OK, those two controls rule out a temperature effect that would be present in all cars of this type. Can you see the armature on the blend door...
Is it very cold in your location now?
2021 is when the thread started, the test data was added to the front of the thread at various later dates. But you have a valid point. There is...
This link might be interesting to some of you. On it there are tests showing the V and I plots for some 12V battery chargers from Noco, Ctek,...
The OP could drive around for a while and then park and feel near the hub of each wheel. If a brake is dragging (or a bearing has gone horribly...
Is it? As always, one must shop for this part, and it is usually less to order it on line than to show up at the parts counter. These are all...
Well sure. But the point remains that is terrible to not charge the 12 V battery on a Prius in any manner for a period of one month. I would...
Is it rusty underneath? (Silly to put good components into a rust bucket.) Is it in good shape other than these two items?
Terrible idea. The 12V loses about .04 V/day (at least on mine) when it is off and not used. So expect a loss of 1.2 V over 30 days. If it...
Not unless you have money to burn and another car to use when that one is in the shop. The "big" expenses for fixing a 2nd generation prius (the...
Yes, call AAA or any other major roadside service and have them: 1. first test the the 12V using the jump point in the fuse box under the hood....
Seller: It's my Aunt's car, she's old and I'm selling it for her. Please meet me at her house for the inspection. (at meet, in front of that...
Torque Pro can load a set of Prius specific PIDs which gives it access to a lot of stuff. Don't know if that includes the airbags though. The...
Turn the speed down in the playback. A space heater would likely be overkill in that small a space. Why not just drive the car until it is...
So fuel line not blocked. How much gas is in the tank? Some cars have been reported to "think" they are low on fuel (because fuel sensor...
Is there gas in the car? Never mind the what the gauge says, that could be the part that has failed. In what way does the fuel pump "pump"? Did...
Understood. You should still keep an eye on the 12V voltage for a while. Since the car is new to you you wouldn't know yet if it has a large...
Keep an eye on the voltage on the new battery. If it falls more than around .04 volts per day when not in use there might be a parasitic draw....
An AGM battery with the same form factor as the OEM can be had at Walmart. The parts stores sell them too, but for more than the Walmart one....
There should be a date code on it. If the car sat for a long period of time without the battery being detached then the 25 mA or so the car draws...
