is that all I need?
Here's some general information: What is Techstream? | PriusChat For more info here in PriusChat, try googling this: mini vci toyota techstream siteriuschat.com PS What is a dinglebot? I didn't find any on ebay. PPS Hey! Who put that smiley in my post? I can't edit it out, it keeps coming back!
THANKS! The first link at What is Techstream? | PriusChat actually explained with techstream is and what the cable is for!
The forum software does that, it sees a colon followed by the letter p and interprets that as a smiley so substitutes the text for the unicode character that represents that smiley. It is annoying and if it was a bit smarter would look for a space either side before doing the substitution. Sadly it makes no difference if the p is capitalised or not. Fortunately, it doesn't change the embedded link, so it still works regardless.
