Separate names with a comma.
It will recover after you change the oil again, but with 5W30. JeffD
The battery ecu monitors module pairs (2 in series) so if you group module pairs so that the sum of their voltages track with the other pairs, the...
Success will depend on how well the replacement module matches the other 27 modules: Capacity - How much energy does each module store Self...
If you discharge at 0.5amps, just multiply the voltage drop by two to get the series resistance. At 100 amps discharge (high acceleration), a...
YY, Measure the series resistance of each module by drawing one amp and measuring the voltage drop at the module terminals (don't rely on the...
Glenn, I buy two refills for the front wipers and then cut down the better of the old ones to refresh the rear wiper. JeffD
A1 Toyota (50 Amity Rd, New Haven, CT, just off the Wilbur Cross Parkway at exit 59), ask for Ken as your service rep and mention me. JeffD
Yes, you buy an "inline" fuse holder (one with heavy wires attached to each end). You connect it to the positive terminal of the 12v battery and...
The DC6 connection leads do have a voltage drop that can cause differences. I measure the module series resistance (read module voltage drop with...
The 12v outlet (AKA cigarette lighter) can only source about 5a (about 60 watts) without getting too hot. If you want to use a higher power...
YY, When you did the discharge, how did you measure the module voltage? You need to measure the voltage at the module terminals to eliminate the...
Torque Pro ($5) on an android pad or phone should do the job. Priidash (free) on a Linux or Windows machine is also a good choice for use with a...
The dealer's book says 5 labor hours, but that includes disassembling the old battery, removing the ECU and installing the old ECU into the new...
It is not the battery that is at risk when doing welding on a Prius, it is the electronics. Welding can be done, but only if care is taken to...
There are two predominant failure modes in Prius modules: One of the 6 cells in one module gets a reverse bias and dies so the module voltage...
The above information is correct as long as you are in "Drive". In "Neutral", regenerative braking is disabled. This can be useful as lightly...
No, The disconnect is done by a set of relays (AKA solenoids) in the HV battery. In the Gen2 Prius, the disconnect hardware is inside the housing...
The issue is safety! The Traction battery (HV) is split in half (reduces dangerous voltage level) and disconnected from the rest of the vehicle...
One was available a while back (PriusChat Shop : Toyota Prius BT Tech Skid Plate - $299.99) for the Gen2 Prius, but I haven't seen it offered...
The 12v battery needs to be able to supply about 20 amps for a few seconds to run some pumps. After that, only a small current is needed. I'm...
