    Codes just showed that I need to replace my inverter pump, can I last three weeks with a little driving before doing in? Thanks so much.

    The temperature generally going down this time o Year so I would say yes unless you're beating the hell out of the car a lot of highway driving and high speed driving I've driven in North Carolina for half a year without an inverter pump without any trouble car drove impeccably the way it was used. And hopefully you're going to do this in your driveway just need a 10 mm long socket and two corks to block off the water pipes was as you pull them off and a long pair of needle nose to unplug the connector before you undo the three gold screws and withdraw the pump this is like a 30 minute operation but you can go ahead and pay whatever and do what have you want I guess.

    In any case, it is worth monitoring the inverter temperature with some program from the phone.
    There are no special devices with scales for measuring and monitoring temperature on the Prius dashboard.
    When the red warning light comes on, it may be too late.
    The pump costs little, the cost of replacing the inverter will be tens of times more expensive and more difficult to replace.
