My 2009 PA093 MisAdventure

I'm 300 kilometers south of Vancouver, BC. and have a spare pump on my parts rack at my house and could put it on really quick for a real low price... But I suspect that's a bit too far away from where you are. If it wasn't so smoky from all the wildfires I could drive a ways North and meet you and get it done, but I get sick just briefly going outside in this madness right now. One thing you can do is drive at night when its cool out. The other thing you can do is buy a bag of ice and put it on top of your inverter, ideally a 1/2 hour of so before you start driving again.

 

What I did was take the heater core pump from between the break actuator and the stroke simulator which is the master cylinder if you will that the pedals connected to there's a little spa pump that sits in between those two devices It's the same size hose and from what I can tell it pumps water into the heater core I took that pump put it down where my inverter pump was plug the hoses right up to it slid the clamps down cut the plug off with the pump and everything moved it down to the spot where the inverter pump goes hooked up nicely still in there. And use the plug that came with the pump and wired it to the plug where the inverter pump is very similar plugs no big issue that pump has been down there running the inverter for almost a year now maybe a little longer It never even gets temperature anymore I can always hold that inverter pump in and out fittings on the bottom of the aluminum pan of the inverter never have to move my hand I just joined the two hoses where I move the pump for the heater core and when I got finished with all that and got done and back home. Out of a spare car I replaced the heater pump and I left the heater pump in my '09 as my inverter pump and still in there today looks like it doesn't have the burning up problems that can happen with the flat pancake mag drive type pump.

 

Generally I clear it after I scan the car do the repair for the code I clear the code let the computer re-scan after it's cleared to make sure it's not still sitting there no matter what the lights on the dash are telling me that's just protocol at least here it is.

 

My Wifes Car through a code when her invertor died. I used Dr. Prius App to clear the code and its never been back. This was 2 years ago.

 

Another idea is to try and grab one from a junkyard along the way. Or an autozone if you trust them and got the bucks, maybe buy some tools, swap it out, you can call the junkyards and ask on availability of at least having a prius, best! My codes tend to clear after 5 minutes of driving...
