    Thanks, it has cured itself again. This car's going to put me nuts. Anyway my car is rhd, does that mean it will be opposite to the diagram on page 58?

    Sorry I forgot where you were. You should really check it from RHD wiring diagram if those two circuits share a common ground point or something else. Unfortunately I don't think I have an access to one now. Wiring manual will also have all the locations. You can get access to Toyota manual with small pay.

    Hello,
    >>This thread was #1 in DDG search for "prius thinks door is open"
    I had this problem and fortunately it turned out to be very simple. (I'm not claiming I found it quickly. :() I had just unloaded some heavy bags from the back hatch and had displaced the rubber seal near the latch. It wasn't obvious and the door still closed and latched, but it had moved enough to prevent the "closed" switch from working.
    Worth checking this before embarking on more complicated troubleshooting.
