    So I contacted the guy that “fixed” it before.
    He is sending a tech tomorrow to replace the ECU.
    The thing is even with the RToD and the Fan. Car was still running “ok”, not like before when it was only rev mode.
    Also is 122F really high temperature ? I saw around it is acceptable until over 125.

    Does Dr Prius throw subcodes for P3000 ? Because once I told him the code he knew it was the ECU, I mean he might be right, the Dr Prius battery monitor doesnt seen to be to randomly, idk, maybe Im too desperate.

    I just need this car running ok til april when I will sell it to any dealership as a trade in.

    my Prius was completely unresponsive one morning. after jumping it, all was good. Until, I wanted to drive the next day and the same thing. Long story short I had to jump it then drive 200 miles home after a flight back from Europe and being up for almost 24 hours without the ability to pull over and snooze when needed. Replaced it the next day in the Toyota parking lot and no troubles since. (minus a headlight going out)

    Wow Nancy that sounds like a nightmare. The flight from Europe alone would have done me in much less G2 shenanigans.
