    Does the brake light and headlight use the CAN-BUS system for the Gen 3 Prius?

    Their status is reported on the CAN Bus, but they are probably directly wired (via relays for the HLs?). I would have to check the wiring diagram to be certain.

    Hi JeffD, do you have any possibility to check if fuel consumption is also on the CAN-BUS on the OBD-II plug? Thanks,
