    When you're worried about anomalous readings that may or not be a problem.... That's the best time to wash and clean and get done all the maintenance you've wanted to do for your car. Don't let all that worry go to waste, turn it into to hard work to benefit your car instead!

    Dr. Prius is a good app, in the settings you can override the prius HV fan intake to spin faster on lower temperatures. Some people will say "ITS LOUD!" but I listen to music so I don't hear it. Once your SOC is pass 60%, any regen will cause the battery pack temp to rise quickly. Usually when I drive to SF and see the downhills, I blast the AC on full before regening downhill. Hills are not long enough to go pass 65% but the battery pack temps will increase by 10 degrees.
