    Does the $15 access allow you to just view the files, or can the entire service manual be downloaded and saved to your computer?

    You can download and save the files on your computer. You just have to do them one at a time. There are 20-30 of them (I haven't looked as they don't let foreigners pay for the service so the number is speculative).

    Service manual is in an SVG format that must be converted to PDF using a PDF Converter (Open source versions are freely available). There were so many pages/sections that I chose not to take the time (NCF was bad enough).

    Other manuals like the electrical wiring diagrams, owner's manual, etc. are already in PDF form and if saved in the same directory, will link to each other. They must still be viewed and saved individually though.

    Toyota usually offers a hard copy manual, but you'd better be sitting down when they quote you the price. The GII complete manual was in the $400 range.

    Wow, I remember ordering a shop manual for cars I bought in the 1960's from Helm. I didn't know they were still in business?!?

    Having replaced the laptop disk drive, I've got enough space to handle the download. This weekend is coming up ...

    The Bentley book isn't bad for the second-gen, although it
    necessarily leaves out some of the deep inner obscure stuff that
    would make it four volumes instead of one ... no clue how long
    it'll take them to get the equivalent for the 2010+ written.
    It takes quite a while because they like doing all their own
    photos of parts and procedures even though much of the book
    is reprints of Toyota info.

    If someone will get those manuals from TIS, could you please upload them somewhere to have them all of us?

    10-15USD is almost free.. I have Prius II, but I would like to see from my curiousity where's a noticeable difference in schematics and if they use the same parts on some ECU's.

    Uh, that would be copyright infringement, in fact, digital copyright infringement. You -might- be able to get away with that in Romania, but not in Canada, and ESPECIALLY not in the US.

    You have to have a credit card with an address in the US to subscribe to TIS.

    I've subscribed to TIS for Europe, some P/N are different than US. It costed me 15EUR for 24h and I have everything/all the documentation from Prius 2007, including service manuals, schematics, wiring, P/N's, connectors and relay. That's not a problem with copyright if you put them somewhere outside PriusChat forum (ex. RapidSHare and so on). I do the same with the music, movies and all.. nobody will put you in prison for sharing information..:D

    I signed up for the TIS account, but can't find the electrical wiring diagrams. Where did you find the pdf files?

    Lawyers for Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the Minnesota mother of four who was hit with a $1.92 million fine for illegally downloading 24 songs on P2P network Kazaa, is asking a federal judge to either significantly lower the decision to $18,000 or grant a third trial, The Hollywood Reporter writes. “Such a judgment is grossly excessive and, therefore, subject to remittitur as a matter of federal common law,†Jammie Thomas-Rasset’s attorney reportedly told the court.

    Well.. that's America..:)

    In Europe, I keep on my home computer Windows, Photoshop, OrCAD and so on without license, about 20.000 of mp3's (and I listen to them every day), including all MJ albums.. about 2-300GB of music, movies and software kits. I use torrents (everyone use them) or oDC for sharing and downloading different things. Nobody put you on prison only for having those on your PC.. but if you sell the information, share illegal information, make illegal copies of CD's, DVD's.. you may have a surprise (something like jail maximum 2-3 years, or a big tax, about 2.000USD to 10.000USD in most extreme cases). I will NEVER buy a license on my PC, although I've buy some Office applications for my Nokia E61i Symbian phone.

    Anyway, I'm like a preast: I encourage you to pray at God, but I don't recommend you what I do home..:D

    When viewing various diagrams, go to Print one and it'll send a generic PDF for the section.

    The nice thing about the EWD's is they're interactive (you can select a source, see where it leads, ground points, connectors, etc.)
