Changed out ABS Actuator now Prius won't shut off :>(

.

 

I was hoping someone would look at the last post on page one of this thread and read the techstream pics I posted and see what they can interpret. Thanks.

 

This is the YT vid I watched to help me burp the air out of the lines when the ABS actuator is not working properly due to air build up in the lines. I'm sure it isn't the "best" way to bleed the air, but I thought I'd give it a try. Now, remember, this guy drove his vehicle around a field and stomped on the brakes. My Prius is up on blocks, so I put the car into "Drive" and depressed the gas pedal. The rpms on the dash registered 55mph. Once I achieved that speed I depressed the brake pedal (i.e. stomped on the brakes). I did this a few times to see if the air would bleed out of the lines. I did not check crack open the lines because it was too late in the day to go through the entire brake bleed process. But I did capture the screen shots. I now understand what ChapmanF was talking about when he said he could only see a partial screen shot. But, for some unknown reason, while my Prius is up on the blocks the 12V battery is drained of all power. At this moment I am currently charging the battery and have commitments this morning so I won't be able to capture the entire screen shots until this afternoon. I do know that with nothing on and the hatch open I can visually watch my hand held electrical meter drop in voltage. It goes very quickly, I must say. So, I'll charge up the battery and then take some screen shots.

This is the right side pics of the dtc screen in techstream. Sorry it took me so long to reply but the learning curve to understand techstream is steep and I'm a noob. Hope these help.

 

Well, I went out to the Prius with my techstream in tow thinking I could clear the codes and begin again. Hooked the computer wire into the obd2 port and started looking for the button/tab which says "reset codes". Didn't find that option so I unplugged the computer from the obd2 port and used the paper clip option. Inserted the paper clip into the obd2 plug, turned the Prius on, the engine started and depressed the brake pedal so the axle would not spin. This was done while the paperclip was in the obd2 port. I shifted the transmission between Park, drive and reverse a couple of times. I then noticed smoke coming from the area of the dash where the dash lights appear. I shut down the Prius completely. Went to the engine bay to look for the location where the smoke originated. Sniffing on top of the inverter I did not smell smoke. Even poked my nose deep under the cowel where the accumulator connector is located and I did not smell smoke. But, to the left of the inverter, near the spark plug rail I did smell smoke, but I did not see any smoke. This could have been a light bulb within the dash lights getting hot. IDK, I just turned off the car and went inside of my house, frustrated.

 

Inside. Small whisps barely visible but there.

 

I cleared the DTC's. Reran the code reading function in the Techstream and this is what I got for DTC's. c1256 appeared and the c1391 disappeared. Wonder if the Prius is getting "better". hehe Now I got to figure out what detail freeze 141 corresponds to.

I'm getting used to piddling with the Techstream, but at the same time I feel that if I push the wrong command bad mojo could erupt underneath the hood of my Prius.

I also noticed the drivers side front window will go up and when it hits the top stop the window will move down about three inches. Something is wonky with that.

 

After clearing the codes and retesting this is the fault codes that appeared:

c1252
c1256
c1345

After pondering the readings I'm thinking the problems lie in two areas. One, the accumulator is bad. Flat out bad and its not working like it should. And the next is a connection problem. Maybe I missed a connector and that's what's causing the wonky DTC codes. So tomorrow I'm going out and pulling the inverter and see what might lie underneath. Do some poking around and hopefully I'll find two ends that were not connected together.

Thanks dolj for helping with the window problem. I did your "trick" and it worked out nicely. I appreciate your input.
