Howdy. I cant get a hold of you because my DM's are turned off due to inactivity, but I have a linear valve calibration question for a gen 2 prius that I think you may have the answer to. will see if admins turn it back on...

Thank you very much for taking the time to send me that information concerning the storage tank and how it operates. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your help. That was exactly the problem I had.
The dealership told me the combo meter was bad (IT WASN'T)
It was all just the inverter pump burning out and causing an internal short.
I should of just come here first!!

I do not know how to start a conversation; however, I did leave you a message last night.

The Prius engine is apparently in an old truck . Yep go figure

Years ago I put zeppo on ignore

Admin, please reactivate my private messages... Thanks

Hey Chapman this is Bryan from the U0293 post I’m having the same issue again code U0293, I wanted to see if there’s more issues I’m not aware of related to this could the 12v charging circuit cause this?

chapman help! if my hybrid battery only clicks once when trying to go into ready mode , what’s the most likely culprit? the orange safety plug? i ran out of gas and can’t get it started again

3. I wish I had known about LKQ.com a year ago. I think i would have been OK with the new master cylinder if i had bench-bled it, but i was pushed in a corner [pressed for time - had to go visit Family] and had to take it to the dealer to let them bleed it for $275.00. BTW, how do U become a senior member ? After all, I'm almost 83 :-)

2. My 'booster/accu.' was good, but now i have all new. In December 2023 the local Toyota dealer quoted me $1100.00 each, but last month their price had dropped to $750, so i bought new instead of paying only $250 from a salvage yard. If i had it to do over again i would at least try the salvage yard unit - LKQ.com was good to deal with.

1. THANK You, Mr. ChapmanF, for answering my questions. My local Toyota parts man was right when he guessed that my problem was an internal leak in the Brakes Master Cylinder [picture of which you labeled brake booster assembly]. BUT, I thought i might get by cheaper changing the booster/accumulator for only $450 from Amazon. Wrong.

ChapmanF you can probably identify this issue! I have a 2011 Prius and on January 20th of this year, this loud hum noise started http://link.www.ridesharedriver.blog/Prius_hum_noise. That is from a mic on the "Shotgun seat" While I am driving on Interstate 275 in Tampa, FL. The noise is very loud in the car. When I get over to the left or make a left turn the noise goes away.



Thanks,

I am having ABS 33-34, (!) 36, VSC 43 just like it..
Thus I am stealing the feed from the front sensors to feed the rear sensor..
1. Are front sensor unique? ie different than the rear.. ie is the start up test failing because my front check signal is different that the rear check signal.

Yeah...no way I'm playing with hot High Voltage. Hence my "interesting" comment.... Thanks.

You're the PriusChat poster with the greatest technical training. Things you've written have been quite helpful to me in recently years on Gen IIs and Gen III's. Do you know of any a coherent discussion of trickle charging a Prius traction battery using a 300mA/250VDC power supply in the form of a Meanwell LED driver module? Can it be done without removing the traction battery from the vehicle?

On a generation 2 brake pump replacement accumulator pump replacement where does the electronic box go where is it located in the car have any idea I don't see it

Where's your tip jar? Excellent advice that I had a hard time prioritizing myself. Thank you kindly.

Mr.Chapman, I can't thank you enough for pointing out that water drains down through the back side of those low drain openings that I covered with wire and then down further. Your warning about not blocking that outer drain was very much appreciated, and in fact the foam blocked the drain
