    My Power Inverter Converter has failed error code 3004, took to Toyota Dealership, If i decide to change myself is there any programming that needs to be done or just a straight swap out?

    What mileage? Did you ever did an inverter coolant change?

    In Gen2 Prius you usually replace the inverter cooling pump due to history of them going bad, but not sure if that is an issue with Prius C?

    Can you provide us with a few more details about the dealership diagnosis? The P3004 has a few subcodes on a Gen 2 to help determine problem source. I would imagine it's similar for a 2013 C. Maybe a photo of the dealership diagnostic paperwork?. I would be hesitant to immediately jump into an inverter replacement.
