Prius (2004-09) :: Reset The Oil Maintenance Light Now Car Won't Start
I changed the oil. Then I needed to reset the maintenance light. I followed the owners manual directions, which worked and I saw the 00000000 in the odometer. Now all the warning lights are on and the car won't start. I suspect it's related to the order or timing of pushing the start button but I'm afraid to try too many times. What this is?

Prius (2010-12) :: Upon Start Up Oil Maintenance Required Came On?
Ok, so I had the IM replaced today in my 2010 III due to CEL illumination, will post error code and part # later. Prior to taking it in, my "Oil Maintenance Required" came on upon start up, so I had them do that while I was there getting the IM replaced. Then the service tech comes to me and says, "Your back brakes have 0 pads and you need new rotors, a front end alignment and possibly new tires."
I just bought this car, Toyota Certified, on December 12, 2013!

I am going to forego the 25,000 maintenance and do the oil changes & such myself from here on out. How do I make the message go away?

The maintenance required light on my 05 Prius just came on and I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I checked every single thing under info>>>Maintenance but no luck. I have a 110 miles trip planned out for tomorrow.

Changed the engine oil last weekend at the in-laws' house. 800 miles later (they live 600 miles away, memorial day weekend getaway) today the Maint Req'd light came on. I checked the service manual and just as I suspected it said to replace the engine oil.

I just bought my 2007 prius about a month ago. now the check engine light is on... Can I go to 7/11 to get the code checked? Also I need to smog the car soon.. so hopefully the code isn't that big of a problem. The car runs great still.. averages around 50 mpg so far..
View 2 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: No Startup / Maintenance Light Flashing
So I had a random issue today. I went to start my car this evening, and it wouldn't start. The lights on the dashboard (warning, maintenance, etc.) lit up, and the headlights and interior lights were extremely dim. Figured it was an issue with the battery. Used my husband's car to run errands and came back about an hour later. We decided to try starting the car again, and it turned on, headlights and interior lights were normal brightness, but the gas gauge is at one bar, which I know isn't possible because I have only put 166 miles on this tank of gas. I reset the gauge at each fill-up so I can track how my mileage changes. The maintenance light is also still flashing. None of these were issues I had last night, so what could be causing all these problems? Can I fix it myself, or do I need to take it into my Toyota dealership?

I have a gen 2 prius bought last year. So far I have run 9972 miles. But the maintenance reminder light is not on. I am going to change the oil any way. Just not sure why my reminder is not on. Could it be disabled?

I'm still trying to get a manual for my recently acquired 2004 Prius, so I can't trace down what this means....
When I start the car, recently, a "Maint Required" light comes on and flashes about three or four times, then goes away. This is after all the other dash lights during the test phase go out. When I took it to have the codes read, the device said "No Codes" stored.
What does this mean? And is it a serious problem?
Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Checking Status / Maintenance Hybrid Battery
My 2007 Prius has been with me for 3 months now. I am really happy with its performance, especially its fuel consumption rate.
I would like to check the state of the hybrid battery and maintenance it if necessary. How could I get this done?
Prius (2004-09) :: High Coolant Temperature Warning After Maintenance Work
I was driving my 2007 Prius on the freeway this morning after picking it up from my mechanic and the high coolant temperature warning light came on for ~4-5 seconds but then disappeared. I was able to safely drive it another 5 miles to work and park. My mechanic changed the engine and transaxle fluids in my car (along with pcv valve and serpentine belt replacement, engine oil and filter change) just before, so we think this could have been due to an air pocket in the coolant system. I will need to check the coolant level once the engine has cooled down and refill if necessary. I plan on driving it around locally before going on the freeway in case the warning comes on again.

I have a 2005 Prius. After driving home from a 95K routine maintenance inspection, the car (with the display indicating 50% in the gas tank) went to limp mode and then stopped entirely and had to be towed back to the dealer. The codes pulled were
P0A0F (Engine failed to start)
P3000 (Battery control system)
B2799 (Immobilizer Malfunction)
P3190 (Poor engine power).
The techs concluded that the car was simply out of gas and the display incorrectly showed I still had gas in the tank due to a broken sender in the tank. They also said they added 1 1/2 gallons, and the car ran fine again.
However, I keep meticulous records of when I get gas, and according to my numbers I had at least 5 gallons left in the tank. Sure enough, the tech topped the tank up, which only took 4 gallons, so clearly my tank was not empty when this happened.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 Won't Shut Off At Stop Lights After Fuel Injection Maintenance
Took my 2005 Prius for an oil change. Dealer called and recommended fuel injection service because of carbon buildup and mileage (50,000). On my way home on a mild day with heat and AC off it didn't shut off at stop lights all the way home. Battery was charged. Never had this happen before and it's demoralizing because I really love my car!
View 19 RepliesMaintenance / Repairs :: Car Won't Start - Clicks With Ignition Off
My son's car wouldn't start after parking at burger king. In off, the car has clicks just behind the floor shifter in a black module and under and foward of engine compartment fuse block. Only way to stop clicking is to move ignition switch to another position or pull IB Battery MaxiFuse in engine compartment fuse block. No activity from car in any other ignition position. no instrument panel lights, radio.
Thought ignition switch changed it, same condition. Battery checks out good. jumpstarting even using a second ground on engine doesn't change symptom. I can't find the modules that are clicking in my Chilton manual. What are the clicking modules and how can I move forward to get the car out of the burger king parking lot?
Camry 2012+ :: Maintenance Required Light Blinking At Start Up
Maintenance Required Light just started blinking at start up... Blinks 8 times then stops. Looked up in manual. Will start blinking at start up at 4500 miles and then stay on after 5000 miles. Guess it's time to schedule the 1st trip to the service department.
Not much on the 5K check
- Fluid Levels
- check brakes
- Rotate tires
- etc
Maintenance / Repairs :: Electrical System Failure After A Jump Start?
So a co-worker needed a jump after leaving her lights on. Her car was parked on a busy road and I had to pull up next to her in the opposing traffic lane to be able to reach her battery. In my haste I put the clamps on the wrong battery terminals on MY car (hers were correctly attached). When I got in my car to start it I could see the wires were smoking and immediately got out and disconnected the cables. We ultimately needed to purchase new cables and were able to start the car. The problem is now her radio doesn't work and when she brought it to the dealer they said there is some kind of electrical system failure?!?! Is that possible? Her car works perfectly fine, except for the radio now so not sure what happened.
View 14 RepliesPrius (Gen 1) :: MPG Dropped After Some Maintenance
My 2007 Prius has about 105,000 miles on it. For awhile I was getting around 41-42 MPG which I thought was a bit on the low side, but the dealership never found any problems. I had the recommended 60k service done then after that stopped going to dealer for routine maintenance like oil changes and such. Lately though, my MPG has dropped to around 37. I use Chevron gas all of the time and I keep up with my oil changes. I try to also make sure my tires are inflated properly.
They had a special on oil changes at the dealer so I asked them what they thought might account for the drop in mileage. Their initial thought was cleaning out the fuel injectors. I do change my own air and cabin air filters.
