    I am getting what sounds like my power steering belt screeching on my 2012 prius c Two on startup. I thought this model has no belts, so what may be the cause of this noise?

    About the only thing I can think of is the inverter coolant pump?

    Thank you for your idea. Is there an online diagram or picture of the pump and it's location? I am having an issue with my '06 prius where I am getting occasional p1150 dtc indicating stuck coolant control valve. I am wondering if this is the same problem. The only solution for the p1150 from the members here has been to add Barr's water pump lubrication to unstick the valve.
