Is it normal for the engine to turn on for about a minute when you first start it? Mine always does it, seems normal, but just wanted to check and also find out why. I assume it has to power a couple electrical things in the car?
View 1 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Smart Key Working On Doors But Engine Won't Turn On
I have a 2007 Prius. Last night, my neighbor said he thought he heard my car alarm going off. I used my car fob to turn the alarm on then off to ask him if that's what he'd heard, and it wasn't. Seems he mistook someone else's car for mine.
Today, I find my car's smart key functionality is limited. I can keep the keys in my pocket and still unlock and lock the doors, but the engine won't turn on, instead displaying the key symbol on the dashboard; I need to insert the fob into the slot instead. None of the buttons (lock, unlock, alarm) on the fob work. The smart key button under the wheel is protruding, as I believe it should.

Bought 2005 new, Bought 100,000 mile warranty. At about 90,000 miles had a problem. Dashboard lights did not come on, rear hatch would not unlock, car would not turn off, key would not come out. Dealer could not figure out problem. Problem happened intermittently, Took it in 3 times, Nobody knew what to do but finally they replaced a computer somewhere in the dash I think. 2 years and 70,000 miles later the problem has started again. 2 years ago dealer said techs had not encountered with this problem. Hard to believe it is only my car, twice!

Traveling downhill, with no throttle input. The car is regenerating power as I coast down the hill. I hear the engine turn on and rev up. I glance at the Scangauge and see RPM is at 3045 or so. MPG is still 9999 and SOC is 77.

View 3 RepliesTouareg :: 2004 - Engine Do Not Turn Over Intermittently?
I have a 04 V8 Automatic. In the last few days, only once in a while, with no repeating pattern, it has had trouble starting. The starter cycles but the engine do not turn over.
Battery: I have reviewed the battery charge by checking the voltage on the dash meter before attempting to start and it is consistently over 12V and at 14V when it is running. Usually after multiple attempts it starts or in some cases if I wait and come back it starts. I have never had to jump it. Based in this I ruled out the battery since - if it was drained or not holding its charge I should not have been able to start it - correct?
Items draining battery: I read many posts indicating problems with items such as the compass draining the battery after the vehicle is shut off. I do not think this is the issue either since the battery is holding its charge.
Fuel Pump: I am thinking it is the fuel pump not properly priming when I open the door. I tried to test this by opening the door, listening for the pump priming then attempting to start it. It started whether or not I heard the pump prime. Should the pump prime every time after the engine is shut off? Is this a valid test or does the pump only prime after driving? Is there a better way to validate if it is the pump? Would this show up in the error codes? (I do not have a way to check the codes other than taking it to the dealer)
Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Won't Turn On
Our Prius had been sitting all week because it was out of inspection. No problems like what I'm about to describe. We went to take it to get it inspected this morning and it wouldn't turn on. After monkeying around a little it kicked on and off we went. On our way home we stopped at a store and had no problems. We checked the energy display and the battery symbol was fine. We got home, shut the car off, went to lock the doors and nothing would happen. We attempted to start it again and it was completely dead. No error messages, no beeping, no nothing. I read that it could be the battery, but everything had been fine until we shut it off.
View 4 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: AC Won't Turn On Whether Engine Is Hot Or Cold - Fuses Ok
My 2004 GX470 started to have intermittent problems the last 2 weeks, where you would start up the engine and sometimes the A/C would not come on. Today it won't come on at all.
I homed out the fuse in the engine block for the A/C using my digital multimeter, and another smaller fuse that was a 7.5 Amp fuse, but and they check out, so the problem must be something else.
The A/C appears to be doing this whether the engine is cold in the morning or hot after you have driven it, and our temperature gauge is normal, and no check engine lights. Why the A/C is not coming on?

My 2004 Saturn Ion, 235,000 miles, 2.2 engine is idling erratic when I turn on AC. It sounds as though the compressor is turning on and off. The air is cold then blows warm then cold etc. Is it the compressor or could it be a relay or fuse. It also overheated last week but not sure if problems are connected. I am idling car right now with AC off to see if fan comes on.
View 3 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: 2004 - Headlights Turn Off Quite Randomly
2004 Prius. Sometimes, quite randomly, the headlights will turn off. Sometimes its both, sometimes its the left only, and sometimes its the right only. This affects both main and high beams. The dash lights and tail lights may still be on (panicking doesn't give me time to confirm that), but for sure the Nav panel is still lit.
The first time this happened was when I was driving on a mountain road at night in the rain. It now happens almost every night and I have confirmed that it also happens in daytime. Road conditions (bumpy/smooth, wet/dry, dark/well lit) do not seem to be a factor.
At least once while still in my garage, when I started the car the left light was out. I can get the lights to turn back on by turning them off all the way and then back on. Nothing else works. I have replaced the relay for the lights - that didn't change anything.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 Won't Turn On Unless Key Fob Is In Dash
Both key fobs are acting the same way. The car wont turn on unless the key fob is in the dash. the rear hatch won't open unless the unlock button it is pushed twice then the rear hatch can be opened.
I did some searching and its looking like the 12v battery could be causing this. its an 3 year old optima.
Also we had about a 7-8 mpg drop on the last tank of gas.
car has 122k on it. its an 2007.
Prius (2004-09) :: Could Not Shift Out Of Neutral Or Turn Car Off
We love our 04 Prius (190K, still original brakes, etc.). Today we encountered a strange problem. My wife was driving and pulled into a parking lot. She could not turn the car off , remove the box key, or shift out of neutral. No warning lights.
After about 10 min. the car would drive again. We've now cycled about 5 times (i.e. driven somewhere) and it seems OK. We replaced the 12V battery a couple of years ago and haven't seen any problems in that area.
Prius (2004-09) :: Windshield Wipers Won't Turn On
My front windshield wipers seem to have gone kaput. I went to clean the windshield yesterday, and while the fluid shot out freely, the wipers didn't move. I tried intermittent, frequent, etc, and nothing got them to move. The back wiper works fine. I restarted the car, checked to make sure that nothing was blocking movement, and still no movement.
Which fuse controls the wipers? Before I head to the dealer (it's been 5 weeks since my last visit), I'd like to see if a blown fuse is the cause of the problem.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - AC Has Never Worked Right / Won't Turn On Sometimes
Our Prius has been like this since the day we bought it (used.) The A/C will only work sometimes. It won't ever blow hot air or anything, it simply won't turn on. I press the button and...no air! If it works then it works great. It seems to be related to the weather. If it is super hot outside and we've got a bunch of errands to run, often it won't ever turn on. Sometimes it will after a long time, randomly. And then usually when it's cooler outside, the A/C will come on immediately with no problem. This is the same with the heat.
