    I wish I had not spent money on Torque Pro... It doesn't really even work with Prius PIDs and they could care less once they get their money out of you. Try using Dr. Prius App or Toyota Techstream...

    You need to download the Toyota pods and I has every one in the car as far as I can tell.

    Did you see 5 coolant sensor pods on Dr. Prius if so do you know where the 5 sensors are.

    I am just trying to figure out where they all are located. I know there is one on overpass hose,and one under the get cooler on the engine block . So if there are 3 more it would be great to know where.My car has 325.000 miles so I want to replace parts before issues arrive.

    IIRC there is a lot of superfluous stuff that comes with the prius pids. What is your concern exactly? Coolant temp?

    Is the one temp sensor reading not enough?

    At that mileage I would replace the water pump and thermostat. Water pumps don't last forever and are extremely important. I'm about to replace my water pump at 150,000 miles. It sucks that it's so expensive.

    What else is there really to replace? The temp sensor itself? (those used to go bad on Saturns), Radiator?

    I'm assuming the coolant has been replaced at least once.

    As always, I don't actually know I'm just throwing out my thoughts...
