I ran through the checks recommended here. Battery OK, Charged it up to full anyhow, as long as it was out. Inverter coolant/pump? Hmm, fluid...
Ah, OK. I used to fly through Typhoons for a living, so what I was expecting to see from the description "Watch for turbulaence on the reservoir"...
Well, battery is good. I noted the coolant in the inverter looked a little low, so topped it off. Started car, cannot see any turbulence. I...
Hmmm. NAPA tested the battery and says it's good -- in fact it teads higher AH than rated. I have it on a smart charger and we'll see what's up...

Interesting. Ordered an IR gun a moment ago, might have interesting applications in my science classes, too!
Thanks, Ed, Changed inverter coolant, trans oil, spark plugs and drive belt at 100K. Engine coolant has not been changed, good idea. Will check...

Ah, there's a thought -- and a relatively low budget solution if that's the case. I assume the easiest troubleshoot is to jack it up and see if...
Awhile back I bought myself a Gen 3 and gave the 2008 to my Son. (With Mama's V we are a three Prii family). For awhile he was getting similar...
