    I've used this coolant temperature hack in my gen3 prius. I'd like to do the same for gen4. I need the pin information on engine ECU to access the thermistor. Anyone has tried this? or has diagram to share. thanks in advance.

    yet another thermistor hack for Gen3 | PriusChat

    As your link says it makes sense only for the cars with PHEV kits.
    Why void your warranty?

    Thanks for the link, but it requires paid subscription. Any one who has info on how about engine ECU to access the thermistor pins?

    You might be lucky if @Elektroingenieur is able to help. He had the subscription but the information may be confidential and thus illegal for him to disseminate.
