Separate names with a comma.
I'm not sure that this qualifies as a ringing endorsement. Again, why would you want to clear codes on a vehicle with an existing problem,...
By clearing the codes, you have erased the freeze frame data. That data is designed to facilitate diagnosis of the issue that triggered the...
Did you record freeze frame data before clearing the codes?
Screen 1 would have also listed the three-digit information code. You need that. Ignore C1259 for now. It's a companion code to P3120. Focus on...
While the battery may indeed be weak, the symptoms can be caused by many issues other than a weak battery. There are 38 modules. The modules...
Unfortunately, not all of the information for this code is in one place in the manual. Regarding that particular information code, you can...
Good point. You've been advised that P3125 is usually resolved by replacing the inverter. This is not necessarily true for the Gen 1 Prius....
It was cost-effective, but not time-effective, because they had to wait about a month for some bearing shims. But that's an unusual circumstance,...
I would disagree with the previous recommendations to use a cheap code reader on this vehicle. It is not uncommon for such devices to output the...
I'm aware of that. However, I think your logic is flawed. I doubt people think to log in to PriusChat to report a successful diagnosis. I...
If you're looking for inverters that have been diagnosed as failed, you may want to ask around at dealerships in your area. I'm just trying to...
Let's back up a minute. This seems to be an emotional issue for you, and your post has gone off on quite a few tangents. I don't think you are...
A warranty on a used transaxle is almost pointless. You will still be out the R & R of the unit (twice), plus shipping of a very heavy transaxle....
I was responding to a post in which the writer claimed that the dealer is "not able to disassemble and replace components" - which, in the case of...
Any 2001-2003 transaxle will do. However, Toyota cannot test the motor windings before installing the transaxle in your vehicle. So you'll be out...
Yes, I'm aware of that. It's still parts swapping. Yet you have characterized the strategy as "an improvement over a typical dealer tech, who...
I disagree. I have seen faulty inverters which would exhibit normal signals during such testing. That sounds awfully time-consuming. Can you...
Let's say the signals are not failing. What then? What tools and methods would you use to check those components?
With all due respect, I disagree. To begin with, the prejudicial "typical dealer tech, who would start swapping parts" statement can be set...
Once you remove the cover, the rotor will be free to come into contact with the stator. However, this will not damage either component....
