Is there any way to monitor the engine status?

    Hello All
    I used to have an app that works with a plug in OBD2 sensor that would tell me the stats of how the engine was doing
    Is there a way to do that on a 2010 Prius?
    Thanks

    What app did you have?

    The Prius has the one plug under the steering wheel and should work with your app. I use a kiwi2 with the dash command app. Reads codes and gives basic info on the Prius .

    Why not just use the same app and ODB2 plug-in as before? The 2010 Prius has some additional codes (available on a spreadsheet somewhere around here) that your previous vehicle lacked, but the standard codes are the same.
