And sometimes, when talking to someone and mentioning someone else, I'll instead use the name of the person I'm talking to. The brain is a strange thing.

I wonder if it’s also why you have more likes than posts on PC.

That's a mystery to me. Must be that there are lots of nice people here.

Light comes on, I get someone to clear it, it stays off for months then comes on again. I brought it to the attention of the dealer, and he thought the electric pump near the thermos was more noisy than it should, so it was replace, the electric pump, that is, but could not find anything else wrong. The thermos and sensors are one assembly, they say, and you can't buy and replace just parts. That assembly is $1500.00, the dealer says. This has been going on for a few years now, and the car has passed the annual emissions with the light off, so maybe I should purchase one of those code readers instead, and keep checking the code and resetting if need be.

Off the top of my head, I think I go through this 2 to 3 times a year with this car. It has 483K miles on it now, which is approx. 50K per year since I got it.

Looking in the top of the radiator, I know that it has two, I never see fluid, so I sometimes I add till I see coolant, which is usually about a cup. About a cup a year. The coolant gets flushed by the dealer, every 100K miles. I am careful to only use the long life coolant that this car calls for.

I have had two 2005 Prii. The first one had these two codes for over a year, then at 276,000 miles I slid on ice into a telephone pole. I traded the old body for putting the 276,000 mile Hybrid into my new 2005 Prius with only 167,000 miles currently on the car. This car has been running for a year with these two codes being my sole codes. How important is this really? I mean my obnoxious pump sound which causes non gen 2 Prius owners to freak out is still pumping fluid fine. Is it possibly just a problem that is a glitch in the matrix for these years? Honestly running my car in 90°F+ weather or below 0°F weather never had any issues. Biggest problem so far has been dead 12v
