Ah, you have discovered that the Gen1 Prii DO have some guts... which were, I think, de-emphasized in later generations, in favour of fuel...
Replaced the Gen I inverter pump this morning. Part #G9020-47022, about US$115 (part + s/h) from Toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com (formerly...

My '03 Prius (265k miles) just last week threw the P3025 and P3030 codes, on a not particularly hot summer day in the American northeast... which...
Radar detector? on a PRIUS???? (of course, I have taken mine over 160 km/h, downhill, with the wind at my back)...

I vote for the correct part. The cost of incorrect operation of a substitute is, as Patrick pointed out, VERY high, and I personally would not...
