Warning indicators

The only way to really know is to have the OBDII codes pulled. These codes will tell u what the problem could be.

This can be done with a ScangaugeII, Torque or OBDII scanner. The dealer can also get them but they charge.

 

Hopefully when the codes are read they will indicate a problem still covered under warranty.

 

All depends what they find, let us know the codes before u say ok fix it.

 

These indicators, right?


Have them look for an inverter coolant pump failure, it should be under warranty.

 

Unfortunately, it is likely that the skid control ECU will need to be replaced.

 

I had the same indicators show up on my hybrid on Saturday. On Monday the hybrid battery was replaced under warranty. 2006 Prius 96000 miles.

 

You would have to know which state your car was registered in. (I could guess North Carolina, but I would be guessing)


The US hybrid warranty is 8 years/100,000 miles but several states have adopted the CARB hybrid warranty of 10 years/150,000. North Carolina is not one.

Many of those states have an effective date for the start or end of the warranty, WA starts covering with the CARB warranty for Model Year 2009, and AZ started in MY 2008, but repealed CARB after MY 2012

 

It is not under warranty at that odometer reading.

If the skid control ECU is the problem, it will likely be a four-digit repair at the dealer. An alternate approach is to have an independent install a used ECU from a salvage vehicle.
