I think the kilometres driven is the best measure of how much we saved the planet (or at least damaged it more slowly), or how much fuel we saved....
What brought this up was that I had thought about it a few years back, and had started writing a V850 simulator. I will revisit this at some...
It is true - but as an example, the Nissan 200SX has ECU ‘chipping’ by replacing the mask ROM - the advent of flash ‘ROM’ is recent enough that we...
Our ECUs are flashable, to allow fixes to be applied. The number of ECUs in our Gen 2 Priuses is reasonably substantial, and most of them are...
The main ‘gotcha’ is that the NWH11 Gen 1 uses 38 ‘slices’ of NiMH battery, the NWH20 uses 28. So you need to get hold of two NWH20 batteries to...
Thinking about this further; this failure mode is almost certain to happen with all electrified vehicles. Probably the only safe EV is the Nissan...
I agree; Nissan already took the name ‘Primera’ (for a similar reason - their first car made in Europe). Well Brexit lol anyway;
I bought a 2002 Silver NWH11 for my mum, December 2019; then along came a covid. My mum still can’t come to New Zealand because covid (she is...
Thank you! Now I just need to sort the battery (all the blocks that should be 14.4v are 15.30 (one of them), 12v (2 of them); 8,6 and most are 2.5...
My Japanese import NWH11 has the opposite problem; it has a transponder key, but also a plain metal key. Somehow, the immobiliser was disabled...
Hi! Does anyone know the diameter, of the inverter coolant pump pipes? I’m parked up at the auto store, so can’t measure it, half an hour so far...
Hi! I’m new to the PriusChat shop; I want to buy the leather seat covers - but my address, in New Zealand, means I can’t purchase; Is there any...
If it is going into ‘R’ below 9mph, and ‘N’ at higher speeds, then that is expected behaviour if you were putting it into reverse - and will 99%...
So I got my HV water pump replaced for free yesterday, as in NZ it is a ‘safety’ recall, so doesn’t expire! The old pump had actually failed...
I would keep the ECU. give it a good clean, and get rid of those fibrous whiskers that are visible on the detailed photo :) On the slightly...
There are 1k-ohm resistors for each line - also the ECU does use opto-isolation to keep the HV from the low-voltage side; the ECU is well designed...
Do you still have the car? I bought an identical car December 2019 for pocket change; my mother is stuck in the UK (and self isolating since...
I hope you got it sorted! My Prius ran fine after the work I did, but I had a sudden hybrid system failure on a motorway! Triangle, 'Problem', and...
NZ is right in the middle of getting owned in a second wave; I am up in Auckland. In four minutes an announcement re: lockdowns will occur;...
Faulty Priuses sell very cheap; I was shocked to find out that Gen 2 are being crushed due to this. Selling the catalytic converter separately...
