I bought a 2010 last weekend. Was a 200 mile trip home. Showed 2 pips on instrument cluster. Filled up before leaving city I bought the prius in (held 6.4 gallons) before starting 200 mile drive home. It never went above 2 pips after complete fill up. 40 or 50 miles later 1 pip. Then another 40 or 50 miles 1 pips starts flashing.... Wife's in the 2021 prius following me and I'm on the phone with her saying "well this could be interesting when car finally thinks it out of gas". Made it to with 17 miles of house and complete power loss. Pulled out techstream and code P3193 (out of gas) At that point it was 1am and I just had AAA tow it to house. It was showing between 51-53mpg average entire trip, as went up and down a few small areas of elevated terrain. I've bought a philco replacement pump assembly off Amazon. Before I take old pump out are there any things I should try 1st? Second Gen could recalibrate cluster.... I've found zero info on doing this in 3rd gen.
Yeah it's a generation 3 you go through the floor of the undersest cushion . Just wait till you take the old pump out and break the plastics around it off not literally just remove . And have a look at what you got it should be the stdcfuel pump Toyoda has used for 30 some odd years . . Can be had anywhere from $17 to over 100
So far ive gotten the OEM (brand) fuel pump removal loan a tool at autozone. It wont bite the plastic collar for crap.... Went to advance auto and they had a 3 ear one... it doesn't seem to bite before the adjustable ears slip. Unlike the autozone 2 prong one the advance auto 3 prong you cant lock down the size setting... its on a slider to adjust ear diameter size... and its slipping. All of my screw drivers are old (1960s and 70s era craftsman) and dont have a reinforced tip. Last time I whacked one good, whole handle shattered off. So I might go buy a big newer screw driver to whack at it with.
