Today, when I pushed my EV mode switch, I got the 3 beeps (can't go into EV mode). This is after the car is warmed up and I have been driving for 15 minutes. Any idea has to why this is happening? |

Do you have the grill blocked and it was a warm day? Your inverter/MG temps may have been too high. There are several known factors that will prevent EV mode and a few that are still mysteries. |

My Car: 2006 Prius Package: #1 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: EV mode doesn't work today Well, the EV mode worked perfectly today. I made a round trip from work to home and back to work (20 miles - 71mpg). Yesterday was an unusal day for me as far as driving. It was mid 80s in temperature and I made several short and medium trips. The grill is not blocked on my car. As I was leaving one place of business, the battery state of charge showed green. I could not go into pure EV mode. efusco, I think you are right, the inverter was warm. I total forgot about that. Thanks. |

Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and maybe Bipolar Disorder also. It's a total crapshoot when mine will function. It never works after the car has been started. |
