    car: 2007 Prius base model TAXI
    Odometer: 180k
    Codes: poaa6-526-613
    Symptoms: drives sluggish like dragging an anchor across the street especially uphill without a good head start and dashboard lights up after a 30 min drive and I’m at a stop, always.

    I’m pretty car savvy but of course the Prius is a different kind of language.

    What I need:
    I have techstream but need to figure out how to check which cable or mg1 or mg2 or if it’s the ac compressor/wire that has an issue. If possible can someone please guide me to where to begin by diagnosing where the problem is? Thanks

    Thanks. I can’t find a cheap megger to measure the ohms. Hopefully I can rent one nearby

    I’m in Fairfield. I have a cheap multimeter. What do you need the merger for:whistle:?

    I don’t have one, but the basic multimeter should help with initial troubleshooting ;).

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    Meggers are under $100 for inexpensive ones these days.
    That is way cheaper than they were in the past. They used to be hundreds of dollars.

    I see some for under 100$ on eBay but I’m not sure if they are the right ones and most are like a week out from China. I will roll the dice tonight and buy a cheap one though. I was just seeing if I could borrow one this week to avoid waiting for this sucker to come in the mail.
