    Is there suppose to be a splash shield on the other set of connectors on the wires by the inverter ?
    I wonder if this is another cost savings measure. Thanks for any help.

    It's called an ECU connector cover.

    ECU wire protector cover...worth $25? | PriusChat

    It is NOT supplied on an US Prius.

    I sourced and imported a small number from Japan, but I've been banned from selling them here to other members.

    I originally bought the older version from an eBay seller from Japan. It took 3-1/2 weeks for delivery.

    I now have the NEW VERSION with the "easy removal tabs."

    Removing the older version requires a special tweezers like tool. If done incorrectly, you can damage the connectors.
